But HW didn't release yet, so how could SW that follows HW release dates come before it then?
Got a tip for us?

Apple wants to be 100% sure that everything works perfectly as iOS 10.3 includes the new file system. If they blow it, this would a catastrophe for Apple. There is no easy rollback with the new file system.
One can question why they didn't wait for iOS 11 to implement the new File System. But this is another topic.

even if you have a friend who works for apple i doubt they know when iOS 10.3 is being released.
I don't think you meant to quote C DM, but your point still stands.
Has anyone asked Russian Siri when is 10.3 going to be released?
Red iPhone 7 and 7+ drop 3/24. This should be when GM drops. Not sure about public release since while they're the same build, there is a different push for GM vs. public, but could be Friday or pushed to next Monday/Tuesday.
It's not some low level retail employee, he works in iOS development. So yes, he does know when it will be released.
But just above he said the GM should be launching when the phone is available on 3/24. I'm so confused.
Did he?

On the last page he said final coming today and that beta 7 is GM. We know that's not possible based on build numbers. I think he is just making things up.
They're not going to release a big point release on a Friday. They almost always release software updates on Monday or Tuesday, with the occasional Wednesday or Thursday thrown in there. I've only seen them release small security point releases on Fridays. Especially the the new file system included, if something goes wrong then they aren't going to risk having to fix problems over the weekend when they could release it just as easily next Monday/Tuesday.
EDIT - never mind, I didn't notice your differentiation between GM and public release. Do they usually release a separate GM build? I always thought the public release WAS the GM build.
So you went from saying final today and that beta 7 is GM to GM is coming tomorrow and release Monday or Tuesday.
I've said it all week. GM tomorrow and Final Monday. We may get the GM today, but no final. Or there may be no GM at all.

He has changed the story 3 times. I don't believe any of it. He is guessing just like the rest of us.
Does Apple ever release separate builds labeled just as GM or would it be labeled the next sequential beta number?
but I thought you had the inside information? You should know the exact release days right? I await anxiously for your insider info to come through
Just my two cents- if the bugs are resolved, then whatever comes is Ok.
But I have reported some serious bugs on Beta 7. I wonder how would they have resolved those in 10 days and release a fixed version today (either beta 8 or GM or whatever).
Alternatively they dont resolve those issues.
anyone could say they know someone that works for apple that is an iOS developer and they know the release date for an update happens to be on such and such date.
I said GM tomorrow, the day HW released. Haven't wavered from that.
The development team chooses beta and GM release, because it's not meant for public use and they know best regarding SW testing. Can't comment on public.
