If it's really out, I don't see it...

Me neither. I'm trying ota update and no sign.

It will never be OTA for developers. The public may see it OTA, but even then I doubt it.

Are you trying to say that people who own an iPhone 4s or iPad 3rd Gen who DON"T have a computer will NOT be able to update to iOS 6.0? That is an absurd statement.

If it's not OTA, they yes... they will be stuck in time. Hopefully it won't be the case... but hard to say at this point.

He's speaking of the GM seed. The public update is the GM seed of today which is out next week. Basically, if the GM seed isn't OTA for dev account holders, then it most likely won't be OTA for the public next week. Instead it would be an iTunes update.

Well the GM seed should not be out for the public OTA or any other way, I thought he was referring to the release of iOS 6 on the 19th.

>>> Taking forever to download the GM.

Install was FAST and easy... don't really feel or see anything different. My brightness dimmed again, and of course Passport stuff just goes to a blank page on the iTunes site... looks the same overall. But really what were we expecting?

UDID's do not have to be on a developer account to install the GM correct?

Indeed. My iPhone is up and running - presently re-downloading Maps for Navigon because those don't get backed up...

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Installed on my iPhone and iPad. Just went ahead and did clean, new installs without an older backup.
Always nice to start fresh with a newer OS. Everything working fine except for the keyboard shortcuts
still not syncing.

 

[BLiNK]

as far as i can tell battery performance is pretty decent

iPhone & iPad done... fetching Navigon maps on iPad. iOS6 is nice...

Will we be able to install this, and then upgrade to the official iOS6? Or would we have to downgrade back to iOS5, then upgrade? I ask this because I have a backup of iOS5, and if I cannot go from iOS6 GM to official, that means I would have to use my iOS5, rather than the backup created from iOS6 GM

No. Once you install this one you won't have to downgrade. The GM is the exact same version that Apple will release to the public on September 19th. GM = Next week's "official"

Spent the afternoon sitting in the 100* heat watching a grandson's flag football game. Back off. I'm cranky.

Actually the install went pretty fast... doing a restore now...

 

[Garz]

Yes, of course.

You can't OTA from beta to GM/Official

 

[Fausty82]

You can't OTA from beta to GM/Official

And to clarify, you will be able to OTA from GM to the next version (6.0,1?) when it's available. GM = 6.0 official release.

Ahh, alright, thanks! As for the installation procedure, do I treat it like the betas?
1) Make a backup
2) Install a fresh 5.1.1
3) After it is activated, shift + click and choose iOS6 GM
4) Restore backup from 5.1.1
5) Win??
