I read on IBTimes.com the rumour that the iPhone 6 will debut along with iOS 8 at WWDC this year. Now this is in June this year of course. If that rumour has any kind of credibility, surely iOS 8 must be almost ready for beta, no?
I don't normally pay attention to the iOS betas so I'm really leaning on you guys for help here please.
iPhone 6 will debut with iOS 8 at WWDC this year but it won't be released to public right away. Apple might demo the new phone and the new OS but have a release date of couple months out and then the iOS beta starts floating around. Apple historically have released a few versions of the same every other week before the GM version which is probably couple weeks before the actual release of the phone. There is no fixed pattern for the same but I would assume iOS 8 beta 1 released in the same week as WDCC and then expect at least 5 beta version + GM version, two weeks apart so the new phone will be released mid to late Aug + (any extra beta versions which adds approx 2 more weeks per each)
Hopefully, this makes sense...
