No it's the Gold Master which means unless they find a show stopper bug then the GM build will be what's released to the public on the 12th. If everything goes according to plan then this is the version everyone will get in a few days. If there is a bug fix then it should probably be released as a little update to your device that has the GM build installed.

Have had zero issues with the GM release to this point. Functions like you would expect.

Notification Center is tits, otherwise the changes are modest.

Yeah as others said, it will be the same version released next week unless something is terribly wrong. They've gone through 8 (I think?) previous beta versions since WWDC in June, so they've had plenty of time to perfect it.


Well worth the download. I keep finding new features and changes as I've been using my phone today. Another friend of mine installed iOS 5 and we were trying out iMessage...absolutely awesome.

Cool. Will do when I get home.

I have version iOS 4.3.2 currently on mine. Do I need to upgrade to the latest first before I dload iOS 5 or can I upgrade straight to iOS 5? Or dunno?

Have to make sure the check box is selected on each device in iTunes. Physically hook it up, go to the Backup/Sync screen where you select your device, it's on the bottom 1/3 of the screen. For each device.

It's slower than balls though, at least if you have to do a backup during the wifi sync.

Straight to iOS5, why would you do this incrementally? It wipes your iPhone anyways, and install iOS5 and then you will have an option to restore from backup all of your aps/contacts/music/pornos/pictures

Any reason why the standby time dropped from 300 hours on the iPhone 4 to 200 hours on the iPhone 4S?

No need to update to the latest version of iOS 4. I was on 4.3.1 and had no issues going to iOS 5. Make sure you don't click the update button though, in case you didn't see a few posts back, you must click shift (or option on the Mac)+restore (then select the .ipsw that you downloaded).

Ahh gracias! Worked like a charm. I was wondering what the issue was, figured it was because of the beta version of iTunes.

It does seem to be slow. Guess its not an issue if you just plug your phone in at night. It is an issue that I usually put my computer to sleep at night. Oh well.

dual core? I guess these ARM chips don't have all the advanced power management features that Intel chips have. Yes I know ARM uses much less overall but Intel chip can shut down entire cores if not needed or overclock a little to get the job done faster so it can get back to sleep sooner and therefore use less power overall.

I can manually wifi sync, but haven't figured out the trigger to get it to do automagically. My phone battery is below 50% though.

What do you mean by manually? If you have it set up to wifi sync, it should just do it on its own once you plug it into a power source.

It hasn't to this point. You can go into settings>general to manually wifi sync it, but I haven't gotten it to do it on its own yet.
