General iOS 7 GM to be released 02/09/13 as beta ends?

Ummm it's quite easy for mere mortals with half a brain to install the GM or any previous beta since Apple is not forcing a check on developer UDIDs.
"So, yeah, it's possible that iOS 7 GM could be ready tomorrow, but no, we mortals won't be able to see it until the Apple event."
I was talking about the GM, that Apple partners get it few days before the Apple event and that the GM has to be ready before the Apple event so it can be installed in the new iPhones.
You won't get the GM before the Apple event.
After the presentation of the new iPhone and iOS 7, yes, even you can install the GM, not before.

It's September, it's considered fall by typical business/marketing/colloquial standards.

Well, Sept. 2nd is basically done with and...nothing. Yet another pointless failed prediction. If sites make one for everyday one of the days will be correct and that will be some sort of a big win for those sites, right?
I think they may.. Only because this beta period has been such a drastic change.. So yeah, there is a CHANCE of it before the media event IMO.
i think there is 0 chance of it before the event because every single GM showed up after the event. invites are likely today but thats about it.
Apple leaks are saying they have a surprise for consumers, as the staff is prepping for iOS 7. This could mean either the release of iOS 7 being on the 10th, like Nuance was saying (I suspect nuance is an Apple partner, and therefore has the GM, which could mean the GM could come to devs early.) OR, Apple will unveil one of their new product lines, being a TV or a Watch, and that will be the surprise Apple is talking about. I am still waiting for Apple Invites to surface, before I get hyped for a September 10th event.

Fair enough. I was talking as if it were released to devs. You are talking about releasing to carrier partners.

Yes, those are the technical/scientific dates, which don't exactly line up when it comes to business/marketing/colloquial season divisions that I mentioned.

Seasons and particular holidays have fairly different meanings and connotations.
How many times do I have to tell you guys that the first Monday in September is ALWAYS a U.S.A. National Holiday? 09/02/2013 was Labor Day, which means everyone in Cupertino had the day off on Monday!
according to both my local newspaper and I may have also read this on neowin.net, the IPhone 5S is NOT supposed to go on sale until the 20th.
Although I am a Member of the Apple Developer Program, I do NOT work for Apple.
I am referring to the 09/02 Rumor in the text below NOT the 09/10 Rumor about the GM getting Released.
Whatever the surprise is, it will be most welcome, I don't particularly like rumors, and yes I do realize that this website is call Macrumors, and that unlike most Forums that I participate in this website does allow Rumors. I just call for some common sence like the chances of the GM Seed coming out on a Monday that is a U.S.A. National Holiday, is just plain NOT common sence!

Folks, the GM is already done. It's been installed on all the iPhones that have shipped to the US. There won't be any other release until the event. It wouldn't make any sense at this point to let the cat out of the bag before the big event. We'll mostly likely see some surprises in iOS 7, but no big visual changes. Just relax and enjoy the event
None of that really means it will or won't happen for sure--just what people currently believe will be the case given all the available information so far (without actually having factual confirmation from Apple itself, which is really the only real/final word when it comes to things of that nature).
