Earlier rumors claimed that Apple is already preparing for the iOS 7 release date for the Gold Master version. App Advice reported that the iOS 7 beta process is already coming to an end, claiming that the Gold Master will be sent out today, Tuesday, September 3 to developers.

This iOS 7 release date rumors for the Gold Master came from anonymous sources of App Advice, who also claim that it will arrive together with invitations for the iPhone press event set to happen on September 10.

Design & Trend noted in their report, "While other rumors suggest Apple could wait to release iOS 7 Gold Master until after the iPhone event, the final version of iOS 7 is still likely to be available for download on Sept. 20, at least for the iPhone."

The rumors that the iOS 7 Gold Master being ready strengthened even more because the beta 7 has not been released. One of the UK developers said, "After checking to see if iOS 7 beta 7 is live or any other update I got this message while checking OTA. It basically states that an error occurred while checking for a software update, so you are unable to check for an update." 

App developer Owen Wilson posted a screenshot of the email he received suggesting that the iOS 7 release date will happen on September 10. A part of the email reads:

Dear NDEV Developer,

 As you are probably aware, iOS 7 GA will be released on September 10th. The NDEV Program has pre-qualified that SPeechKit 1.4.5 works properly on iOS 7, but we encourage you to conduct your own testing to ensure that when the upgrade happens, your Nuance speech services continue to work seamlessly...

Expect more news to emerge online in the next hours about iOS 7 release date, especially the alleged arrival of Gold Master today, September 3.
