iOS 7 Features Rumors, Release Date: Apple’s New Mobile OS Will Coincide With iPad 5 Release According To Reports

The iOS 7 rumors in the blogosphere point to a launch date for the mobile operating system to coincide with the announcement of the new iPad 5. If Apple’s history is any indication, new products by the tech giant always come with some type of new hardware according to the blog Design and Trend.

There were even reports saying that the new iOS 7 will have the same release date as the iPad 5, iPad Mini 2 and the highly-discussed and speculated iPhone 5S and iPhone 6. If it happens, then September would probably be the biggest launch date for Apple in its history.

According to Gotta Be Mobile and in a special video, the iOS 7 Beta 4 is arriving for the owners not only of the iPhone but also the iPad. The mobile tech site said that although the rumors are unconfirmed, it appears to be likely that the company will release a software platform for the tablet devices.

Another reputable tech blog, BGR, confirmed that the iOS 7 Gold Master release is on track for a September release with Apple planning two more beta releases after iOS 7 beta 4.

iOS beta versions gain record adoption rate

Mobile publishing firm Onswipe reported that the adoption of Apple’s iOS 7 beta is moving faster than any previous versions. iOS 7 involved a major design change, something that hasn’t happened since the debut of Apple’s mobile operating system in 2007. It features a new Notification Center, Control Center, and has been redesigned for multitasking.

The beta release of iOS 6 on June 11, 2102 brought in 0.25% mobile device users that visited Onswipe’s site using the new beta 6. Now, as of July 1, OS7 beta users are bringing in 0.46% traffic to Onswipe’s sites.

The 0.77% of iPhone users that visited the various Onswipe’s sites are using iOS7 and 0.28% of iPad users are using the operating system. Last year, for iOS 6 Beta, 0.19% of iPad users that visited and 0.38% of iPhone users that visited were running the beta iOS6.

Mac Rumors reports: “The takeaways from Onswipe, according to CEO Jason Baptiste, are that developers are around twice as excited about iOS 7 as they were about iOS 6, and that they're spending more time getting ready for the big changes coming in the new version of Apple's mobile OS in order to have everything nice and tidy for the consumer launch coming this fall.”
