We’ve just witnessed some of the great announcements Apple ever made at a public event, and we are so happy to inform developers today, September 7, about the availability of the GM (Gold Master) versions of iOS 10, macOS 10.12 Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10 operating systems.
If you missed the event that took place earlier, we invite you to take a look at our live blog and see what Apple announced. To summarize, Super Mario Run game is coming to the App Store for iPhone devices, Pokemon Go is coming to the Apple Watch, there’s a new Apple Watch Series 2 smartwatch that’s swimproof, and, last but not least, new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus smartphones that are water and dust resistant.
As expected, the Apple Watch Series 2 smartwatch will be shipping later this month powered by the latest watchOS 3 operating system, and, in the same manner, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are running the newest iOS 10 mobile operating system, which, unfortunately, wasn’t released today to the whole world, but only to developers enrolled in Apple’s Developer Program.
Yes, that’s right, if you have a paid Apple developer account, you can now download the GM (Gold Master) versions of the iOS 10, macOS 10.12 Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10 operating systems on your registered devices. The Gold Master version is the same as the final version that will be available to the rest of the world later this month, but developers are always getting them before anyone else to prepare their apps.
