Well it seems that iOS 5 may launch sooner than expected as according to a recent posting on the Apple Developers board, Apple will be resetting iCloud Backup data for all developer accounts on Thursday, September 22nd.
It is believed that the reset operation is being performed to prepare for the launch of iOS 5 GM which is rumored to launch around the same dates.
On Thursday, September 22, the iCloud Backup data will be reset. Backing up to iCloud or restoring from an iCloud backup will be unavailable from 9 AM PDT – 5 PM PDT. If you attempt a backup or restore during this time, you will receive an alert that the backup or restore was not successful. After this reset, you will be unable to restore from any backup created prior to September 22. A full backup will happen automatically the next time your device backs up to iCloud.
It is recommended for all those testing iOS 5 on their devices to backup all their data locally with iTunes to avoid any loss.
Also, we are hearing many rumors about an Appple Media Event planned for October 5 (that might be the release date for the new iPhone) or probably Apple is just playing a bluff? But as most rumors point out, October is the magic month for iPhone lovers and we will see a lot of new stuff, including hopefully two new models of the iPhone.
