UPDATE: If you want to get the iOS 8 Gold Master copy check out this link: http://glyee.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-to-get-ios-8-gold-master-gm-copy.htmlApple just released the final copy of iOS 7 and a lot of people asked me where can I download the GM copy, and for those of you that don't know what that means it's essentially the final version of iOS 7 but just released early to developers. iOS 7 will be available to the public September 18th but if want it early stick around. The first thing I would say is make sure you back up your device both on iCloud
and iTunes. Now before I start just want clear up some of the major questions people were asking.
This is the same FINAL version that will be released to the public on the 18th but this is just an early access card, you do NOT need to be on a previous version of iOS 7 to get this as long as you have the latest version for your device (6.1.3, 6.1.4) you're ready to go, and this does NOT void your warranty with Apple.
To start off, back up your device, and download the latest version of iTunes which is iTunes 11.1 Beta 2 (Mac Only). Next I want you to download your .ipsw in the background because this is probably the longest step depending on your internet connection, but I only linked the fastest links below so you should have it within half an hour, and for those of you that are new to this, this is the actual file that contains iOS 7 GM. If you're on Windows you will have to extract the .ipsw and to do so click here for a video to show you how and then come back to this guide.
So now that you have downloaded the .ipsw, and backed up your device, launch iTunes and hold either the Option key if you're on Mac or Shift key if you're on Windows and locate that big file that you just downloaded, the .ipsw. Now just click yes, ok, or accept and now it's all in iTunes hands. Just stick around for about 30 seconds and you will see you iDevice go to a black screen, an old iTunes logo will pop up with the sync cable, and then you will see a more slimmer Apple device and when you see that you know, you have done it correctly!
