iCloudil has found a file in iOS that appears to identify the release date of upcoming firmware versions, reports 9to5Mac.
What we thought was a static file in iOS that correctly predicted the previous Saturday iOS 5 Beta 5 update turns out to be one that Apple can change remotely. Yesterday, it changed from Wednesday August 17th to Thursday, August 18th.
