A post from the staff of Chinese forum WeiPhone.com claims to share a host of official Apple download links for tomorrow's software releases. Currently these links aren't active, but they suggest that they include an iOS 6 beta build under 10A5316k for a variety of devices, as well as a developer preview of Safari 6 for OS X Lion.
This claim cannot be verified at this time due to the links not pointing to the suggested files yet, but clicking the links does take users to an error page stating "Your session has expired." Altering the URLs to reference a different build number or making other changes brings up an "Access denied" error message, suggesting that there is a certain sense of validity about the leaked URLS.
A similar list of links addressing last year's downloads also leaked out just before Apple's WWDC 2011 keynote. The full list of links includes:
Third-generation iPad
- Consumer: Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi + Cellular (GSM), WiFi + Cellular (CDMA)
- Enterprise: Wi-Fi, WiFi + Cellular (GSM), WiFi + Cellular (CDMA)
iPad 2
- Consumer: Wi-Fi, WiFi + 3G (GSM), WiFi + 3G (CDMA), Revised Wi-Fi
- Enterprise: Wi-Fi, WiFi + 3G (GSM), WiFi + 3G (CDMA), Revised Wi-Fi
iPhone
iPod touch
- Consumer: 4th Generation
- Enterprise: 4th Generation
Apple TV
- Consumer: 2nd Generation, 3rd Generation
Other iOS
Safari 6
- Consumer: Safari 6 Developer Preview for Lion, Uninstaller
From what we can see from the list, Apple will be dropping iOS support for the original iPad and the third-generation iPod Touch with the release of iOS 6.
