We've just witnessed some of the great announcements Apple has 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 arriving to the Apple Watch, there's a new Apple Watch Series 2 smartwatch that's swimproof, and last but not least, there are the 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.

iOS 10 available to public on September 13, macOS Sierra on September 20

So right now you're probably wondering when you'll be able to upgrade to the new iOS 10 or macOS 10.12 Sierra operating systems on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or iMac devices, respectively, as well as to watchOS 3 on Apple Watch Series 1 and tvOS 10 on Apple TVs. Well, we can tell you that September 13 is set as the launch date for iOS 10, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10, and September 20 for macOS Sierra.

All these new versions of Apple's operating systems bring a tremendous number of new features and improvements to make your iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, or Apple TV experience much pleasing and, of course, more productive.
