Apple today plans to unleash the seventh beta of iOS 7 to developers, according to the same source which somewhat accurately predicted the premature launch of iOS 7 Beta 6.

BGR is told by its trusty sources that “Apple has once again seeded a new build of iOS 7 to partners, and that it should be released to developers later today.”

iOS 7 Beta 7 carries a much higher build number than previous betas, and is likely to arrive via OTA and the iOS Dev Center no later than 1:00 p.m. EDT (the usual schedule), BGR is told.

The same sources also say that iOS 7 Beta 7 should be the final beta ahead of the planned Gold Master (GM) release next week.

The final (public) version of iOS 7 is expected to make its debut alongside new iPhone hardware on September 10.
