How to get iOS 11, macOS 10.13, watchOS 4 GM Editions NOW!
If you are like me, then you probably can’t wait to get your hands on the firmware updates for your Apple products! You’re probably also paranoid about the stability and security of the OS and thus, may not have considered installing a beta update. But, worry not! The GM versions are out? A few of you might be going, “What on earth is a GM version?”. Well, GM stands for Golden Master, and it is the last beta update before the public release of the firmware. Fun Fact: the public release is the same version as the GM. Beta testers can get their hands on the final firmware a week earlier than the public. No f
air! So, I decided to get myself the GM versions. And, here is a little tutorial to help those who want to do the same.
