Apple Store App Compatibility Update Indicates iOS 6 Is Coming Soon
Well folks, iOS 6 will be released soon. Apple has updated their Apple Store application minutes ago with the description “iOS compatibility update.” It has been months since we last saw an update to iOS 5; allowing us to assume this is for a final release of iOS 6
Looking back at history, iOS 5 was released a week after the iPhone 4S announcement, also two days prior to the iPhone release. The question this year is will Apple release iOS 6 before the event? I find the situation very unlikely, the update likely correlates with a release promptly after the keynote.
Apple will hold the ‘iPhone 5’ event next Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. The next-generation iPhone is forecasted to launch with iOS 6; contributing to the fact the Apple Store application received a iOS compatibility update.
The application update also indicates that Apple has their iOS 6 GM update prepared to seed to developers. The GM update is usually Apple’s last update to iOS beta.
Thoughts?

Draw Something also had an update with ios 6 capability
Many apps have updated with iOS 6 compatibility so far, this is significant because the Apple Store app is owned by Apple. It shows they are preparing for a release.
Pretty obvious that iOS6 is about to be released… I reckon the announcement on the 12th will go something like this: “iOS6 will go live tomorrow (13th), and here’s the iPhone 5 and new iPod range to go with it! (available for pre-order today, released in 2 weeks)”
You never know, Apple could announce the iPhone 5 on Sept 12th and release it October 5th. This clues us a release is coming within 2 weeks at the latest.
