Yesterday afternoon, Apple announced to developers that it will be resetting all iCloud backup data on Thursday, September 22nd. The following message was posted on the Apple Developer boards:
On Thursday, September 22, the iCloud Backup data will be reset. Backing up to iCloud or restoring from an iCloud backup will be unavailable from 9 AM PDT – 5 PM PDT. If you attempt a backup or restore during this time, you will receive an alert that the backup or restore was not successful. After this reset, you will be unable to restore from any backup created prior to September 22. A full backup will happen automatically the next time your device backs up to iCloud.
Apple had originally warned developers that anything saved to iCloud servers might be wiped clean before the final release of iOS 5. Yesterday’s announcement from Apple is another sign that development on iOS 5 and iCloud is quickly wrapping up. Indeed, some rumors have even suggested that developers will see a release of the gold master of iOS 5 this Friday, September 23, with Apple unveiling the iPhone and iOS 5 on September 30, and launching the next iPhone on October 7.
