According to BGR, who have managed to get some information from one of their sources, Apple will be releasing its iOS beta 8 to developers this Friday. Sounds interesting indeed, as this could mean that the iOS 5 Gold Master build will be available around the 23rd of September.
This could mean also that manufacturers who are making the iPhone 5 for Apple will get the Gold Master version of iOS 5 shortly after the 23rd and then will have until the 5th of October to give technical acceptance to Apple.
This would also mean that the iPhone 5 could launch shortly right after the 5th of October, which matches the previous reports we have heard that the iPhone 5 will launch in early October.
