Would have loved to get a "push" notification from AAPL regarding this..

Seems like Apple is no longer signing the iOS 5.1.1 ipsw - this is ridiculous..I was hoping on downgrading to iOS5 before hawking my 4S to Google Maps grovelers.

On another note..I cannot restore to my iOS6 (beta) backup with the real iOS6..thanks Apple!

If you managed to miss the iOS 6/iPhone 5 announcement, a push notification wouldn't have helped. Also, this is standard practice, happens every year, and is mentioned in the dev notes before you download the beta.

Or standard practice and mentioned in the developer notes when you download the beta...

You're mad that there was a bug in a developer-only beta? Did you ever stop to consider that if you're going to sarcastically chide Apple over a beta issue, maybe you aren't the type to be running betas?
