What is coming in the next build for Insiders?
As I mentioned, a new build was promised for this week. As a prediction, I think we may get build 10164 or 10166.
Release date for RTM
Microsoft is aiming to sign off on the RTM build on July 9. Perhaps, Microsoft will also release a new build for Insiders this week which raise some doubts about this date. This is just my point of view of course, but I think would make sense Microsoft release build 10164/10166 today (July 7) or later tomorrow and push the RTM on Monday July 12. According with some sources day 12 is also pointed as the RTM sign off day. However, we can't forget that Microsoft last week released 3 builds in four days, so why not release build for insiders today and RTM July 9?!
As there is no official confirmation this is just speculation.
RTM is showing up on Microsoft Database!!!
Last days Canary Ring stop receiving builds, but Microsoft Database continuous to get refreshed with new builds for various branches. There is lab branch named 'th1' which extends to Threshold 1, the codename of Windows 10. According with trust sources this branch might be related with Windows 10 RTM and it got some builds these days. In other words the RTM has been compiled and next days may get revisions (and so it's recompiled). Below is the log...

10176.16384.150705-1526 | 6th July |
