it has nothing to do with the build difference...
They just haven't released the final to people with the profile yet. This has happened multiple times prior.
Got a tip for us?

It's never worked like that as of recent. If the build number is the same the final beta IS the release version. Thus there is no update as it is the same build #. How its worked all of iOS10.
This is clearly differently numbered then Beta 7 for a/some reason.
If you have a beta profile it will NOT prompt for a non-beta update.
This is not that big a deal, remove the beta profile restart the phone and install 10.3 final and then reinstall the beta profile. There is no current beta to worry about anyway.

No just do a backup and then update and restore or ideally do a full restore to 10.3 and set up as new.
There was a good write-up earlier in the thread regarding the numbering scheme. But the "5" and the "a" indicate not ready for release and a version of the build. Those were simply removed for the release. So no "5" indicates ready for release. the "a" is a beta revision indicator so it was removed as well for a release product. So
14E5277a becomes 14E277. Effectively the same build but perhaps with some logging turned off of a few other beta only things removed.
Yeah i know wish beta 6 was final they messed up
[doublepost=1490637196][/doublepost]Beta 6 was so smooth final like beta 7 is back to rubbish choppy animation great apple fixes it then messes it up
nice simple update... no issues on my end! Good thing too because I didn't backup beforehand....
My simple question-should we expect any new fixes or features in the public 10.3 as compared to beta 7.
Not really other than maybe some beta logging and such could be disabled but more than likely exact same as b7 since same build.
I'm not noticing any choppiness. Beta 7 and final are equally liquid smooth for me. (iPhone 7 Plus)
same for me - my phone has been super smooth throughout the betas and final now
Got to give it a bit to do its thing. Give it some time before making that determination.
um...fixing bugs? Every new Beta iteration doesn't mean new features
What normally happens between the last beta and a release--making sure things are OK with the beta and getting ready for the public release.
Seems like it would be better to keep the same discussions in a single place.
That just means it's a full update instead of a delta (differences).
No big deal, in fact a full update replaces the entire OS image so you can (sort of) argue that it's more reliable.
Apple cannot release a "beta" with the same build number as public/final. This is why the last beta of an incremental (10.X) update generally can't update to the public version -- they're the same. However, that doesn't mean the public/final version is any different than the final beta.
Does this include the new file system? Apple's release note don't say anything about it and my 7 Plus updated quickly
Yes, it does. Your device will automatically switch to APFS. I'm surprised that it's been omitted from the Release Notes.
Potentially not something they really want to bring up to typical consumers who barely know what a CPU or RAM is, let alone what a file system change would be and how it could affect them--maybe even scaring some of them away from updating because they are unsure.
