Based on information I‘m having, it could very well be the case that iOS 11.1 drops next Monday - with the looming rumors about Apple Pay launching in Scandinavia next Tuesday...
Edit: That last beta has the same build as we (as financial partner) got two weeks ago...

Without iOS 11.1 you will not be able to set up Apple Pay in Scandinavia...

Don't expect 11.1 to launch next week.

If it showed up next week I'd be very surprised.
Things are getting a little mysterious, I like!
I’d personally guess another beta Monday with final released the week after.
Than the Apple Pay Lauch in Scandinavia is inaccurate...
According to french website igeneration Apple pay in Sweden should arrive next tuesday
(The 24th)
I mean, isn’t there a chance we have no more? Being that the beta that sunny has is the same as this one.
The problem:
Each country has it's own card system. Apple Pay itself is build within the core of OS (watchOS/macOS/iOS). These causes to change the core of the OS to get Apple Pay in the respective country started. It's more than a file change on the side of Apple. The news from the Swedish website just mentions a joined statement by Apple and the banks participating in Scandinavia.
It has a reason, why even small bug fix releases nowadays have five plus betas...

On the main page here, read carefully:
"Apple is gearing up to launch Apple Pay in Sweden next week, according to a report by Swedish site MacPro [Google Translate]. The site stated that the first financial partner with Apple Pay in Sweden will be the bank Nordea, and that the two companies will jointly announce the mobile wallet collaboration one week from today, on October 24."
I can only assume that when they say "launch", that they are referring to the announcement with an availability date soon after.....OEMs have done that before with other products or features.

Why exactly isn't it possible for Apple Pay to be added to another country without an iOS update? Didn't they just add it to some place recently with no update? I swear I read something about "Apple pay now available in xyz" not to long ago just on some random day. Maybe it was some new banking institution? Cant remember, but even so no OS update would be required I wouldn't think to add say Bank of XYZ.
