It's the same type of post some users make in many instances. Kind of like flipping a coin basically and posting a prediction like it's a given.
It's also kind of like the "new Mac Mini is coming" thread... if you say something often enough, sooner or later you'll be right. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally.
Apple did say “early next week” if I’m not mistaken so it could be Monday Tuesday or Wednesday at most
Seems like it was simply next week: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/01/18/apple-malicious-link-fix-ios-11-2-5/
Wow. This thread has degraded to a debate on time designations. Sheesh...
Yeah I’m not objecting or questioning it at all. Just interested in the distinctions.
In the US? I am positive. Just because a site is "trustworthy" doesn't mean it's legal.
Final releases are not subject to Apple’s developer’s terms and conditions. There are copyright and trademark issues at play and it is illegal for anyone to provide the developer profile or .ipsw for beta versions.
With that being said. It’s still illegal for final release versions to be available from a non-Apple site. That’s illegal distribution. But because it’s “freeware” Apple doesn’t worry about it because they have more important things to deal with. Also, because you don’t accept the terms and conditions until you install the update on the device or iTunes. If you had to agree to the terms and conditions of iOS before downloading directly from Apple, then Apple would seek legal action. I can name dozens of cases of similar issues going back 20 years.
This attitude was evidenced by the signing of the leaked iOS a few months back on non developer accounts
Oh that is a bummer, I could have sworn they said “early next week”, hopefully we see the update drop sooner than later this week, it sure is a much needed update for the mess that is iOS11
Experience? Beta 6 and 7 got released one after the other. They don´t do this just for fun. And look at the date the article got published.
Several? A few tens. Tuesday sometimes, sometimes Thursday. On Fridays for security flaws and as we learned recently on Saturdays also.

You call it experience, i call it conjecture. When you bold something, that indicates rock solid which your information isn't. It may end up being accurate but that will be luck, not inside info.
10.3.3 was released on Wednesday after beta testing. 11.1 was released on Tuesday. 11.2 was released on Saturday due to the time bug but was probably intended to be released on Monday since that's when Apple Pay Cash was activated.
It's really anyone's guess.
It's really anyone's guess.
What do you think 90% of us do here, in a speculation thread?
I`m an Apple User since 2008 after sometime you know, more or less, when Finals and or Betas drop.
Conjecture! You nailed it!
the iMessage bug is kinda a big deal... see no pointing in waiting till tomorrow or any other day of the week plus we have the release candidate which is pretty much the final version that everyone will get, so its not like it isnt ready for release today.
This is a speculation thread, and conjecture and speculation are synonyms.
