Bug free? Sarcasm, I'm assuming. It's impossible for any company to release bug free software.
Got a tip for us?

Bug free OS is theoretically and physically impossible. Instead of bugs they’re gonna make it stable and add new features because its waste of time to make a software that’s bug free
iOS 9.3 and 10.3 were released the end of march if that means anything...
Beta 4's going on past history don't tend to last long, there is a slim possibility we could get another release today or tomorrow but most likely Monday.
Define past history. Beta 4 of all major iOS versions have ranged from 2-44 days.
http://www.thinkybits.com/blog/iOS-versions/
Average is 11.7 days.
Apple says Spring release from March to June but news outlet say late March only based on past history. However, nothing is ever concrete since we’re only on beta 4 with unknown numbers of betas for 13.1. We’ll get a better picture at the end of the beta cycle when the build number ends XXXXXa.
Any time the build number contains a 5 after the the first letter or ends with any small letter it’s not ready for public.
It will come out between March 20 and June 22.
I thought that i’ve downloaded a public beta
FYI the build no. is 15E5201e
Yes. What Mlrollin91 meant was it is not ready for the broader public, think like people who don‘t knowingly and willingly sign up for a beta version.
Public means official release. Not public beta.
If this beta was the final build, it would read 15E201.
I willingly signed up for it but i don’t know much about betas. Im new to thisYes. What Mlrollin91 meant was it is not ready for the broader public, think like people who don‘t knowingly and willingly sign up for a beta version.
Honest question: Why did you sign up? For me, it‘s the willingness to bite the bullet for the broader public in terms of bug finding and reporting. And to get the new features as soon as possible, that is
I do report bugs but not that often and also I can’t contain myself when i see that I can get new features soonHonest question: Why did you sign up? For me, it‘s the willingness to bite the bullet for the broader public in terms of bug finding and reporting. And to get the new features as soon as possible, that is
I know the fact that I ignored all the drawbacks of this and i regret it now
I believe the roadmap might look like this:
~March 13: beta 5
~March 20: beta 6
~March 27: beta 7 (GM)
~April 3: 11.3 official release
~March 13: beta 5
~March 20: beta 6
~March 27: beta 7 (GM)
~April 3: 11.3 official release
What exactly? Does something not work for you? (If so, use the Feedback app, others might be experiencing the same!) If you wish to leave the beta, delete the Beta profile from your Settings and when 11.3 is officially released you‘ll be back on the stable release wagon.
Soo late you gotta be kidding me

Yeah I deleted the beta profile but the battery life in beta is so less and it gets hot when I fast charge it wirelessly
April 3rd is barely 15 days into Spring. Given Apple's newfound determination to lick bugs, it would not surprise me if the public [i.e., final] release isn't closer to May 1.
You can go back, you know. Lots of guidance in these forums on how to do so.
This is interesting. I have been doing the beta thing for years and never really noticed this before. (The number 5 part, not the date part
)[doublepost=1520635815][/doublepost]
I don't know what iPhone you're using, but if you head to Google and search for "iPhone (insert model here) 11.2.6 IPSW" you'll come across a link or two from IPSW.me I think it is and it will have the links to download it directly from Apple. Make sure you download the correct IPSW for your phone (the iPhone X only has one which is Global). You can then head into iTunes, hold down the option key and click restore, select that IPSW and it'll do it's thing. Make sure you have a backup FROM 11.2.6 on your iCloud account as it won't restore anything newer to a previous iOS version. Also, it will ask you to turn off Find My iPhone before it can restore. So there's that too.
The only reason I'm sending you to Google as opposed to trying to do it through iTunes to download from Apple is that every time I have tried to do this in the past 3 months from Apple, I get and error "Resource not found".
3 more months until we get iOS 12 Beta 1! Now, I’m excited about that! June 5th coming soon. Hopefully it isn’t tooooo buggy. The iOS 11 betas were bad and it really didn’t get better until 11.2, and that was in December. So from June to December, iOS 11 was buggy as hell.
At this point we should focus on iOS 11 getting better because there are still 3 months away from iOS 12 first developer beta...
What are the betts for this week? Tomorrow sounds good for me
What are the betts for this week? Tomorrow sounds good for me
I'd say good bet today or tomorrow IF Apple is following its past pattern of shortening the gap between beta releases as it has for past betas at this stage. However, I would also not be surprised to see it staying at 2 weeks (and, thus, a release next week instead) given their apparent new intention to squash bugs. If I were to lay a wager on it, though, I'd say this week and, most likely, on Tuesday.
