iOS 11.x.x Release Speculation Thread

[Chazzle]

Will you guys be doing fresh installs to the GM? Will messages in the cloud retain without a restore?

I will be and there will be no effect (I hope) on iCloud messages and they are stored in iCloud, not your backup.
Edit: I should add that I don’t have any pre iCloud message threads.

Sure, I’m just hoping nothing changes from now till GM

no to both

For the record, not only was 10.3 released the same day of last year's event, but 9.3 was released the same day as the iPhone SE event.

No, iOS 10.3 was released one week after their March 21st event, on March 27th. You're right about the year before though.

Oh never mind, I got confused because the events both fell on the same day of the month

 

[mattburley7]

we should find out the release date at the event anyway..

iPhoneArena is reporting today as well for 11.3...

What time is the event today?

 

[Chronus]

Happening right now.

 

[mattburley7]

nothing yet about when 11.3 is being released...

 

[Mefisto]

Isn’t that usually the last thing they get to in these events?

I’d sure like it if they released it today, but who knows. We’ll see.

 

[mattburley7]

new ipads are being shipped the end of the week you would think they would be loaded with 11.3 on them.

 

[Jeff Flowerday]

A few more betas certainly wouldn't hurt and I'm certain everyone will live.

 

[mattburley7]

its probably coming today why would all these articles mention it if it wasnt...

 

[digitalexplr]

The new iPad is available today and will be shipping the end of the week. What version of iOS do you think it has?

 

[Mlrollin91]

Because the articles are guessing like everyone else.

 

[mattburley7]

no mention of 11.3 at the event.. guess we will have to find out in an hour if a new beta or public release....

 

[Mlrollin91]

The new iPad is available today and will be shipping the end of the week. What version of iOS do you think it has?

11.2.6. MacOS is still in beta. MacOS ships with iOS. Especially because of iMessage in the Cloud.

iOS will not ship before macOS. Because they share features.

 

[JetBlack7]

@Mlrollin91 since MacOS released a 7th beta, does that mean iOS could receive another beta too?

Maybe. But not necessarily. But iOS won’t ship to public before macOS does.

Remember everyone. This was not a normal Apple Event.

 

[Banglazed]

Apple Store back up with new iPad 9.7" and nothing else

 

[mattburley7]

11.3 is due for some type of update we got nothing last week at all...

Either that or beta 7
