iOS 11.x.x Release Speculation Thread

[iOS Brooks]

Was beta 6 the final build? Or is this a new build. Just trying to figure out if I should remove my profile to download the newest build.

New build

So its out for everything, including the HomePod but nothing for macOS? Strange.

Sometimes, it is release either 1pm or the following day

I thought the same, especially since they're rolling out iCloud messages. I bet we see MacOS release later today or tomorrow though.

Guess this 295 page thread is about to be shutdown forever. Been quite the ride folks. See you guys in the "12.x.x release speculation" thread. [Coming soon at a MR forum near you]

I need to copyright that!

Same here. My wife’s phone updated and my sons. But my two devices will not.

The profile is only for beta pre-released software which this is not a beta but a public official release. Remove profile, restart to take effect and update as usual

Delete the profile and reboot!!!

Wonder why no MacOS? Especially with Messages being the cloud. Kind of important.

I guess it'll probably release later today or tomorrow. 11.4 does work with the latest 10.13.5 beta though, just tested this after updating my iPhone.

iMessages in iCloud is not working with watchOS with the latest update 4.3.1.

Pretty sure iMessage in the cloud doesnt work with watchOS. From WWDC it was macOS and iOS only.

That sucks!

Its because its not technically an iCloud device. It doesn't sync with iCloud, merely gets information from the iPhone.

I wish it did, I'm so sick of deleting watch message threads. If its deleted on the phone, it should be deleted from the watch.

Exactly how I feel. I scroll through the messages on my watch and they are so old.

Now bring on the iOS 12 beta.

I'd be ok if it mirrored the phone: delete on the phone and its gone from Watch, too.

Interesting, You gonna have to note this in your notes that "only once has MacOS not dropped with iOS" Another Apple out of norm for the year. I guess Messages will still show up on Mac like always? Just not be in sync until the release?

This isn't what I meant when "not dropped with iOS". Only once has there not been a macOS update to go along with an iOS update as in a X.x major point release. macOS usually gets more X.x releases than iOS. So that would only work if there was no 10.13.5 in existence at all. This is just delayed, probably will be released in the next 5 minutes (1PM PDT) or tomorrow.

(The one time was iOS 8.4. There was no additional macOS build as only iTunes needed an update for Apple Music).

Ah ok. I thought it had never happened before. (I dont use mac so no idea other than what I read) Looks like tomorrow huh? Not seeing anything posted about it yet.

Yep, appears to be tomorrow. Lately macOS has been trailing iOS by a day, but I figured with both needing to be out to take advantage of Messages, they would drop together.

iOS 11 is been fun but iOS 12 will be on our devices in 6 days! Beta 1 can’t be worse than iOS 11, right? Lol.

It most definitely can be worse.
