You mean because he is 1/1 with iOS 11 betas? Thats proven-accurate? Remember he was wrong about Theater Mode....

You are correct, but that was a GM, not a beta.
Got a tip for us?

the 'source' was correct just one time now...let's not start calling him Mark Felt just quite yet...
It’s weird you think Apple could have a release ready for testers and they would just decide to delay it for half a week cause it’s a X.0 release and it’s Thursday.
They will release builds whenever they please to.
It's dropping today .... I should know, I'm in charge of pressing the big red button that says "Drop it today"
Well, to be fair, he was also right on the release date for 10.3. Also, where/how was he wrong about Theater Mode?
He said Jan. 10th. That was beyond wrong. If you are talking about final release date, thats not that impressive.
Hm, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe madscotsman35 and Sonny Dickson to be two completely different persons? Can you link to his statement that Theater Mode was supposed to drop on January 10th?
Please don't lecture me on the rules of the beta. I am fully aware. I am also fully aware that many, many people install the betas on primary hardware. Apple is also aware of this and is likely not going to chance having to field a gazillion phone calls on Saturday and Sunday from people who installed a borked beta.
I'm relaying a statement someone else posted here. If its wrong, thats on me for not verifying, but the fact of the matter is 1/1 is not a proven-accurate track record. I have said this like 5 times, so I will repeat. A broken clock is still right twice a day.
Edit: Its entirely on me, I misread something yesterday about the whole theater mode, it was being used as an example. But my point still stands. 1/1 doesn't make you proven-accurate.

My guess is one of 2 things: it will either come out today, or it will not.
100% chance I am right!
100% chance I am right!
Sure, I'm skeptical too, but you cannot simplify by saying (s)he/'s been right 1 out of 1 times, when (s)he betted on a random day in the future for the last beta, which was also a Wednesday (which isn't very usual), and happened to be right. Maybe (s)he got very lucky that time, and lucky yesterday when it didn't dropped, and lucky today(?) as well. You can say 1/1 if it was a 50/50 chance of being right. That wasn't the case. Maybe s(he)'s a hoax. Maybe not. I hope (s)he is, and that it drops today, but hoping doesn't make it so.
A month since the original devices got the beta... wow. CRAZY.
But whats your point? Its only been 15 days since Beta 2. You made it sound like we have not had a beta in a month.
Right. But we're on beta 2 and on the cusp of beta 3. Not sure what being a month in portends. Seems like we're about where we should be.
