No idea what their policy is. But I don’t recall many, if any, releases on a Friday.
There have been a few. But pre-iOS 7 era. Where things were a lot less complicated.
I think we can reason from the relatively few Friday releases that this is, in fact, Apple's policy. I agree with those who say that Apple does care if a beta messes up many thousands of devices over a weekend. It might just be that they don’t want the aggravation, or they don’t want the bad press or they genuinely care about their customers' and developers' experiences, even in a beta. Take your pick, but the evidence is there.
Someone needs to make a calendar of release dates. I’ll bet it would get a ton of hits.
It's hard because a lot of websites, even macrumors didn't track every single beta during that time. Is very difficult to even find pre-iOS 4 betas.

Tomorrow is the day my friends, don't worry
Thanks for info guys, will I get notified of next beta update?
You will if you hang out here!!
If you have profile already installed, you will have the ability to download as soon as the beta is released. However, you won't get an actual notification for 5-7 days. Best to follow along here or wherever you typically get Apple news.
So when next beta is released how do I go about installing it?
ios11 is the first beta I have ever installed.
Thanks in advance
Once you see that the update is available (if you are following this thread or check Macrumors daily), it will be available as an over the air update in the Software Update section of Settings. If you have the Public Beta profile installed, you’ll have to wait until the Public Beta is released, usually a day later than the developer beta.
Thanks for explaining @Chazzle
I am on the public beta profile, any tips on getting on the developer beta? Lol
I look forward to the next beta
Really liking iOS 11 right now - the bugs of course lol
Sorry, can’t help you there. They are the same Beta though, just the developer gets access a bit earlier.Thanks for explaining @Chazzle

I'm waiting for that guy to comment now saying it's not possible because it's not how Apple usually does things etc etc. Then pull out the broken clock quote again...
Precedents are nothing more than a guide for us to guess. Operative word being 'guess'. They'll release it when it's ready to be released they don't down tools because one of them suddenly realizes "Oh no, hang on we can't release it now, we've never done that before"

Hope beta 3 is tomorrow! First time I’m looking forward to a Monday! Lol
This is Apple we are talking about, where every single thing about every single product is the subject of endless speculation, educated guesses, wild-a** guesses, wishful thinking and flat out made up stuff.
