I dont like Reddit. People of Reddit are mean just because they can be. Acting big behind a computer.
Hear, hear. I regularly have to remind myself not to even begin a conversation on Reddit because nobody on there is interested in having rational discussion and the down vote button is all too powerful.
Completely agree. I try to avoid it as much as possible, even people in Pokemon GO are vicious. I posted something, with facts to back it up, and I got hundreds of downvotes and the nastiest of comments. I was like, yeah I'm done with Reddit.
For the most part it's a cesspit but /r/Apple is at least moderated to keep the trolls down to a dull roar. It's not a hugbox but the moderators do actually consider why and who might go there (unlike a certain other site *cough cough*)

I’m currently using ios11 beta 3 on my iPad & iPhone.
Once apple release ios11 to everyone in the fall, will my devices get the update, or will I need to roll back to iOS 10 then update that way?

It should be a later build number than what you're running, and so will show up as an update once release. I usually remove the beta profile a few days before the finished build drops, otherwise you will get beta updates for 11.1 etc. On the off chance that the final release is the same build you're running, you'll just wait for another update before moving on from the beta.
11.1/11.2 will probably follow quite quickly after 11.0 drops, if not before - sometimes the public release is further ahead than the 'whole number' release. There's usually always a couple bugs that get fixed right away.
Anyone who is complaining about the pace of bug fixes, do remember that Apple's software engineering team is concerned about more than just our existing devices, as evidenced by this quote:
From https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/11/iphone-8-software-issues-causing-apple-panic/
As the prospective September launch date of the iPhone 8 fast approaches, designers and engineers at Apple are said to be working "feverishly" to fix software problems in the device that could lead to production delays, reports Fast Company.
Citing a source "knowledge of the situation," the site says there's a "sense of panic" in the air because should the problems not be resolved, the device might ship without major features enabled.

Is there some set of rules that a company must adhere to that I’m not aware of?
Disagree. Apple is the only party that has the say so about when and how they release. They’re “nice” enough to let us play in their sandbox but they don’t have to. Nor do they “have” to release hardware on schedules we want. Of course, we also don’t have to buy said hardware as a consequence.
I think PB 2 today. And hopefully WatchOS 4 beta 3,as well.

Yeah that actually is slightly concerning to me. Where in the world is watchOS.
watchOS got less betas than iOS 10.3.2 and 10.3.3.
You're asking *that* to sound smart? I knew what he was saying...and I'm betting others did too.
I would love to install watchOS beta on my device, but knowing my luck, it would brick. And I'm no longer under warranty. So I avoid it with a 10ft pole.
It isn't necessary for a company to break a set of rules to find an action by them inexcusable.

That one party has the freedom to chose their actions doesn't mean others cannot judge those actions. Weird argument.
This made me laugh. ha I think its "wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole" or "avoid it like the plaque" LOLI would love to install watchOS beta on my device, but knowing my luck, it would brick. And I'm no longer under warranty. So I avoid it with a 10ft pole.
Yeah I know, but they all mean the same thing. So why not combine it?
Get on the hype-train, new phrase!- Status
