No idea who the "reddit guy" is, but, believe it or not, Apple employees are people too. My friend is a software release manager for TvOS, WatchOS and iOS. The employees are obviously under contract, but they find creative ways to release harmless information.

So what you're saying is that you work for the software release department at Apple and that Beta 4 is dropping today ;) Gotcha

Beta 3 is a mess in terms of battery and stuttering, pls Apple focus more on That !
All betas will be a mess in terms of battery life. That is literally the last thing Apple focuses on during the beta process. That works itself out eventually, especially once you start removing all the additional beta software closer to the GM.

If anything, WatchOS may skip a beta to get back on the same release date as iOS/Mac

Agreed, but I haven't found beta 3 battery life to even be that bad. Beta 2 was horrific.

Beta 3 was horrible for me on both iPad and iPhone for 5 days then it just cleared up and went back to normal (for a beta). Been fine since.

Hey guys, iOS 11 Beta 4 will be released on Monday, July 24th according to the "Reddit Guy." Lets see if he can make it 4/4 with accurately predicting the iOS Betas. So much for a one hit wonder...
