Reddit guy is 4/4! Lol! I know this forum hates him, but guy is on point with the exact dates. Beta 1 and 2 dates were unpredictable by most.
When does the DB and PB normally get synced? I guess I won’t see a PB today. Well 24 hours to wait then 
Its possible they will sync up today, so maybe a 1PM PB release. But I dont think they will be in sync at the same release time until DP6/PB5.When does the DB and PB normally get synced? I guess I won’t see a PB today. Well 24 hours to wait then
Why can’t Apple realease the Public and dev beta at the same time...It is so annoying!
It’s not like you all pay the developer license too be the firsts to experiment the betas...that is just an anoying perk...

Is it stupid to upgrade from PB2 to DB4? I mean will it make the iOS even messier than it is already at its current state?
Interesting, iPad mini never had the option to update or show the size. When clicked on software update it went directly from checking for update to initializing and downloading. Never had the option to download or not and never saw the size of the download displayed. Just me?
No, its essentially the next build. PB3 will be the same at DP4. If PB3 isn't out by 1PM, you can switch profiles and go to DP releases.
I already did
My iPhone 7 is so buggy and extremely warm all the time so I can’t really wait. Downloadning the DB4 atm.
Ok so before people start posting magazine articles to try and prove me wrong am I recalling incorrectly that usually later in the beta series the Dev and PB will start dropping same day? I could be wrong but I realized this past update on the PB 2 I had the profile installed but it was not pulling the OTA update. I had to reinstall the profile again and it came through finally. Are we thinking PB 3 will drop later today or in the coming days?
LOL thats funny. You got a reply within 5 min of you question and you "already did" what you were asking if you should do before that 5 minutes. But you did fine. As @Mlrollin91 stated they are the same builds baring any earth shattering issues that require a change to the PB.I already did
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
The reason why they do this is simple.. there's a smaller developer base then normal user base. So if a beta crashes devices, causes bootloops or flat out does something crazy they can prevent the "bug or bugs" from getting out into a more open field of play. As betas get deeper into their cycle there's usually a 24 hour turn around to public.. sometimes a lot earlier like 4 hours.. really depends on what is happening. IOS 11 has the new file system, some behind the scenes enhancements that are specifically for iPhone 8 or whatever they are going to call the new phones and other misc things. So they can't just allow everyone to jump in at the same time, they have to be cautious.
There might be a shot for it to happen today, but it would be around 1PM PDT. Otherwise probably tomorrow. I think DP6/PB 5 will be 10AM in-sync releases.
You're absolutely right. People who know what they're risking know how to get on the Dev channel. Those who don't and ask why should stay to the public build.
No PB 3 today that’s annoying. Bluetooth stopped working in my car with Pb2. I know that’s the risk associated with betas but I wish they would send them out together later on in development when their just tweaks.
It's done on purpose to see if any major issue pops up. Be thankful that the developer beta serves as a testing bed before you get the (same) build that's confirmed to work without bricking your device.
PB's usually roll out on the same day closing in on the release due to the builds getting more and more stable/GM-tier.
