Technically there have been 4 releases; the Update 1 before PB. Either way, some pretty spot 100% dates with the randomness the releases have been.


I agree there are just a bunch here with the personality of a basement dweller who equally think commenting "first" on every Youtube video is "cool." I imagine it with their little creepy giggle.

No one has any info or methodology, period. Just random guessing; even a broken clock is right twice a day. The only person will some semblance of insider info seems to be the "reddit guy."

Look at the last 10 years of iOS beta cycles. Only 10.0 had betas less than a week. And only a couple betas throughout the 10 years have been less than 2 weeks. I am strictly talking X.0 builds.

We cannot use iOS 10 as an example for iOS 11, iOS 10 is the exception of a 10 year old rule.

Are you saying Apple doesn’t change?
There shouldn’t be Public Betas then?

I’m not saying there will or will not be a beta this week but I’m not that sure about history based predictions... it’s been a couple time where I’ve read your comments and wanted to say this :)
Obviously I like to read and take part in speculation but I think we can factor in last year a bit more than what it is right now.

What does public betas have to do with 10 years of history? We have 10 years of iOS history to show the pattern of Apple's X.0 betas. There is only 1 year that it deviates from the history. That makes that one year (iOS 10) the exception, not the rule.

Well public betas shows change and evolution in the way they see things on a development basis. It means nothing other than change happens and that of course we can look at history but also that last year is part of the history

But PB has been available for 3 years now. Even PB being available that long is more than just last year of iOS beta history. I'm not saying the rule cannot change in the future. But as of now, we have an established rule that has been followed 9/10 years. If the next 2-3 years follow iOS 10, then the rule is changing, but as of now, its still following iOS 2-9, not iOS 10.

Lots of app updates the last few days. Usually indicative of an incoming Beta. Guess we'll see.

No way because developers don't know from Apple when the next beta will come to be sure they get their apps updated, so your theory is wrong...

Could we see default app options in iOS 11? I saw someone have those options available on their iPhone recently, but I think it was a jailbroken phone.

Hopefully beta 5 fixes the heat issue as well as battery issues. Been tempted to downgrade back to iOS 10 but I’m just waiting to see how the update is.

One of the only few new features we need in iOS 11 tbh. Maybe it could come in with the iPhone 8, but I have my hopes up right there.

It wouldn't come with a new device, its something that would be in iOS and go through the beta process for testing. Typically new iPhone software is because of new hardware. Like Siri for the 4s and so on. iPhone 8 could be a potential dark mode with OLED display.
