iOS 11.x.x Release Speculation Thread

[Jayderek]

It was expected to have issues so I have no problem dealing with it, but my beta 1 has seemingly gotten worse as the days progressed. I am seeing certain issues today that I wasn't seeing day 1, which is new for me. Either way, happy with iOS 11, just hoping a new beta drops today.

ah damn. Hopefully it settles down for you some and gets a bit more stable.

I know a lot of people assume it'll be another week yet, but I'm hoping for Beta 2 today (or tomorrow) as well. The releases throughout iOS 10 betas seemed to break a lot of 'rules' - so maybe that will happen here

Beta 2 next week.

i don't think.

 

[Xenthox]

Dear God, pls beta 2 today, im begging

 

[stulaw11]

100% unlikely. Apple said late June , NOT early July .

Nothing is 100%. Apple has broken all of the beta rules/trends over the past year or so that they once stuck too.

It is a real possibility that they could delay the PB a week if there are enough bugs. Beta 1 is VERY rough in the basics still; TONS of graphical glitches and really obvious bugs.

Just because they said a rough time frame does not mean it cannot be pushed back a few days into the first week of July after a DP3. If it's not ready it's not ready.

I dont think it's likely to be delayed, Im still sticking to next Tues DP2 and Wed PB1, but it could and surely not 100% it wont.

They can't release a PB in anywhere near the state DP1 is in; so either they need more tie for DP2 into next week and try to squash the bulk of the major issues, or delay the PB after a DP3 and release DP2 this week to find further major bugs before then.

Can someone explain to me why they don't think it will be today/tomorrow? The schedule history has shown that DP2 has always arrived around 2 weeks after WWDC

Kind of where my head is also, but people are looking at the "PB1 by end of June" as the reason for the speculation. Most times Apple has released the PB1 the day after DB2. If that were the case, today wouldn't be "late June", so many feel that it makes more sense to come next Monday with the PB1 coming soon after. It's ultimately all up to Apple on how they want to play this. I think we could see DB2 today and DB3 next week followed by PB1. Then every two weeks after that. Who knows though, wishful thinking.

Not a chance. If there was a chance they never would have said June.

There's a chance... If they encounter a show stopper bug that delays the Dev beta they would....

As I said I hope not but gotta play devil's advocate!

Is it usually Mondays or Tuesdays for a new OS beta 2 a fortnight after WWDC?

Is it usually Mondays or Tuesdays for a new OS beta 2 a fortnight after WWDC?

In the past, it’s usually been Tuesday releases, after the initial Beta 1 on a Monday.

 

[Deeznuts.]

If Apple uses the same beta cycle as last year.
Beta 2: June 27
PB 1: June 29

 

[t0mat0]

So tomorrow June 20th. Thanks

 

[madara889]

Today..??
Lets hope

Last year screwed up everyone's release calendars. Prior to last year, the average time between b1 and b2 of a .0 release was 14-15 days. Last year we went 3 weeks and the PB came out a few days later.

I'm going with a b2 of the 26th and the PB around the 28th (+/- a day on either beta).

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if we see a beta today. But I'm not expecting one.

 

[jonbravo77]

If the cycle holds up I belive it’s on a Monday and usually at 10am PST. But really at this point it’s anyone’s guess.

Hoping today.

 

[AppleFan91]

I really think it'll be next week. 10.3.3 this week and 11b2 next week to hit the public beta date of "end of June". My guess is next Monday for Beta 2 and if all goes smoothly then Public Beta on Tuesday. That gives them 3 weeks of DB1 before PB1 drops.

 

[sniffies]

As much as I desperately WANT beta 2 today or tomorrow, I have a feeling, it won't drop until next week.

I know it's a beta, but beta 1 is soooooooooooo buggy...

10.3.3 already dropped last week bud.

 

[Mlrollin91]

10.3.3 already dropped last week bud.

Um no it didn't, that was beta 3.

 

[Dwalls90]

Um no it didn't, that was beta 3.

Additionally, iOS 10.3.2 and 9.3.3 both had 5 betas. I'd be surprised if we saw a Public release of 10.3.3 this week, but again, Apple can deviate as they see fit.

 

[uandme72]

Um no it didn't, that was beta 3.

10.3.3 Beta 3 has been excellent.

 

[SumYoungGai]

10.3.3 Beta 3 has been excellent.

probably because it's the result of just over a year of development.

 

[Math889]

iOS 11 beta 2 Just next week . No beta this week .

 

[Xenthox]

Dont give up your Hopes my Friends. 48 min Til Beta 2

 

[naasrd]

Dont give up your Hopes my Friends. 48 min Til Beta 2

That's where my money is.

 

[AbSoluTc]

Yes it did. It’s in my beta list. I see you’re referring to final. May want to refrain from mentioning finals in a beta thread.
