Beta 7 has been working flawlessly for me so not as excited for another beta but welcoming any fixes.
Has Reddit guy said anything about beta 8 today?

you can't be bothered to look JUST one post above yours before posting?
Last year they sent out 8/29 (today/Monday) for the 9/7 (Wednesday after) event. So if not today or tomorrow the chance of next week is slim; likely the 12/13th.
My GUESS is they want to try hard to have it in the Steve Jobs theater being the 10th anniversary which isnt quite ready for the public. https://9to5mac.com/2017/08/24/apple-park-drone-footage-steve-jobs-theater/
I hope they fix the remaining performance problems on the iPad Pro 10.5. I will actually be rather disappointed if this is not the case, as it would already be a visible step back from iOS 10.
That will not happen before iOS 11.0.1 or even later. Read the last couple of pages for the reason.
True, but the previous shortest time between final beta and GM was 12 days (iOS10, much longer on prior x.0 releases).
So if the event is coming up on the 12th as previously rumored (and today per CNBC, Dow Jones, and WSJ; some heavy hitter names all saying the same date), beta 8 would be early to mid week this week.
So it’s looking like the exact same dates as 2012 with them sending out invites on Sept 4th and the event being on the 12th.
Nope. There will be another beta this week (probably today). Dev Beta 7 (= PB6) and Dev Beta 8 (= PB7) will technically be Beta 1 and Beta 2 for a probable close iOS 11.0.1. iOS 11.0 is technically frozen (no changes to the code) and will be seeded as GM on September 12th resp. a week later as public release and on the new devices.
They might need to send out the invites by Friday as next monday is a holiday in the USA (Labour Day)
The builds are the same just version numbers are different because devs only get the 1st one. So the 2nd dev version is the 1st public version but are the same builds. So the PB will always be one number behind as far as what its named but is technically the same build.
[Edit] Not always 1 behind as potentially devs may get like 3 versions before it goes public.

Not sure why you get so defensive when someone questions something you post. The "assumptions and speculation" statement was referring to MY post comments. But technically, you are assuming and speculating too. Unless you happen to work for Apple on the iOS team and have some insider info.
You're right, i remember that from last year. The last iOS 10 beta (also beta 8?) last year turned out to be the GM of iOS 10.0.
I don’t think there will be a new beta today, but I’ve been wrong before.
That reminds me, I have to install the profile again since I did a fresh restore to Beta 7, lol

Don't think so. The last beta PB7/DP8 was build 14A5346a and the GM was build 14A403. It was a weird one because GM 10.0 was actually 10.0.1 and the 10.0.1 had a beta that was 14A5403a (same build but beta versioning number with the "5" and the "a")
HomePod's firmware that was leaked was 11.0.2, so it's possible we may end up with a weird release number this year too.
