Probably mid-late March. 10.3 was March 27, 11.3 was March 29.
That makes sense and ties in with the semi-substantiated March Apple event.
Coincidence?

Probably as I suspect AirPods 2 will be announced then too...
Pretty sure AirPods 2 is now rumored for second half of 2019, and only the wireless case is rumored for March. Unless it has changed again in the last week, haven't checked.Probably as I suspect AirPods 2 will be announced then too...
Yeah. Ming Chi Kuo says first half of the year. Since code is in 12.2, makes sense.
I still don’t like that argument. Considering AirPower has been in the code for over a year. If it was coming in March, we would have production leaks by now.
I would assume so. March begins next week, so that would make sense in getting something out by the supposed March event on the 25th.
I'm going to disagree here. Everything points to their arrival. The AirPower code is probably a bad example as that was intended to ship a year ago, hence its inclusion then.
And that’s fine, you can disagree, just like I disagree with the a couple rumors that have been changing bi-weekly for the last 6 months. I think it being in the code means nothing in terms of release being imminent. To me, That’s like looking to Apple’s patents to see what their future products will offer.
If they come out next month great, but you’re placing a lot of faith in little support.
Other than Ming Chi Kuo's track record, which is superb.
You’re not following my point. He alone has changed his prediction a half dozen times. That’s the point I’m making. Not even he is as certain as he normally is.
“AirPods 2” and “Wireless Charging Case” are not one of the same.
I'll kick off this week's speculation and say that b4 will start weekly updates and will be tomorrow or Tuesday.
I'd like to see beta 4 today or tomorrow, with some speed optimisation for the 8. The 7 feels more fluid than the 8 now. It is all about the speed of animations, that's it. That wicked fast feeling is gone on the 8, but remains on the 7. Every time I use the 7 to install the latest beta, I feel I should replace my 8 with the 7 for a daily driver.
Also: Could it be that the 8 is 64GB with 48GB used? Could that be causing the slowdown I feel coming from the 128GB 7, which is just about 30GB full out of 128?

Sadly today still feels a bit soon to me for another beta. Though it’d be a nice surprise.
I do remember reading something about how higher GB phones had different NAND logic (for lack of a better term) and hence would(could?) bench mark faster. That would be splitting hairs though.

Edit:
I think the same applies to the iPads. You would need to search for that though ...
Apple's way of convincing the spec centered folks get the biggest/fastest
