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
Apple and it's mysterious ways.
I wish the animations are made slightly faster on the 8 to be on par with the 7. The difference is noticeable to me each time I navigate the 7. It feels more fluid than my 8 now. At a point in time, the 8 felt what the 7 feels now.
I’d say it’s unlikely. We’ll likely see iOS 12.2 at the end of March. Maybe a 12.3 beta will launch then which put its release right around WWDC in early June. Or, instead of 12.3, we see 12.2.1.
The wildcards are Apple’s rumored new subscription services - magazines / newspapers and TV: whether they will require new iOS versions (like Apple Music did) and whether they become publicly available before mid September (I.e., iOS 13).
I think we see beta 4 today and weekly for the duration. That would get us to 7 betas ahead of the March 25 "event", with beta 7 being identical to the release version (if its ok).
Thing is, I don't see a post from any of the usual outlets saying there'll be a new beta coming today. They usually post before one lands.
Plan B is that we don't see the next beta til next week and then weekly after that. Still gives 6 betas
It's been happening somewhat more frequently recently, but I'm not sure it's really in the "usually" category necessarily, at least in the sense that a release wouldn't/couldn't come out without there being some article about it ahead of time.

Is beta 3 not working well for you? What's the rush?Well…this kinda stinks.
It’s really pretty great and I get your point (although I am having some minor memory management and crashing issues); I was mostly just hoping that we’d be on a weekly release schedule by yesterday or today.
Sort of doubt it will be since so many major changes apparently are in the pipeline, but we'll see, I guess.
If they can manage to merge the best of iOS 7 (fresh coat of paint) and iOS 12 (stability) into iOS 13, then I think it could be solid.
I mean, technically all versions of iOS have brought new features.
Yes. Take the best of both feature additions and stability improvements and put that into a new release. I'd say this is unlikely, but we can certainly hope.
Of course, but rumors has it that iOS13 will be major changes while I see iOS12 as minor features.I mean, technically all versions of iOS have brought new features.
