Still some chance for today. They have released betas on Thursdays before. Around now we should start seeing DP and PB released on the same day.
Except at around beta 4 or 5 they go to 1 week intervals typically. iOS 10 was at beta 4 and iOS 11 was at beta 5. So it was entirely possible they could have gone to 1 week intervals at the current beta is what folks were thinking. (some who do get it)I know. No one in here gets it,

So you’re saying that iOS 12 is only going to get like 6 beta releases total when tiny point releases often get more than that? They will switch to weekly or sometimes even faster releases soon.
It's the ciiiiiiircle of betas. It's the wheeeeel of fortune.
Last year's 11.0 betas for reference (correct me if any mistakes). I'm working on a little app which will have all release dates and lets me perform some calculations on them (like days between, average days, number of betas, etc. etc.).

It appears your days may have been a cross/combo of iOS 10 and iOS 11.
Hence. This. Is. Speculation. Thread.
Thanks, I'll verify the dates across a few sources before posting again. I was going by https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Timeline. Luckily only entered these dates as quick test - mostly working on the functions at the mo.
Are you going to be releasing the app on iOS, or is it just a hobby? I'm very much interested.
I think a couple devices got a new version of beta 2, a revision. But I can't remember.
Sorry, I oversold it a bit
(didn't think anyone would pay too much attention). At the mo it's just a console app for Windows. I'm doing this during my work hours because I'm bored. Certainly don't have enough spare time to make it pretty and public I'm afraid!
Shucks! I like the idea of a quick reference. The thinkybits website is cool, but not the most convenient.Sorry, I oversold it a bit
