There you go, now this is even more accurate than thinkybits cos it has both beta 2 revisions
. Btw I'm using Final to mean released to public, even if it's the same as GM. Dunno if there's better nomenclature.
Looks good to me! Now you gotta post one of these every year. Should make you your own sticky thread. Only you can post in it.There you go, now this is even more accurate than thinkybits cos it has both beta 2 revisions

This is why I wanted to start a thread with the release dates, so we'd have it for posterity (and questions like this). But, no, I got shot down big by a couple of not-to-be-named here posters who said "Why do we need this, we have Thinkybits".
I honestly don't remember, was I one of them? If I was, I retract that statement.
Nope. I think it happened while you were,uh, elsewhere!
But, wow, it elicited some really strong reactions from some. You’d think I was recommending that everyone switch to Android or something!

Much better than thinkybits. Can we make this a wiki and post it here instead of another post?
That would explain why I don’t remember. Well I am definitely fond of the idea. It has my vote.

I’m going to say Tuesday based on absolutely no data.

Wow a dot matrix printer. I’ve heard of these
I'm thinking Monday, beta 4 is a total cluster F and I'm sure they've been getting peppered with the feedback. It has to be today (mostly based on me wishing lol)
Beta 5 today, based on absolutely no evidence at all, just a feeling I have
That would explain why I don’t remember. Well I am definitely fond of the idea. It has my vote.
I'll own up to being one of those naysayers. However IIRC you did not do nearly as much work on your idea as @GreyOS has done. What you had presented was to create a sticky thread that you were only going to update for iOS 12 beta releases. You weren't going to do any of the calculations that are being shown here and you weren't planning on back dating it to cover previous iOS releases. I 100% support what @GreyOS is presenting here, but what you presented wasn't nearly as thought out and that's probably why I and others didn't like it.
