Two years ago they released the PB just prior to July 4th.

I only remember because I was so excited to try out new mapping features on a very long drive I was taking prior to the holiday.

Did a bit of digging... last three public beta release dates were:

iOS10 public beta July 7th
iOS11 public beta June 26th
iOS12 public beta June 25th.

My guess is that Apple specifically mentioned the July time-frame in order to set expectations. The week of the 8th is easily the most likely release window.
 
LOL. If I had a dollar (or a quid) for every time someone has used past history as a guide, I'd be a very wealthy person now! We'll know shortly, if the usual sources get released from their embargoes.
I know past history isn't everything and things always change but never has a beta 3 come a week after beta 2 for a major iOS release it just doesn't happen
 
It’s called a speculation thread for a reason.... we speculate
but you speculate on past experiences and what's logical, and I'm stating beta 3 off a major release never comes out a week later so there's no chance
 
There’s always a chance. Just because they did something in previous years doesn’t mean they’ll do it again.

Next week is the 4th of July holiday in the US. If they release a beta that Monday or Tuesday there will be no one at corporate for many days later. If I were them I’d release this week and skip next.
