I’d say DB 3 today, but PB2 next Monday. I just don’t see them rolling that out on the day before a major holiday.

Maybe...PB2 has been working pretty well for me, so I’m in no rush.

Considering how well it has been going generally and the fact that they released PB1 ahead of their stated schedule, wondering if they will move to the typical 1 day PB delay seen in the early betas earlier than normal as well?

I forgot if it was last year or the year before (I could scroll back I know) but wasn't a DB released on July 3rd? I hope for DB3 today.

I think it was last year, but a DP is different than a PB, in the sense that those installing it know what they’re doing (I am intentionally ignoring those who installed the Developer Profile despite not knowing what they’re doing) and can downgrade if needed. Many public beta users would not know how to downgrade and having this occur on what for most will be a 4 day holiday weekend, could be a problem.

Oh don't I know, I admin a FB group for beta users, and often I wonder if some people even should be installing a beta (not talking legitimate dev accounts now) because they even lack basic knowledge of their device.

I have to laugh: I kept reading your first 4 words as “Oh, I don’t know” rather than “Oh don’t I know”. Completely different meaning!

Has there ever been a longer delay between DB and PB than two work days (except for first release of PB that is)? I can’t recall, but I could be wrong.

Think there's any possibility that the Apple Card gets activated in DB3 for beta users to demo it? I know it's gotten to the point of Apple Store employees testing it, so the next logical step would be beta users.
