Last beta 3 build was: 17A5522f
This beta 3 build is: 17A5522g
So, nothing too fancy, not a week of updates there.

But a coincidence nonetheless. I think Netflix updates every Monday. If Apple does the same, then they'll be on the same day. However, "correlation does not equal causation".
Which one did you have the problem with? It hasn't been a problem with my 2017 10.5" Pro.
BTW, while Public Beta 2 installed quite quickly on my 10.5" Pro, it's taking forever on my iPhone SE. This thing is definitely showing its age here. Fortunately, performance on the SE is otherwise fine for most regular usage.
On Xr. It was unusable. It took like 3 swipes to close an app or get on widgets
Does make sense, if they were going to push a new update today, why bother with yesterday
I was thinking perhaps they wanted to push out yesterday so they can get PB2 out to iPhone 7 folks and then test DB4 for a week before pushing out PB3. But maybe I'm just being hopeful lol.
Well I’m not the expert but from failing memory at this point they usually put out DB and PB within a day of each other
Should we still expect beta 4 next week? Or has the release been shifted by an additional week due to the revised beta 3 this week?
Yea Beta 4 next week, then weekly. PB3 probably be the following day from DB4. The revised DB 3 was probably just due to the issue with iPhone 7/7 Plus.
I'm surprised this made it to the public BETA release cycle. As it didn't arrive last week I figured it was deemed too buggy and unstable to release the public BETA channel. But obviously it was only due to Apple not having enough time to re-compile in order to get it working for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, hench why we got the g-compile this week which also released as public BETA.
One have to wonder what the point of having developer and public BETA's are at this point in time. I always looked at it like Microsoft's Insider Preview Fast Ring and Slow Rings. Fast Ring is meant for developers, you get delivered early builds very often so you have extra time to test and optimise your apps but you are aware that very little care goes into the builds so be aware. And Slow Ring are for eager consumers who want to test out new releases before they are publicly available, but these builds are less prone to have dealbreaking bugs as they are only pushed when a build from the Fast Ring has been deemed stable enough to reach the next ring.
Obviously Apple's BETA's are not like this because about every build no matter how buggy they are in the developer BETA still gets pushed as a public BETA.
