Releasing two BETA's per week doesn't really do anything. It only results in it being barely any builds between the releases, it's not like having a total of 9 BETA's is any worse or gives us any lesser of a GM build compared to if we had a total of 12 BETA's. We started on 17A5492t and we are currently on 17A5572a, that's 80 builds higher. In theory if Apple gave us a new BETA for every build the commit we could be at BETA 80 at this point.
Compared to iOS 12.0 we had 16A5288q for the first BETA and the last beta before GM was 16A5366a, that's a total of 78 builds. So it's not like they are moving any slower with iOS 13.0 but it just feels like the amount of bugs this time around is more substantial. I can't say it has felt this rough this close to GM since iOS 7.0.
Diff another one this week most likely in 2 daysI’m going with no Beta this week.

Nah. I reckon Either nothing until GM as we’re close now, or 1 more beta next wee. At a push, maybe a Friday release this week (it’s happened before).
Lol. No way are they releasing a beta on the Friday before a long holiday weekend here in the US. Tomorrow. Wednesday latest.
Oh you laugh? You may want to take that comment back........
There’s precedent. They did it last year.

And there was a definite reason for that. Absent such a reason, they won’t do it.
But that was a specific bug fix.
Sure, by that measure pretty much nothing can’t be ruled out and almost anything is fair game, including a beta release on the day of a company holiday.Doesn’t mean it can’t happen.....

Isn’t the holiday on the Monday? I’m not in the US so I don’t know.

yes always first Monday in September
However, it does make it much less likely a scheduled release would be on a Friday. Guessing Friday as a scheduled release is akin to putting all your chips on 00 on the roulette table. Sure, there's a chance of payoff, but it's much more likely you'll walk home sad an poor.
Tomorrow is the next beta!
But the holiday is not also the Friday, like was implied?
That’s not been the only Friday, just the easiest one I’ve found. There’s also been a beta on a Saturday before too. So, less of the mocking, from someone that’s obviously not been around for all the betas.
