Public beta next week, developer beta 2 in 40 minutes I think.

The reason the Public Beta lags behind the Dev Beta is generally to hold off in case there's any major show stopping type bugs. Once any issues with the Dev Beta are fixed, that's what's usually released as the Public Beta, and why they usually have the same build number. Considering how stable beta 1 was, and if beta 2 sticks to that form, I'd assume a public beta this week. Maybe even as soon as tomorrow.

I think it would be great as a reference resource.

Assuming we can pinpoint the WWDC Keynote each year (for a starting point), this is also somewhat useful.

I was going to suggest that, but between getting each WWDC date, you’d also need to work out each date on the scale.

Maybe Public Beta today? :)

Nah not today. At best, tomorrow.

Gotcha, I thought PB releases when Beta 2 hits for developers? PB is always one beta behind I thought?

If they do release the PB along side DB 2 they'll likely wait a day or two to make sure the DB isn't bricking anyone's phones and there aren't any bugs that are making the phone unusable. But if everything goes well, we might see the PB tomorrow.

Wasn’t the first public beta a day after the 2nd Dev Beta, before moving to same day later on in the releases? Or am I having a brain fart.

Last year it was a week after the 2nd beta, but the same build as 2nd beta.

It's only behind in the Beta release number but the actual build is typically the same, with some (rare) exceptions. Example, DB2=PB1 but the build is the same.

It would be great if they updated the icons in beta 2 to match macOS 11 - just for consistency.

I wouldn't be surprised to see at least some tweaks of some sort. I think it was iOS 11(?) where icon tweaks started in like the second beta and something was different/redone/reverted almost every beta that followed during that summer.
