iOS 14 Release Speculation

[TheSkywalker77]

My speculation is Tuesday we'll get iOS 14 dev beta 3 and watchOS dev beta 3. Then on Wednesday we'll get the public beta versions for both.

Side note, I know this is an iOS speculation thread, but since the watch is so closely tied to the iPhone I feel it's appropriate to put some watchOS speculations in here too. If you feel that'd get too off-topic then just say something.

Isn't the current public beta already labeled as public beta 2?

so was Dev Beta 2 for some people. Seems just a labelling cock up.

I hope Apple just unifies them with the same number since its the same build.

Installed iOS and iPadOS 14, is it wise to install Big Sur as well?

It would be factually incorrect though.

I did..... ?

Oops my bad I didn’t even check the thread title, I was just trying to help. Will delete!

We’ve all done it, so no worries. I don’t pipe up unless it runs several posts.

My guess is tomorrow, this month has gone quite fast

I would say just after 10am Cupertino time on Tuesday, so that's like 3am Wednesday in Sydney, if I worked it out right! Mondays have happened, but commonly it's Tuesday. ☺️

Hopefully new beta (DP3) drops in 2 and 1/2 hrs from now.

I think it won’t be until tomorrow, but will be pleasantly surprised if it comes out today.

Yea, tomorrow is more likely. I’m 98% certain of it. Looking online, all the usual suspects that also get it right, are saying 21st July (just after 10am Cupertino time).

 

[Kylo83]

If they keep the 2 week cycle at least then it would have to be at least tomorrow but who knows

I feel like it'll be tomorrow, so they can leave Wednesday for the public betas.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Rather surprised we didn’t see a new beta today.

Yes — iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS Bug Sur, tvOS 14, watchOS 7 were all released on June 22, 2020 on a Monday afternoon after the WWDC 2020 keynote. These software became available at around 2:00 PM PT or 5:00 AM UTC.

In all likelihood, the third beta of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 still could be released today. If not—I suspect it will available next week on Monday. It could still likely happen this Wednesday or Thursday though, on rare occasions Friday as well. But never on a Tuesday.

Hopefully... they will add the long-awaited Clock app widget. It would also be spectacular if they added the new macOS Big Sur wallpaper, indubitably!

Why? The last 2-3 years have had Beta 3 on the 2nd Tuesday after Beta 2.

Beta 1’s are always a Monday though. Most later Betas are Tuesdays, with the odd Wednesday releases

I see I am not hardcore enough. I did not know that.

Sadly I’ve been on the beta train since iPhoneOS 2.0?

Never on a Tuesday? This some sort of reverse psychology play? I would wager that Tuesday outnumbers the other days by a very wide margin.

Yeah, it’s usually released every other Tuesday, and then every week when it’s late in the release cycle.
