It‘s normal because they don‘t publish the public release on the beta branches (if they don‘t release the RC/GM to public).
I wouldn't say it's normal, because it's the first time something like this has happened that I can remember. I don't remember which subversion of ios 15 also released a build above the RC as public, and I received it as an update.
Between those two options...I'd guess tomorrow. I think next week might be more likely though.
If we had gotten 15.3 yesterday or Monday, I'd feel a little more confident at possibly seeing 15.4 this week.
The only reason I think of it as not normal is because the RC build and the release build are not the same. Otherwise, makes sense. I'll just stand pat. Hopefully 15.4 tomorrow.
I am thinking tomorrow, for the reasons I've given before. I think they need to get this one done in time for Apple's spring event in late March (most likely).
I've looked at it, and it was in the release of ios 15 when the same thing happened, publicly releasing a build superior to RC. And at that moment I received the new compilation, which I don't now. Perhaps something has changed in recent times within the beta program, but before they were received the same.
Nope. No big deal. Just delete the beta profile and then reinstall it if you want to stay on the beta program. This release is not a beta. The RC was still a beta.
There were times where they didn‘t even ship the GM/RC when it coincided with the public release. Like I‘ve been on Beta Xs that never received a GM cause they shipped it straight to public.
If it hits public it wont hit beta branches.
If you’re just gonna go onto 15.4 beta 1, then it’s optional. Up to you. It’s only 1 build up, so if you have issues with the RC, probably best to go to it.
He refers to when they released ios 15 in a stable way, right? because there I don't need to delete the profile, and I skip a small update with the new build. That's why I say that for me it would be the first time that I have to delete the profile so that I skip it. I didn't do it anyway, since I don't care about downloading an OTA of almost 6Gb or the IPSW file of 7Gb, so I did the latter and updated with iTunes.
Giving a 60% chance of 15.4 b1 landing today. If not today, then likely next Tuesday.
We’re all expecting UC to come with it. What else? Drivers licenses in Wallet is one possibility. Thoughts on anything additional?

Missed that one. Yeah, definitely a candidate.
Square is going to be very ticked off with this.
Agree, 15.3 has been excellent on my iPad and iPhone (and monterey 12.2 on my mbp). Happy across the board.
That seems like something that might not be ready until the Fall. I'm hoping they can still try cramming in all of the other iOS/iPadOS 15 features that have been delayed into 15.4Maybe this:
