By the same token, the fact that they re-issued a DB in prep of a PB isn't the usual process either. Not saying it hasn't happened before, but for the most part DB have usually been the same build as PB - just released a little later.
Apple have done a lot over the years to "switch things up" when it comes to releasing Beta's. So just because it's not the "usual process" doesn't mean it won't happen.
PBs have always been the same build as the DBs.
First few releases of PB are usually a week or so after the DB. Ignoring the revised DB, the PB was the same way Apple usually does it, a week after the DB. The Revised DB was a misnomer. Same as when we‘ve had the rare emergency re-release of a DB with a slightly newer build due to as showstopper Just before the PB was due.
So, really, DB2 and PB1 actually proves that Apple are sticking to their usual process.
I had gotten myself mixed up with later in the process about it being the day after (as per my post earlier in response to
@TimFL1 ), so I’m actually thinking it’s coming next week.
Now watch for Apple to drop it in the next couple hours since I said that ?
