I would put it more in the realm of “not unheard of“ as opposed to “very often“.

LOL ok that is fine. We will go with that if you like. :oops:

[EDIT]
Interesting I got curious and found this (your thread) with some evidence of several 1 PST releases JUST for iOS 16. Has been like that way before 16.

So I stand by my statement 1:00 pst is a pretty common release time. Sorry. ;)

We shall have to agree to disagree

I should also note that many of the 1 PM Pacific time releases are for public betas. That is a common time for those.

Likely trying to release this beta cycle with VisionOS? Anyone here think iOS 17.3 beta 3 is not ready for prime time?

Wouldn't be surprising! How many times have we heard that one team was pulled into another to help out? Considering this new (and expensive!) headset hasn't had much public facing PR other than what Apple's released so far, and people's reports of using it are semi-underwhelming (a fancy iPadOS UI in an expensive and heavy headset), I'm sure it's all hands on deck trying to get it right. Anything "new" in iOS, iPadOS, and especially macOS will probably be put on hold until Summer '24. Just like in the past.

Do we think app sideloading will pop up in iOS 17.4? That’s what I’m guessing since the deadline is in March. Also, I don’t think Apple will split the App Store or necessarily even restrict sideloading to the EU. I think it would make much more sense to just roll it out worldwide with settings that need toggled to enable it, and protections in place like on macOS, such as pop-ups notifying you that you’re about to open an app from the web. It would also likely not allow installation of software from non-signed developers, at least not without a lot more friction. But rolling it out worldwide would have several benefits: it would simplify things by not having to maintain two separate systems, and would reduce mounting regulatory pressure worldwide. And I don’t see a mass exodus from the App Store, most developers and iOS users would likely continue to use the App Store. I originally was against app sideloading on iOS, but I think that if it’s implemented properly, it could be a good improvement. I’m interested in seeing what Apple will do with app sideloading in the coming couple months. What do you think?

They will absolutely limit it to the EU. Just look at how petty they went about the „allow links to external payment providers“, limiting it to the US and also how horribly baity it is.
