I would anticipate 17.4.1 coming next week Monday or Tuesday. Once they remove the ability to downgrade, it seems it takes about a week for the update to come out. 17.3.1 was removed yesterday. 17.4 would be the only option right now.

I'm just saying I saw it on youtube he is an Aaron Zolla type guy. I don't know that he is an expert but his expertise is talking about Ios updates that's what he does.
That hardly makes someone an expert. I could talk about all sorts of things on YouTube, and that would not make me an expert at anything (other than being a doofus for talking about things I don't know about, of course).

Aaron Zollo saying this is unusual guess he's talking about beta 1

As I’ve said a few times already: this cycle has been impacted by the EU deadline. Apple raced 17.4 out the door to meet the March 6th deadline. As we’ve seen in past years, the X.4 iteration was released several weeks later in the year. Apple still has to “land” at WWDC, so it would not surprise me that the balance of the beta releases line up with past years to get them there. So that would mean 17.5 b 1 could be released as late as March 27th/28th to line up with last year (3/28) or later (e.g., 15.5 b1 was released on 4/5/22).

I hope they don’t wait until the 27th, that would be a rather long wait for a beta. I would think that 17.5 is well under way by now, and we could get a beta at least next week. There’s no reason to just postpone a beta release to “line up” with past releases other years.
