Funny that makes most iOS public patches you highly desire to be rushed insignificant right?

Who cares about 17.6, when in 3 weeks iSO 18 will be HERE!
Probably most of the consumers out there. Even if there are a number of us that dabble with the earliest betas we all know they aren't suitable yet for most people until it gets closer to public release.

Also if I had an XR or 11 I may not be certain that ios17 isn't my final version.
In all the years I’ve had the early beta’s on mine only once I had to do a full restore coz it boot looped. Most issues are liveable for 2 weeks until the next build
If there was going to be a year that might break your streak, this is likely going to be it.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised. But I also would not be surprised if this is a year where there could be significant issues in the first 2-3 developer betas.
We’ll have a good sense of whether that’s likely if Apple gives a warning like it did for the iOS 13 betas.
I was referring to the following, particularly the comment about “thrill seekers”: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/...ate-download-now-how-to-warning-a8998491.html
The digital markets law has passed in the UK. Meaning all the changes made for the EU will need to come here too.
The more, the better! Slowly but surely the world awakens... 👍
We will definitely see an iOS 17.6. It’s still nearly half a year before the first public release versions of iOS 18.
Only for this week, but it will diffidently start soon, and no reason why it shouldn't.

Zollo saying we need a 17.5.2 because there are major bugs
If Zollo says so, then it must be so!
Live look in of Zollo and Tim Cook discussing updates.
They usually release betas on Tuesdays or Thursdays!! Monday and Friday is difficult although it may be, but it is difficult for them to launch betas
True, but I just meant more generally no updates including public .1 updatesThey usually release betas on Tuesdays or Thursdays!! Monday and Friday is difficult although it may be, but it is difficult for them to launch betas
It is Memorial Day, where we commemorate those who fell in service of our nation as well the other nations the United States liberated in two world wars.
I join your feeling and respect for all the people who died on duty!!! 🫡
We’re less than 2 weeks from iOS 18 Beta 1, so I may just say “screw it” and grab iOS 17.6 Beta 1 if it comes out this week. Why not.
Today Or tomorrow seems like a good chance for iOS 17.6 beta. Not like is a waste to use it while waiting for opinions of the first iOS 18 AI preview beta on the 10th.
