Would not be surprised if they skip RC and release 17.6 this week (tomorrow?)

Not saying i’d expect that, but wouldn’t surprise me given the build # (21G79) has already leaked + 17.5.2 was scraped (likely implying an accelerated 17.6 release)

Also apple has until july 25 for some of those EU regulations, i’m assuming they would require an OS update?
 
there deff needs to be an RC, beta 4 is not stable. I'm going to be surprised if we go straight to the release despite what Butch says

Animation stuttering is surprisingly gone on my 15 Pro after a couple of days with the beta 3.
 
It's the RC Butch was wrong. I know people are freaking out about those EU deadlines but doubt we are getting the public before then

copy -> paste -> forgot edit, lol.
 
I'm planning for a Tuesday evening (nordics) release to my batch of test-people at work.
I'm guessing there will be a 17.6.1 that follow shortly after as almost always happens.

Will be interesting to get a list of security updates and the severity of them, if they release that info.
