Correct! I believe it's coming in July.
iOS 17 Public Beta Coming in July, But Developer Beta is Already Free
Apple previously announced that the first public betas of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, watchOS 10, tvOS 17, and HomePod software version 17 will...

Glad I was wrong that they wouldn’t do 2 releases in one day!
Still, at least it’s this week, and not next week like some were saying…..

So Apple has made me wrong about two things today. First I said that I didn’t believe that they would release these today given that they did all the others. And then they made me wrong when I said that they had released everything. Zero Apple Watch updates ever since the others were released.😭
I had to toggle beta updates off then on to get beta 2 of watchOS 10 for my Apple Watch Ultra

Same here. Turning beta updates off and then on fixed it for me.
Except 16.5.1 has been spotted for a few weeks now. Even macrumors mentioned seeing it in their web stats. So don’t think this was an “oh s*** we gotta get this out now!” sorta release.
😃 Of course there is. They release any update to the masses all the time. That’s how they do it. Those on betas make zero difference because they are either getting the public’s release OR beta (not both at same time) so not really adding anything to available bandwidth per sae. Also most users just allow the update to show up whenever it does (days later or overnight while sleeping) and lots are not even aware they are being updated until they see a message that it happened.Welcome beta 2's. Yes there is enough BW.
I did that, been stuck on preparing for 30 minutes now.
I think that was originally the case but that the security aspect took on the greater urgency. When outlets like MR and 9to5Mac urge installation of a particular update, you know Apple asked them to do so with a very good reason.
My working theory is that 17.0 b2 was due out yesterday, which was why there was at least one “oops” moment from the MR reporter who probably had his tweet timed for the end of the embargo and forgot to change it when Apple decided against releasing yesterday. Gurman was also very certain last night about a release today, leading me to think that they were all in the know.
That’s my guess as well, 2 days after a holiday as they did this week.
They can do first PB on July 7th Friday or July 10th Monday is another reason.
As per what @gwhizkids said, but also try the right thread, this is for Speculation of iOS 17 beta releases, not for bugs.

Sure as anything it works. Very strange Apple!
As far as I know a profile is still required. I was only getting betas for 16.6 until I installed it.
