its always 2 weeks until like beta 4

Until it isn’t, lol. I don’t think it will come this week but the past year or so should be an example that things change. Look at last week with the late afternoon release. I think a lot of the expectations people have of things “always” being as certain way when it comes to beta are based on patterns that were established when Apple only had 2 OS’s to worry about. As fun as predicting is, we’re all at the mercy of Apple’s internal roadmap.

Last week’s shenanigans were almost certainly the result of the zero day fix they had to rush out the door.
 
Apple could release beta 3 today then public this Friday, because it's an holiday next week on 4th of July
They could, but history shows that they'd prefer to not worry about new beta releases over a holiday weekend, and just release it after.
I have a feeling we're not getting anything this week. I think it will be next week. We aren't even on the weekly schedule for the betas yet.

Does anyone know when the weekly beta kicks in? I thought it was sometime in August. 😒

For iOS 14.0, iOS 15.0, and IOS 16.0 it was against beta 5 seed. So August would be right.

If I recall past years, I remember being on the first public betas on the 4th of July holiday breaks.

Public beta likely this week or after next week.

That has definitely occurred. The 4th falling midweek this year may complicate that though.

It would occur after July 6th dev beta 3 (best guess). Either that Friday July 7th or early week of July 10th, or 11th.

From last year
