You may need to hold on for another week for DB5 & PB3 and from then on it should go with weekly betas.

Even though we're not on Weekly's yet, one could say we actually ARE due to the revised build released yesterday 
I was having some minor issues and now with the revised b4 release, I'm not. Whether that was just due to installing again over itself or actually having things fixed, I see this as a "weekly release" now, it's just that we all got what we weren't expecting... Next week it is...

I think that we are going to see both the DB and the public beta. I expect them to remain in lock step until the end of the beta season.

You know some people will miss the jokey nature and take it as a real fact…. 😂

I don't think we are getting anything today. I'm going back n forth with my statement. Somebody help!
Yes, it is slightly different build against iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and MacOS 14 only.
Apple Releases Second Public Betas of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, Revised Developer Beta
Apple today seeded the second betas of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 to public beta testers, allowing non-developers to test the software ahead of its launch....

There's nowt to come today, really. DB5 next week.
Agreed. Like I said in the earlier you can call it whatever you want but there was a beta released this week and it involved enough changes to warrant an update.Even though we're not on Weekly's yet, one could say we actually ARE due to the revised build released yesterday

Whether or not it improves the experience is irrelevant as that’s the nature of the beta experience, but if Apple deems it important I’m going to install it. History dictates that when they break their schedule it’s likely security related.

Any chances of anything today? Seems unlikely...
I just answered my own question. 😮💨

What would come today? Weekly isn’t until after DB5.
More importantly, what are the odds that Apple would release a new beta less than 48 hours after releasing (effectively) another beta. I’d say, slim to none.
I believe it will be 2 weeks since they re-released beta 4 this week.
I still think DB5 will still arrive next week. We can't automatically extend the dev beta intervals each time for revisions , otherwise it will never see very many dev beta versions before when it needs to ship in mid to late Sept.
Next week will be 2 weeks since it was released. The rerelease was minor, so won’t delay for that.
People said that for the B3 re-release also. Wouldn‘t surprise me if the release from this week reset the 2 week counter again, effectively giving us B5 in 2 weeks instead of next week.
If PB2 didn’t come out with the re-release of DB4, I would agree with you, as that’s a different scenario to the. dB3 situation. Since they didn’t delay PB2, then I’m going with it next week.
The revised DB4/PB2 seed we got this week was just a different (j vs h) variant of the original DB4 build, so it is not exactly the same scenario. Besides, we are now going further into the beta cycle, having about 1.5 months before the actual iOS 17 release, so should be entering the weekly schedule for all betas by now. Also, as mentioned numerous times here, it is not like Apple are compiling a beta and then releasing it the next day; they are already several betas ahead, most likely. Basically, I am expecting DB5/PB3 next week and then weekly for both afterwards.
The DB3 was earlier in the beta cycle, so I still believe DB5 will come out next week.
Apple isn't calling it a re-release. They're calling Monday's release "Developer Beta 4"....
And seeing as though we'll most likely get Dev Beta 5 next week, that means we're already on Weekly Releases... Again, people can try and parse this any way they want, But a new compiled release, followed by another compiled release a week later, and then another the week after that... Thems is weekly updates.
