We’ve speculated about the existence of such devices for years. So far we’ve seen no confirmation of it. But I’m sure that if Apple doesn’t have such devices, they want to have them and are working on them.

The sale staff at our local Verizon store always say they have to put it "in the oven to finish baking" before they bring the sealed box out to the customers. I had a suspicion something like this was possible.
 
He’s off on many things ALL the time. He’s famous for deleting tweets, so he looks more right than wrong. I’d give him around 65% accuracy
His gist is talking about obvious things everyone knows or throwing things into the room everyone suspects already or talks about (e.g. supply chain leaks or software features that everyone knows are coming due to market trends or quarterly earnings reports teasing stuff).

Well he can't delete his newsletter editions and I can assure that he has definitely more than 65% accuracy.

Oh this in store one exists and was reported on last year.

Per AppleTrack (https://appletrack.com/leaderboard/), for 2022 Gurman was more like 86%. I don’t think that’s changed much and anecdotally (meaning I ’haven't tallied up his results), I’d say he’s actually been closer to 90-95% accurate.

But he did miss on the September 10th thing. He may have been given bad info (whether inadvertent by the the leaker or a plant by Apple security), or purposely gave the wrong date to protect someone. But he’s been pretty good otherwise.

I wonder if no beta day is from this?

I wouldn't think so — that's a backend services infrastructure issue, handled by a totally different part of the company from the software release pipeline.

It could just be one of those occasional blips in the beta testing schedule where they need some extra testing time before pushing a build out, or it could have been in the schedule all along.

It’s a completely different team that works on this stuff. If you check apples career website you’ll see like a bunch of different positions. They have one specifically on the beta software too. so I doubt that
 
This might be the first time I’m actually ok with no new beta being released. Beta 7 feels like ‘final’ quality to me.

I wish it were that way for me. I have a bug from Beta 1 still open. Whenever Siri finishes speaking in CarPlay, my audio goes from normal sounding to tin can sounding until I disconnect and reconnect my phone.

That’s a terrible bug. No idea why it’s not more widespread. Very odd indeed. I’d go back to iOS 17 if I were you.
