Monterey final release today?

I could not find any speculation thread about MacOS Monterey so I post here.

Will Apple release the final version of Monterey today?

No. They released an update to Safari and said release was later this fall.

Don't expect the final version until the new MacBooks (likely in October)

No, any recent major MacOS is done over a few months, in this case June thru November. It is not tethered to the iOS/IPadOS, tvOS and WatchOS releases to the public. See this post I made.

Anything between now and end of November...

My totally off-the-wall prediction:
- Monterey will be released on the day the new MacBook Pro 14" and 16" are announced.
BUT...
- The new MBP's may ship with "an updated version" of Monterey that is "above and beyond" the general release.

What that means is that the "general release" version won't boot the new MBP's.
Instead, there will be an update that makes it compatible.
We've "been there before" on this one.
