Still not ready to release an minor update in two weeks ? WOW
Why "wow"? Maybe they've been busy with WWDC and all that came with it and put 10.3.3 until after that. Maybe there are still some changes they are working on for 10.3.3. Maybe something else. Nothing really strange or new necessarily one way or another. As is usually the case, it will be out when they release it.

This update wont add anything new. Just bug fixes and performance improvements. Just it

Some of you need to step back and take a break from this. Apple sets its own timeline and will release when they want to. They don’t care about any of our preferences for a release date. We can be frustrated by their timing decisions (though why anyone is that excited about a dot release for a soon to be obsolescent operating system version escapes me). But it’s still Apple's decision as to when to release. Heck, they could decide against releasing 10.3.3 altogether and there’s not a thing anyone can do about it.

Well said.

It's kind of frustrating when you have to restore from iOS 11 back to 10.3.3 and you have to set up as new on 10.3.2 and then manually upgrade to 10.3.3 beta 2. Just an extra step.

iOS 10.3.3 Beta 3 with iOS 11 in beta...and people said that there was no chance...
As I previously mentioned, I made a mistake. I wasn't aware last year because I was already on iOS 10.

With that being said, this is only possible because iOS 10 and 11 use different profiles. We never saw this happen pre-profile because it was .ipsw only.

Don't worry man. I was just joking. We're here for the fun. In any case, I expected final to be released...

I'm surprised there was a Beta 3 frankly
I am too. I figured with the 2 week gap, they were finishing up. Maybe they found something that they didn't want to wait until September. Looks like they are returning back to the 2 week cycles.
[doublepost=1497376613][/doublepost]How strange, iWork just got updated for iOS.

And macOS.
