Giving to a "developer" an information like that is like giving it to everyone since it will get public in a matter of minutes, like in this case.
Anyway, i'd love a 10.4 update, hopefully with new iPad features not exclusive to the 2017 model.
Got a tip for us?

I think that they are watching developers percentage of using beta. So unless there is ~ 90% of devs using beta and reporting same bugs with zero or one new bug they will push update to beta 2. After that again if there are new bugs from earlier version they try to fix this in beta 2. So we can expect betas till beta 10 or if all critical bugs are fixed they can finish beta testing after beta 3 or beta 4 and push official stable update.
I don't see why not. I could see them wanting to keep progress going on this one as much as they can. Especially given how smooth it is already.
Could see beta 2 today. I think unless it's a X.X release (which includes major changes which affect the simplest of things in the OS) we'll see a lot more betas. The more, the better.

B1 was on Tuesday last week, so maybe they'll stick with that schedule? iOS 10 betas have been so ultimately pretty random, anything is possible.
That would have made the most logical sense, wouldn't it have? "Oh we are speeding a beta today, might as well seed the others as well."
It is very well possible 3.2 was not ready to be seeded last week, but iOS builds are 2-3 builds ahead internally, so beta 2 is definitely done, potentially beta 3 as well. So it would have been ready to go yesterday.
I know that would make sense, but they still most of the time stick to weekly schedules. I know that with 10.2.1, they were all over the place. I think it would come out today.
Or it might've not been ready for release or they wanted to stagnate them. And yes I know they've release them all at once before.
This weekly beta thing didn't start until iOS 10.1. For the last 9 years of iOS, it was a 2-3 week beta cycle. Because of how complex 10.2 is, I really think it will be 2 weeks.
