I don't think so. If there were any, they would have been leaked by now, as the latest beta would have some resource files, related to those new features.

Any updates....
Seems no release today.

Nothing today. Maybe tomorrow then.

I dont think so.
IMHO, it will be next week now.

Let's not jump the gun

 

[Mlrollin91]

Definitely will see Beta 5 today

You were saying?

 

[C DM]

You were saying?

The usual "definitely".

They need to fix the random safari bug. Where it goes to the bottom of the page every time you click a link or go back

Probably tomorrow. Because Apple hasn't announced any March event. So we will see 1 or 2 more beta(s) depending on when Apple will hold the March event, I think.

Let's take a look at 2016:

iOS 9.3 beta 1: 11 January (Monday)
iOS 9.3 beta 2: 25 January (Monday)
iOS 9.3 beta 3: 8 February (Monday)
iOS 9.3 beta 4: 22 February (Monday)
iOS 9.3 beta 5: 1 March (Tuesday)
iOS 9.3 beta 6: 7 March (Monday)
Apple announces the March Event: 10 March (Thursday)
iOS 9.3 beta 7: 14 March (Monday)
Apple March Event/iOS 9.3 release: 21 March (Monday)

2017:

iOS 10.3 beta 1: 24 January (Tuesday)
iOS 10.3 beta 2: 6 February (Monday)
iOS 10.3 beta 3: 20 February (Monday)
iOS 10.3 beta 4: 27 February (Monday)

Bold ones matches with each other because Apple released these betas in same weeks of the years.
Italic ones possible future release dates.

Let's keep this thread to speculating about future iOS releases, not bugs in the current one. There's plenty of places to post those kind of things.

I hope that they'll release the final version today or tomorrow. Even though I'm not currently using the beta versions, it seems to be pretty stable, based on the comments in this forum. I don't think they should wait for the March event, if the product is ready to be released earlier.
Although, what I don't know is whether developers face problems, because of the new file system and if they need some more time to update their apps.

APFS is backward compatible so apps do not necessarily need to be updated to work. Any particular new API's used may play into things but the file system should not as far as I understand it.

 

[uandme72]

Any updates?

Any updates?

We'll see in 25 minutes.

 

[gwhizkids]

Any updates?

Although Apple has varied its update scheduling throughout iOS 10, it has never, ever (to my knowledge)* released a beta before 10 am PT.

*I think there may have been one time they released something of a critical bug fix or zero day issue at 2 am.

No release today as well.
I think my guess made yesterday for next week was in effect correct.

 

[gwhizkids]

See ya tomorrow!

Final release looking more likely for next week at this point

Final release looking more likely for next week at this point

If the 10.2.1 final build was the same as its previous beta, and the same expected for 10.3 as well, why is the final release separated from the last beta so much.

 

[Mlrollin91]

We haven't even gotten invitations for the event yet though, so I doubt next week.

 

[sbailey4]

Since MacOS released a beta 5 today and no iOS beta 5 then quite possibly beta 4 is the last one. Or it could drop later today.

There aren't usually events for iOS releases

 

[Mlrollin91]

There aren't usually events for iOS releases

Rumored iPads and Watch Bands. Same event that has been rumored for months now. There always seems to be a March event. We are also due a MacBook update, which could be at this said event.

 

[gwhizkids]

I'm thinking there's a solid possibility that we have the final release right now (hey, don't shoot me...I'm just the messenger). Or, they're going to wait until a week before the rumored event (which I think will happen) and drop one more, with whatever iPad goodies are in store fully baked in (if not accessible by the beta testing public).

The current build ends with a small letter. Only a few times in the history of iOS has that ever happened for a final release. So more likely than not, there will be at least one more build coming, whether its a beta that is the final, or just a final itself.
