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.
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.
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.
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.

We haven't even gotten invitations for the event yet though, so I doubt next week.
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.
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.
I am on 10.3 b4 on iphone 7 and its more better than 10.2.1when i updated to 10.2.1 i was hopfull that my iphone would be better. but it become laggy....i fear to update to beta 4
