Didn't get the "release version" (as we already had it), but carrier settings just updated to 28.2 (AT&T)

Mine says 14E5277a.

I went to about and got a carrier settings update to T-Mobile 28.3, but no new software update. Same as beta.

That's because you're on the beta. Final release is the shorter number. As @Mlrollin91 notes, likely only tiny changes (if any between Beta 7 and this version).

Kind of like when they re-issue same OS versions. Such small changes its not worthy of a new build number. But as Deeznuts mentioned, removing the profile will allow you to install the final version.

Was on beta 7, no update showing. Deleted beta profile and restarted now a 1.83gb update to 10.3.

Question: Is there any real good reason to do this? Will it purge all the logs and other detritus from the betas? That would be my only real reason for wanting to do this.

They would need to update the build number by one character to get DP/PB up to final release. They can just remove the '5' and 'a' and release it to the public and leave developers on the beta build version. That hasn't happened. No matter what it would have to be updated by one number to 14E278.

No. There was no 10.0 released to the public (only a few iPhones got it from the manufacturer). The GM of 10.0.1 was an actually GM release and then it was released to the public. But the build changed from the last beta of 10.0 to the GM.

10.0 Beta 8: 14A5346a
10.0.1 GM: 14A403

As I predicted the build number is the same as last beta, 14E277. Haha.

Its not 'technically' the same. They removed the beta indicators, otherwise those on the beta wouldn't be able to install it, even if they removed the beta profile. The software itself is slightly different, the removal of the feedback app is evidence of that.

I got 1.48GB of extra free storage on my 128GB 7Plus. Waiting for my 64GB Air 2 to finish.

iPad finished, 800MB freed. I will take it!
