Since the workday today is basically over (in the US), seems like not today.
Yeah. My post was ambiguous. I know it's not out. Is the expectation that it will be tomorrow or not necessarily..?
Don't think there's really any expectation, just guesses that have been posted throughout the thread. People are guessing/hoping that it would be sometime this week, but it certainly might not be (there might even be yet another beta perhaps).
I've got to say the control centre imho is a bit of a mess.
Making two screens was a step backward because it added complexity to something that should be as simple as possible.
I don't find it visually appealing either..

Actually, there is a dark mode. Not even kidding. It's called "Smart Invert Colors". That literally makes everything dark however it doesn't invert images or anything like the regular mode and if an app implements the API related to the smart invert mode they can also be inverted as well. So I don't really see how that's not a dark mode?Pretty much everything has been really disappointing. Apple has lost their software side. I really hope they make it up with hardware in the fall.
[doublepost=1496686860][/doublepost]This is probably the first update that I am not interested in testing. There is nothing "amazing" to test.
So.. No dark mode.. Will probably be iPhone 8 only, as I predicted about a year ago. They always save one thing for the new hardware.

It's not that it makes everything dark, it's that it inverts colors. So white items will be black, but black items will be white. It's not there for "dark mode" purposes, it's there to invert colors, but to do it in a more intelligent way where photos and the like aren't inverted.
Please check out the thread where pretty much everyone has stated it's not a dark mode.
And about that redesign? I guess I wasn't "destroyed" after all.

That's often enough separate and unrelated to betas or anything like that.
Hi, i have one question.Can I backup my iPhone 7 iOS 10.3.3 beta 2 and then downgrade to iOS 10.3.2 and restore everything from the beta software to 10.3.2?
All of the people who work on this stuff are at WWDC.no idea when 10.3.3 will be released. it could be this week, next week, there could be another beta?
10.3.3. is probably done, the are just waiting to seed it. Apple is usually 2-3 builds ahead internally. So the final version is most likely completed.

It would probably be easier to "control+update" 10.3.2. Then you won't lose any data.
In order to restore a backup from a higher version requires you to edit the backup file.
I tried to do this bc 10.3.3 beta 1 was horrible for me .. i ended up downgrading to 10.3.2 and started from scratch.. all my issues went away when i did it this way good luck .. but like @Mlrollin91 said control + Update you wont lose data, but may still have the issues if thats why you are downgrading in the first place ..
I want to do this because i am not sure if i backup now iOS 10.3.3 beta2 and upgrade to iOS 11 and if i have problems after that if i downgrade to iOS 10.3.2 or 10.3.3 official version, will the backup work.
i was always told going from beta to a new ios beta may cause issues .. someone can correct me on this but if i was you i would downgrade to 10.3.2 as a new iphone then go to ios 11 .. but thats just me bc my phone is my daily driver and cant have issue through out the day
