Will Monterey come out in September or October?

How's the beta feeling?

The last couple of macOS upgrades have rolled out at least few weeks after all of the other Apple upgrades (iOS, watchOS, etc). Yet I also recall the last couple of summers reading how incredibly buggy the macOS betas were which ultimately explained why it had a delayed public release. Maybe it's anecdotal (and I know it's early still) but it seems like Monterey is not suffering the same fate as the past couple of betas with major bugs. So do you expect Monterey to actually come out in near tandem with the rest of the OS upgrades this September?

For reference:
Big Sur came out on November 12, 2020. All other Apple upgrades were released on September 16, 2020.
Catalina came out on October 7, 2019. All other Apple upgrades were released on September 19, 2019.
Mojave came out on September 24, 2018. All other Apple upgrades were released the week before in 2018.

The release of Big Sur in November seemed to coincide with the release of the Apple Silicon Macs, rather than following its own development schedule.

I suspect the release of Monterey will be the same - it will be released with the rumoured new MacBook pros.
