11.2.2

I definitely admit to not having watched closely but I presume they need to release fairly quickly and frequently to be done for a 11.2.5 release at the end of January-ish.

What do you think about my theory?

Nope. iOS 4 had a 4.2.1 update and went directly to 4.2.5 next so not necessarily going to get all those in-between up to 11.2.5. And x.x.X updates don't always have betas (as you just saw with 11.2.1) so they could release another one or two or none before 11.2.5 is finished. Also 11.2.5 could be a single beta or one more. Point being they don't have to 'fill the gap' up to 11.2.5 and 11.2.5 could release fairly quickly without a ton of betas.

Thanks. Appreciate the historical context.

Next prediction; unpredictability

I don’t know, there’s a chance. 10.2.1 b2 was released on December 20, only a week after b1

Yeah a chance but its not been a week yet so I would more guess maybe tomorrow or Wednesday for another beta and perhaps 11.2.2 today. If in fact that is a planned release as stated last week.

Didn’t really work like that. Only iPhone 4 CDMA got iOS 4.2.5-4.2.9. All others stopped at 4.2.1 until 4.3 was launched. 4.2.5 was for the launch of the Verizon iPhone only.
