Are you sure about that? I’ve left my beta profile on for the last update without getting the final version.
I have same version as DimaVR (last beta)
Got a tip for us?

On macOS, you can update to the RC build from beta. On iOS, it won’t let you. You’ll need to remove beta profile and update OTA. Or update using iTunes in recovery mode or using IPSW while retaining the beta profile. The beta should pick up soon so you could just stay on it.
No one has totally answered you. Yes 16D5039a is the last beta(4). The release version for all devices OTHER than the 2018 phones is basically the same build, 16D39. The XS, XSM, and XR all got 16D40 (one rev up from the beta) as the released version. If you keep the profile installed you will keep getting betas, if there are any, for iOS 12 but will not get the release versions.
BTW this is the wrong thread for this discussion
Prior to iOS 9 there was no beta profile that you downloaded and installed to get OTA beta updates. They were all .ipsw. So times have changed in how people get their betas, thus now they only can seed one at at time.
Also, if you look at those two examples you happened to pick out, those are two of out 3 exceptions of 2 versions of iOS being in testing at the same time. 3 times out of dozens and dozens and dozens of builds in 11 years. You made a very bold claim of something always happen, when in reality the opposite is quite true.

Ah, the infamous “theater mode” beta, which was supposed to bring some wonderful new feature to the phone, but instead brought the needed but no big deal theater mode to the Watch. It was supposed to have been released in early January according to the allegedly knowledgeable Sonny Dickson

The eager anticipation for this beta is what gave birth to these speculation threads.
I’m optimistic for a beta today. We’ve seen betas on Thursday’s before. 12.2 dev beta today, public beta tomorrow. If no dev beta today, Monday or Tuesday for sure. They haven’t missed shipping a x.x update from January to March since iOS 4. 4.3 in March, 5.1 in March, 6.1 in January, 7.1 in March, 8.3/9.3/10.3/11.3 in March. Pretty safe bet we will see 12.2 next.
just a thought but maybe we will get iOS 12.2 next which will be required for the spring ipads and possible airpods?! iOS 12.2 release in march along side those new hardware.
we will get a 12.x update if apple has planned an api-level change in the iOS sdk before iOS 13
With D40, I have noticed some of the bugs that I was still reporting with beta 4 have been fixed.
If I were you, I'd delete the beta profile and update.
Just get the beta profile again when the next beta comes out.
Off topic but WHY does iOS insist on putting the apostrophe in when you type the plural version of a day of the week? This has always irritated me and I actually entered seven different text replacement entries at one point but they seem to have been lost.
My suspicion is that the use of the possessive "Thursday's" (as in "Thursday's meeting", etc....) is dramatically higher than appending an "s" to Thursday to denote multiple instances of that day of the week.
We all here are just speculating, yes because it is a speculation thread.
Reason for @gwhizkids is that he has not seen any 9to5mac post or tweet from some developer until 11AM and he thinks it is not happening.
I am well aware of the fact that this is a speculation thread. Your reasoning makes sense. Posting "today" or "tomorrow" without more doesn't even rise to the level of speculation and is really not helpful.
Yes I agree, thats what I want to say, no one here knows anything, we all just rely on some lead and it may be from some other blog or twitter.
We may not "know" anything, but there are some posts that are more useful to readers than others. The original "Netflix app update" theory is a case in point: although it appears to now be debunked, at the time, it did appear to be some indicia of an upcoming release (and maybe it was a harbinger, but Apple nixed it going foward; who knows?). Also (and not in any way patting myself on the back for this), my post noting the large number of apps being updated on Monday this week was at least something for readers to chew on. The apps being updated may have been an indicator of the impending release or it may have been purely a coincidence and appropos of nothing. But at least the information was something! I know we come here, in part to vent and in part in the hopes of getting some meaningful info. But I'm pretty sure no one comes here in the hopes of seeing "Today!" or "Not today" or "Tomorrow" or "Maybe today or maybe some other day" and the like.
Here you go https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/24/ios-12-2-beta-1/
12.2 coming today.
12.2 coming today.
9to5 states 12.2 Developer Beta today.
Edit:
Great minds think alike ... other than I guess mine was a little slower than others

Weird, my XS Max is much faster than my 7 was.
Escalate how, email Tim and complain?
wonder what they will be adding. all the exciting changes are probably not till iOS 13.
so we should expect iOS 12.2 public release sometime in march?
