iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

Reason being?

As I think I’ve laid out in this thread 3x now: we’ve frequently seen 6 betas for a point release. We are on number 5 and number 6 would drop early next week (5/13 or 14). In all likelihood, that will also be the release candidate build. If that pans out, that same build will be released to the public on or about 5/20.

5/27 is Memorial Day and begins the short week prior to WWDC. It stands to reason that Apple will not release a major feature update in a short week during which its engineers are gearing up to the most significant software event of the Apple year. They are pushing the envelope a bit, as it is, given the importance of the TV updates coming with 12.3.

Dark horse candidates for release dates:

-next week (5/13): certainly possible, which would make beta 5 the release candidate build. I don’t recall Apple stopping at 5 betas before, but where we find ourselves on the overall version release calendar might make that a bit more realistic than normal.

-With iOS 13 beta 1 at WWDC on 6/3 or 6/4: No reason it couldn’t since most users will not be on the betas. Seems unlikely, though, in that a major functionality update would be overshadowed by iOS 13

So, there you have my own speculation, which is nothing more than that.

Can’t be final as not a full delta update still a beta one so if it’s gonna release on Monday they would just of waited I think this is final with beta extras and 2 weeks full release
