The new Formula 1 season is about to start and teams are busy presenting their new cars and their brand new "livrée". Tim will fly to Bahrein 03-05 March to steward the crew shooting the next "Shot on an iPhone' advertisement material 😉

Yes I expect Tim to take more time off from coding to go to the F1 race. Hopefully he can crank out the 16.4 beta release before he heads out.

My mini and OG HomePods updated just fine with beta profiles installed in all.
I must admit though that after I did update them and everything else that I removed profiles from my devices as everything is working so well and yes, I have tried unsuccessfully to depart the beta train in the past, I will try to stay off for as long as I can stand it.
 
Good morning & Happy Monday!

iOS 16.3.1 Today ✅
iOS 16.4 Beta 1 on Tuesday.

This is going to be our week. Let's Do This! 🏁
OMG! It's Tuesday. A big day for all of us. I am going to increase the size of the fonts for some hope and good luck. A miracle needs to happen today.

iOS 16.4 Beta 1 Incoming Today!!! ✅

🙏🏻 Holy Father,

I come before you to wish for iOS 16.4 Beta 1. iOS Beta in my life and iOS Beta here on Earth.
You granted us the power to choose Beta but sometimes we lack hope and faithfulness from Apple. Hold us close to Apple, and grant us the ability and patience for iOS 16.4 Beta.

Amen.

I have this feeling that once it does finally come out it’s gonna be a huge letdown, same bugs, nothing new of interest.

Yeah the greatest 16.4 beta 1 that will fix stuttering on Pro motion devices, square notifications and will improve battery life
 
In my professional opinion its not coming today. beta profile devices got 16.3.1 yesterday because there won't be a 16.4 today to patch the vulnerability. They either have a show stopping bug with 16.4, are really worried about VR references leaking out.... Or just simply have all resources currently allocated to VROS in a mad dash to have something ready to present at a spring event. Maybe next week.

Disagree.

The priority was to patch the zero-day. So 16.3.1 had to take priority. And they had to install the "patch" code into the internal versions of the 16.4 beta and test it before deploying.

Given the time that has already passed and the need to get back on track (remember, they are now bumping up against WWDC), I do expect to see 16.4 b1 today.
 
If iOS 16.4 Beta 1 is not released today. I will hit the 🔕 notification bell and make all the alerts disappear.

Although, I have a strong feeling iOS 16.4 Beta 1 is being released today around 10:00 PDT. Let's get it!!!

Update: Notifications have gone up. So the stakes are running high.

You could very well be right. We shall see at 1:00pm. It's a good ol fashion face-off lol... this is the fun part of the speculation thread

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 you have this feeling every day 😂🤣🤣🤣
 
I have a feeling it will be today, so judging by recent history, it probably won't be today.

Regarding devices with a beta profile getting the update, don't they always get the most recent update, so if the public released update is more recent than the beta, they get that as well? Never really kept track of that to be honest.
 
It’s delayed again, sorry, Apple is cooked from pushing out 16.3.1 yesterday which didn’t fix anything.
