Yes. It’s a strange phenomenon called “Monday”.

There are always more app updates on Monday. Probably because they’ve piled up over the weekend.

Has nothing to do with current betas.
Perhaps its had more to do with Xcode 14.3 requirement coming in 3 weeks.

Starting April 25, 2023, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 14.1 or later. The latest version of Xcode 14, which includes the latest SDKs for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and watchOS 9, is available for free on the Mac App Store.

When building your app, we highly recommend taking advantage of the latest advances in iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and watchOS 9.

Monday is the most popular day for updates, because you have the week to fix anything that crops up.

Release on a Friday say, you may have no staff or it ruins a weekend for developers or expensive freelancers to come in.

Safer Monday.
Dev betas are seeds they don’t specifically have a day of the week that is the most common, could drop ona Friday with the PB seed on the following Monday. If it happens today exactly a week it means the development is running well instead of problems delaying the sending intervals.

But if we consider exactly what you stated with public releases Monday is the most likely day for that. So maybe next Monday. ;)

Eh!, we were talking about Apps being updated on a Monday.

From post #6438
 
There the possibility of just using Apple’s software hot-fix system introduced in 16.4, instead of a point release.
Oh, I didn’t know that mechanism was specifically introduced in 16.4 You’re referring to “Rapid Security Response” that has been used in several beta releases?

This is a rare instance where I hope we don't get a new beta and they instead put out 16.4.1 to fix the weather issues
The weather issues were server side related. It was showing on their status page a few days ago and folks on 16.3 (older) were also having issues.

I don't think there is any reason for an immanent update we will probably see it next Tuesday

Think about what you just typed. Are you privy to why an update would be imminent or not?

It is quite likely that we’re still on a 2 week schedule. But not because users think “somethin’ need fixin’”
