I wonder with all the changes whether Apple might offer PB tester seeds earlier from WWDC 2023 compared to the past few years. Seems like obsoleting profiles and going Apple IDs can afford them much more control then just anyone could skirt their warnings about earliest betas. Guess we shall see.

Based on today.. When can we expect an official public release? I'm thinking Thursday.
Why do you always think things like this are strange? It happens almost every time they release a second Release Candidate. They found a troubling bug, they fixed it (enough to their satisfaction to release it) and now they’ll wait a day or 2 to make sure it works in the wild.
I am almost 100% certain we’ll see the public release no later than Wednesday and in all likelihood tomorrow. Which is when it might have been scheduled for release anyhow. For all we know, they had the extra time, saw something they weren’t thrilled about and released the second release candidate to nail it down because they had the time to do so.
Tomorrow my guess. They just did this today, to make sure the beta testers were updated before pushing it out and not something we have to wait for with IOS/IPadOS 16.6 Beta 1.
FYI in case you wondered what build it was.
- OS 16.5 RC 2 (20F66) - May 15, 2023
- iPadOS 16.5 RC 2 (20F66) - May 15, 2023

Apple needs to listen to ZolloTech or hire him for testing the future iOS.

I think the jury is out until we see the keynote and then decide to opt in if you really need developer access again.
Lot of desire to see evolution occurring compared to 2022 OS's. But as there is no leakage it kinda makes one want to wait.
Interesting... I hadn't considered this, but you might be on to something. What is the current lag time now for new releases? A month I think?....Perhaps they cut it down to a week or two, or maybe they go all the way and make it next day like .x releases..... I really hope you're on to something here.
Maybe not today but still expecting it this week.

I think we're going to get the official public release on Thursday but there is a chance we might see it next week now.
Considering the 2nd Release Candidate coming out for iOS & iPadOS, there's definitely something going on we're just all not privy to. I mean, for ME, I'm having some odd issues with macOS, but my iPhone & iPad are running just fine. Hard to say, but could still be today, tomorrow, or Thursday.. If it's this week, though, I'm saying today.
I think it will be this week as the news article for the pride bands and watch face still says available this week and requires 16.5.
Since the RC2 update was apparently only one build up from RC1, my thinking is we will likely see it today.
So much for my oracle of speculation

Yeah, as @Realityck pointed out earlier, the one build up build number was probably just to shore everything up for release.I think it will be this week as the news article for the pride bands and watch face still says available this week and requires 16.5.

I thought the 16.5 RC2 of iOS/iPadOS was just an example of incorporating last minute security changes into the seed so that we don’t have to wait for fixes to be part of 16.6 Beta 1. This way we aren’t deploying platforms that all aren’t up to date before what’s next this week.Now this makes me believe iOS 16.5 is coming today indeed! 👇

Note multiple outages that are now resolved but System Status shows all green at this time. Weather was also slow on acquiring locations earlier that doesn't show any issues? Still hope they do it today so the 16.6 beta kicks off some time after today.
