Apple literally stated it was coming this week with the new Pride watch face and wallpapers, there's nothing premature about stating what Apple released in a press release.
it will not come on a thursday or friday. Tomorrow is the last chance, if it's not then Apple was premature. Maybe they didn't expect to find so many things wrong with 16.5
 
It can definitely come on a Thursday or a Friday. The normal constraints (not wanting a flaky beta in the public’s hands over a weekend) would not apply for a public release.

What’s interesting is the fact that both iOS / iPadOS and MacOS are getting the third release candidate treatment. That suggests that the issue is with a feature or code shared between these platforms.

My money is on a zero day. Something that impacts the kernel.
 
Whelp, I’m not seeing any texts or messages, images, anything- unless I swipe back out of the conversation and back in again. It’s consistent ace the board even after a reboot. #yay

I’m always worried when there’s quick turnaround like this. Are things fixed? I’m sure! But at what expense.
 
Something big is going to happen tomorrow. 👀 I have a good feeling about it again!

Some of the new beats features require 16.5 so has to be today or tomorrow for release.

On Beats website, only 16.4 is required for pairing but 16.5 needed for Find My on Apple Store.
