iOS 16 Speculation Thread

Would fit their public beta in July claim (1 week after DB2, so next week DB2).
But reports also said iOS 16 is a mess and thus PB1 hits with DB3, so this week is possible.
I wouldn’t call it a mess, but it’s definitely not yet ready for even a wider beta audience. Especially with the battery life issues.
The only thing that's certain is that none of us have any clue ... 😂
I'm guessing the Beta 2 won't be released today :-( ... so many bugs in Beta 1. More than last year, would you say?
Might not be released today, but we've seen later-than-1PM beta releases before. I recall either last year or 2020, we had a couple betas released at either 3PM EST or 4PM EST.
Beta 1 is doing fine for me, I'm in no hurry to get to, the usually worse, beta 2. That being said, I have a feeling it will be next Tuesday, not this week.
I wouldn’t say so at all from my perspective. Based on the pre-release stuff from Gurman, I was expecting an iOS 13 level disaster. But I have been pleasantly surprised.
I mean it wouldn't be surprise if that's true, but it seems like he's speculating like the rest of us lol
That’s nothing but a guess based on how he worded his tweet. He’s guessing when the public beta will be released and based on that guess he then further speculates as to what that means about the preceding release. That’s a bit too attenuated for my liking.

Dang! We got nothing today. I was hoping all of us would get blessed today. Looks like it'll be tomorrow or on Thursday?
Also, Mark Gurman is speculating like you and me. Nice one!

The more I think about this the more it feels like next week is the week. If we got a release this week we'd have to wait 3 weeks until July 11th because it's too soon for a weekly build and the following week is the week of the 4th which is likely not a release week due to holiday and vacations.
With this in mind here's my predictions for the rest of the beta cycle.
Beta 2 - June 27th (or 28th)
Beta 3 - July 11th and public beta July 12th
Beta 4 - July 25th / public 26th
Beta 5 - August 8th / public 9th
After this point we move to weekly releases until we get the RC when the new iPhones are announced in September.

Based on the history of Beta 2's I wouldn't call it blessed.... All the people clamoring for the Beta soon turn in to people complaining about the beta.
OK. Went back and did some research. Last year, DP1 was released on Monday, June 7th. DP2 was released on June 24th and PB1 was released on June 30th.
Also found this, which validates that Apple will (and frequently does) release betas during the week of July 4th (Independence Day from Pearworld).
So I will stand by my release prediction with a bias around tomorrow and Thursday.
Going back and re-reading the iOS 15 Speculation Thread is a …. lot like reading this thread. You could cut and paste entire swaths of posts and paste them in here and no one would ever know it was from a year ago.
