That guy literally knows nothing about future releases...but man, can he find every stinking detail in something that HAS been released.
Hoping for today!
I’d say today is our most likely day this week.
I just ordered a MacBook Pro and went back to watch his unboxing/review...I think it may have ruined the whole experience for me when mine shows up now. 🤣
🤣
This is a tough time in beta land. It’s the dog days of summer and there’s not much new in the betas. Easy to become disoriented!

I think it'll be the opposite. It'd be in Apple's best interests to release a beta to a fewer number of folks as opposed to an official release to how many millions of iDevices? You'd think they'd rather release iOS16b4 first, to the people that want to immediately download it, and then release iOS15.6 to the masses to and let that push out for the coming days after. That's my thinking anyway.
That’s probably overthinking it a bit. But certainly understandable since we don’t know if the second Release Candidate caused the public release of 15.6 to be delayed.
I think the immutable date is the release date of iOS 16 beta 4. Whatever date they put down on the master calendar as the release date for that beta is going to be the release date absent an issue with that software. iOS 15.6 is an afterthought and will be released in whatever way is needed to avoid interfering with the iOS 16 development timeline.

Are there cat-imposters on here?One of them is going to happen. A lot of cat updates yesterday.
OFFICIAL Cat 1 is sat on the wooden lounge floor in front of a fan. I just asked her if any betas will drop today and she stood up, put her paw in a thumbs-up position (minus the thumbs obvs), repositioned herself and flopped on the floor again.
Make of that what you will.
I was thinking… all these speculations. Isn’t it amazing how Apples developers keep their beta programs ”in house” when it comes to leaks… dates and so on. Compared to Microsofts Insider program… there are no efforts to stop info from leaking at all. You read about upcoming beta releases in detail with dates and so on
Is it just that Apple has a faithful crew working on this?

If this is indeed the original cat, then I trust only this cat. Make sure you let her know: MESSAGE RECEIVED
Partially, I think, its Apple's internally generated mystique: no one finds out until Apple is ready to tell them. The other part is that Microsoft desperately would like the same caché regarding its own program. So they purposely alert people when they're going to drop to get some buzz. Otherwise, it's as quiet as Pearsy's house when the missus and the Pearlet are away.
Yes if it follows 15 schedule. That didn't go weekly until after 6. They did the same thing with 15 b2 as 16 b3 and synced up the betas. But who knows maybe they will come out faster this time.
I don't think even they know till a day arises and they're like, "yep it works, just. Phew. Hey workie, go tell Tim to hit the button. If he's not in his office, the pin code to release the button is 0000" - Craig F.

I think he's saying that we won't see beta 4 this week, but next week. not that it will go weekly after beta 4.
