No Ventura beta? Was hoping to see to a fix to the mail scheduling email 40 years in the past bug (which makes powerd use 100% of cpu) or the thumbnail generation bug fixed.
I'm not seeing anything for macOS, either. Was really hoping for something today, but there's a better chance we're still on a two week schedule with that.

Might be on two-week schedule due to the fact it's not due till October. I don't think that one is on Apple's prioritization list.
Well, I can see why Apple does it this way, in stages. The developers need longer to ensure their apps work well with the upcoming release, plus pay Apple their fee for it. So it is logical they get first in line. As to the quality of betas themselves, there have indeed been cases when later betas caused more issues than earlier ones. This is why Apple warns everybody not to install betas on the devices people cannot do without. We willingly jump into a beta train, with all its excitement and bugs. The whole beta testing process for public should be fun, IMO, otherwise what’s the point? And when any beta hiccups occur, we can either go back to iOS 15.6, stable as a rock, or hope that the next beta will fix it.
Although it did come out on a Monday this week, do not assume that's always going to be the case going forwards. Every year Apple keeps us on our toes and mixes it up.
I was going to say the same, Apple haven't actually said why as far as I know, so people are just presenting assumption as facts, which is a flawed point.
MacOS tends to come out a little later most the time (like an hour or so), so it could be weekly, but just not out yet. From memory though, I don't think MacOS went weekly when iOS did last year. Never say never though.....
I didn't get a notification. I was expecting it to appear later today. Downloading now on both iPhone + iPad
So, with Apple supposedly doing an event on the 7th September, we can expect the iOS 16 RC that day as well, based on the past times.
There’s was 2 weeks between last beta and the RC last year, meaning that developer beta 7, expected next week, could be the last beta…… there’s a slight chance we might get DB8 though.
What’s going to be interesting is iPadOS. If it really is coming in October, will it stay weekly betas? That could see us going to Beta 13 or higher!

Also, a month from today we may have an official release of iOS 16 to the general public. 😀
It has all the logging, feedback app removed, etc. It was a few build higher too. Otherwise not too different
Looks like I added too many weeks here! I think the schedule still generally holds (but substitute Mondays for Tuesdays). This would mean that there is no awkward 2 week period between the last beta and the RC.
Yes, that's what I meant. Developer only, or Public? Can't find it; don't have developer profile. Thanks!
