Didn’t Apple say the Wi-Fi fix was coming as part of 17.2? Sure I read that on one of the sites. That would imply they’re not doing a point release to patch before 17.2 releases.
Edit: I was right, I did read it:

Some here just love the thought of bug fix releases (as the X.x.x releases are formally known).
To each their own.
Still interested to see which OS version the new macs are using. Would indicate when 17.2 is coming if it’s newer than 14.1.
True! It’s like as soon as a x.x or an x.x.x is released, instantly insistent a new x.x.x has to follow, regardless.
MacOS versions for point releases do not always have to tie in, so really, if you’re relying on what you say, that’s a fools errand.

I guess it’s always the fear that because it’s a beta it’s risky to use, but lots here find most betas, especially the later betas very solid even if you need to work around some added feature that’s brand new. Another thing to remember is the later beta cycles are based on even more solid public releases such as iOS 17.2 beta compared to the first few betas of iOS 17.0. Yes to each their own. 😉
I am currently using iOS/iPadOS/tvOS 17.2b1 and MacOS 14.2b1 on multiple devices just fine.
and what's funny is most of the time they never fix the issue that most are complaining about, so that's why they want the new one. I'd be fine if we didn't have an update till 17.2

In the UK they've already gone back, hence why I said 5:00pm GMT rather than 6:00PM GMT as we are past Apple's usual 10:00am release window no?
You’re thinking when the clocks go forward, we then get 5PM releases in the UK for a short while till the US changes theirs.
Yeah might be getting a bit confused! So are we expecting a "potential" beta drop in 10 minutes?

No. Most likely tomorrow at the earliest. Also its already 1 hour past normal release time.

The last couple of iOS x.2 releases were weekly, iOS 16.2/15.2 wrapped up 41 and 44 days respectively. A week would be on Thursday, but suspect it will be 6 days on Wednesday so they have ample time to get the PB out.

Also when the PB is the next day that is typically an indicator its on a weekly schedule as well.The last couple of iOS x.2 releases were weekly, iOS 16.2/15.2 wrapped up 41 and 44 days respectively. A week would be on Thursday, but suspect it will be 6 days on Wednesday so they have ample time to get the PB out.
15.2 and 16.2 beta 1 were both two weeks until beta 2.. am i missing something?The last couple of iOS x.2 releases were weekly, iOS 16.2/15.2 wrapped up 41 and 44 days respectively. A week would be on Thursday, but suspect it will be 6 days on Wednesday so they have ample time to get the PB out.
Nope your spot on.
