Great…I chose now to update my apps. I saw the iSoftwareUpdates guy posted something about WatchOS and now I have to wait to see if there’s more.
Got a tip for us?

But watchOS 9.6.1 confirms no ios 17 release today.

Release notes seem like it's addressing a specific Watch issue so maybe no updates for other platforms.

I think apple should stop with these watchOS 9.6.1 updates, I think most people are on iOS 17 beta 5 so they should release the beta 6 today not flipping watchOS official minor updateGame over! Tomorrow it is. Dang! K.O'ed. 😕

Tim warned me not to make any silly posts, I just couldn’t help myself, the bait gwhizkids tossed out was just too delicious to pass up! Blame him! ☺️🙃🥸

Let’s be honest, the betas could still drop in an hour or so….

You do realize that maybe (maybe) 1/2 of 1% of iOS users are on the betas. And probably only a tenth of that on WatchOS.
What exciting feature are you waiting for in iOS 17 beta 6 that is more important for Apple than fixing a serious bug or exploit on the Apple Watch ….FOR 99.9% OF YOUR USERS?

Who said it might be Wednesday around here 😆😂

The big question now is if the other OSes get the X.x.1 treatment and if they need to patch the betas. So we might get the dreaded 17.0 beta 5 rev 2 later today. Or they’ll patch beta 6 with whatever needs patching and get that out tomorrow or Thursday.
My new beta installation policy:
builds ending a-d, install dev beta after reading your feedback (I thank you for your service 😀)
builds e-g, install public
builds h-j, install public beta, maybe
builds k+, hard pass
Obviously I won't stick to it, but it's nice to have a policy to break. I suppose there's still a few hours left today...

Crazy that a trillion-dollar company can't release multiple OS updates in one day....

I‘m sure they can. Maybe they don’t want.
Some technology practices are independent of company capitalizations.

No difference in builds from Dev to Public - same build numbers. So not sure why you’d change about.
And I wouldn’t take much notice of the letters, I’d be much more concerned about the beta number. 1-4 are notoriously buggier and quite unstable. 5-7 then RC typically get more stable.

Apple should of released a weekly cycle so today it should be out beta 6 then next week beta 7.

I think the servers in Cupertino need to cool down after pumping out that watch update, Tim was laughing about it and making fun of the guys who have to fan the hamsters on hot days.

iOS 16 vs 17 beta cycle
Beta 1 - both were 16 days
Beta 2 - both were 14 days
Beta 3 - 16 was 20 days, 17 was 21 days
Beta 4 - 16 was 14 days, 17 was 12 days
Beta 5 - 16 was 8 days, 17 were at 7 days
The cycles are almost identical, which means most likely tomorrow or Thursday.

So, you’ve ruled out a Wednesday release, despite that happening almost as often as a Tuesday?? Also we’ve seen Thursday and Friday releases before.
Claiming it’s not going to be this week 8 minutes into the first likely day of the week that it’s coming next week, is a bit weird. Also we’re on weekly now.

Yeh, but no, but yeh, but no, but yeh.
Pfft. B6 will get here when it get's here. In the meantime, go to the pub with the lads. Watch some footy, take home a burger and give yer missus what for over your 60 inch OLED.

Guys! This week is not over yet it's just started. Now I have a feeling, tomorrow seems likely. I don't want to wait until Thursday.
@Pearsey was right all along. He did mention his sneaky suspicion it will be on Wednesday.
Beta 6 being dropped next week = 0% chances. Tomorrow is the day?
