My iPad Pro only sees beta 7. I removed the device from the beta program a month ago, but it still sees the betas. Rebooted several times. My iPhone 7s, and two older iPhones upgraded to 10.3, as well as another iPad. Why is the iPad Pro different?

You've got to imagine they're doing a slower rollout than usual for this somewhat major change. The first .01% requests might get it until they know there aren't 11th hour "in the wild" problems, then they'll jump it to .1, 1%, 10%, and eventually 100%.

When you remove the device from the beta program, you have to re-install from scratch by restoring from a non-beta version. If you had stayed on the beta program, you would now be upgraded to 10.3 automatically. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/restore#ios https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/restore#ios

  That's untrue. You can upgrade to a newer release version if there is one. (source: just did this today with 10.3) You only need to restore if you want to downgrade to a release version when you are on a later beta.

    I have a device that I unregistered from the beta's and it never picked up a newer version, I had to manually restore it.

      I upgraded to beta 7 then it let me upgrade to 10.3. Since I was initially in the beta, I probably couldn't make the jump to the GM directly.

        Sounds sane. Otherwise upgrade scripts would have to be exhaustive for beta1->GM, beta2->GM etc. So now there's 10.2->10.3 and beta7->10.3, much more manageable.

      I had the same issue but a manual reinstall wasn't necessary. I believe the problem was that in the developer > profiles menu there is a certificate for beta updates that needs removed. Something along those lines.

        That is correct. You have to unregister yourself and remove that beta profile.
