iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

[gwhizkids]

I gotta assume that with TV OS getting 12.2.1, well at least see a 12.2.1 for iOS before 12.3.

My guess is that the TVOs 12.2.1 was a bug fix. I just don't see Apple reaching back and rolling out a 12.2.1 for iOS unless there is an issue that can't wait for 12.3. Not their typical way of doing things.

Is the glass half full or empty.

Both are right. Depends on your perspective.

Not quite the same thing.

I'm not very excited about the Watch updates:
- Downloading and installing too slow
- Watch Series 3 always so slow and buggy like before

It depends on what chipset you have. I noticed AW1 was pretty slow, 2+3 were nominally faster with installs and download.. YMMY IMO

iOS 12.3 beta 3 today? (Or still on a 2 week cycle)

Probably still on a 2 week cycle.

2 week till beta 4 I think, this should go out in mid may for final

Given the fact that we are on Beta 2 since 1 week, that's cryptic. So you say beta 4 will be there on april 29 (2 weeks from now), and so, beta 3 would be next week and then on 1 week cycle?

Apple has been releasing the betas in one week increments after the first beta. But who knows such things if this will continue like that.

I think beta 3 will still be a 2 week wait, next week beta 3 then maybe weekly from there, but I wouldn't say beta 3 until at least 2 weeks I could be wrong tho

Actually, they have been on a 2 week cycle for the first 4 betas, for most rounds of releases. That gives us beta 3 on or around 4/22, beta 4 on or around 5/6, beta 5 around 5/13 and beta 6/likely release candidate around 5/20. Final release week of 5/27, or 1 week before WWDC.

I guess it was the last beta I was thinking of. But Apple can be consistently inconsistent.

Oh, no doubt about it. And nothing surprises me anymore. But this seems like the right path.

With release at WWDC

Apple said it would be available in May. WWDC is June.

There's no way Apple is going to release this alongside the iOS 13 beta. It would be lost in the limelight and getting people on the TV app is too important an initiative to allow that to happen, in my opinion.

Very true.

Next iOS 12.3 beta Tuesday? (Since Monday is a holiday)

Monday is not a Federal Holiday. Nothing is closed.

 

[AMTYVLE]

Monday is not a Federal Holiday. Nothing is closed.

In Canada Monday is.

Large unionized manufacturing companies are closed. That said, I think it will drop Monday.

 

[Mlrollin91]

In Canada Monday is.

Not sure how that's relevant to a California based company?

I don't know. Just stating a fact.

 

[gwhizkids]

Hey it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere!

 

[gwhizkids]

To the usuals: Yes, most likely.
