iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

[fantomcheung]

there’s no point guessing now. Clearly the software is ready. Depends on when apple wants to launch the card service.

Hopefully tomorrow! I need a new Mac and want the cash back!

Yeah for real. 3% doesn’t sound like a lot until you drop over $3k on a new Mac

Except I can’t wait much longer!

12.4 can launch before Apple Card is released

 

[M-Life]

Everyone still channeling their energy towards tomorrow? I've been meditating for 48 hours straight with that goal. I'm not even sure how I'm typing this.

12.4 can launch before Apple Card is released

Yes but I’m pulling for both at the same time.

there’s no point guessing now.....

Then why do we have the thread, fantomcheung?

Why, do we have, the thread?

12.4 can launch before Apple Card is released

The only time I can remember a feature being enabled OTA days after an update was iOS 11.2 with Apple Pay Cash, and they was only because they rushed the update out at 4am on a Saturday morning to fix a critical bug.

Beta 8 this week right?

 

[chillip]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a beta 8. But got to be final this week regardless of Apple Card.

 

[Julz0726]

Maybe today is the day??????

 

[Zsoo21]

Maybe today is the day??????

We hope so

 

[dan9700]

I think beta 7 is the final build obviously without the beta letter etc but it’s the GM it hopefully comes this week but I think they wanna release it with the official release of the Apple Card, even tho in the U.K. we have to wait to 2020

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

I don’t know. What makes you so sure. Lol

He's the shot-caller, obviously. I'm putting my money on this guy.

 

[Julz0726]

I think today is the day!!!!

Apple need to release this other wise they lose credibility

I'm sure they'll release it before the end of summer which is all they have actually promised for the Apple Card.

 

[mattburley7]

there could be a beta 8 or a release this week. its out when apple believes it is ready.

I think with back to school and the specials they are running it would e best if they gave people a chance to purchase with Apple Card

 

[M-Life]

Positive thoughts! We can get this done today!

10:30 seems to be the new release time, so about 3.5 hours.

It's going to take time for Apple Card adoption to ramp up. With a summer release of Apple Card I expect that Apple is actually targeting the holiday shopping season and not back to school.

 

[dannyyankou]

Apple: Apple Card will be released this summer.

*One month of summer passes with two months left*

Apple customers: If Apple doesn’t release this, they’ve lost credibility.

I get your point, but the idea of "summer" being the time between the Summer Solstice (June 21 approx) and the Autumnal Equinox (Sep 23 approx) is antiquated and mostly irrelevant today. "Summer" in the US is most commonly used to mean the time that school is not in session. Many Midwest schools start up in the next three weeks.

And that doesn't even get into meteorological summer, which varies from location to location.

I'm not attacking you in any way and I agree with your point that no matter how we cut it, there is still lots of time left for the card to be released.

Even with that definition, we’re still 42 days until Labor Day (many schools on the east start around that weekend). Plenty of time left.
