Apple Is Taking Extra Care With ‘Ambitious’ iOS 18 Update
Apple’s recent software development delay underscores the need to get ambitious 2024 updates right. Also: Initial thoughts on Apple’s latest MacBook Pros and iMac, and what an M3 Ultra chip could look like.

Awful lot of speculation for someone not a OS interested party.If Gurman is right, hold on to your hats for iOS 18!

Hopefully a good beta 3 this week before they go for holidays
Hoping for 17.2ß3 this week!
You will most definitely get it. They should be on a weekly schedule now... Only question is which day this week?
Be great if they could pick a day and just stick to it. The jumping around is a bit of a pain.
So far both 17.2 betas have been released on a Thursday.
However 16.2 beta 3 was dropped on a Tuesday. 😁
Not sure why you think it is a pain. You only need to check Settings>General>Software Update 5 times per week. That‘s nothing compared to the 5 times an hour we all check email. Also Apple release a beta when it is ready rather than when it suits us. To me quality is more important than regularity.
A lot of the bugs I encountered in the first beta were solved in the second, so that’s nice. One thing that I noticed in the current beta for iPadOS 17 is that when you’re using stage manager, if you click the app icon in the dock for the app that you have open, it will show all the windows for that app, along with a plus button to add additional windows! 👍🏻. This is so much easier than right clicking to click the “Show All Windows” button in the right-click menu.
Fells like it could be today, but then Thursday would make sense… you watch it drop Wednesday.
I wouldn't be surprised to see beta 3 on Thurs then skipping next week. Followed by an early week release come during the week of the 27th.
Skipping a week doesn't make sense at this stage of development, unless something goes wrong there's a show stopper bug.
Seems like Apple would maybe want the earlier betas out on a late week day like a Thursday, then folks have all weekend and such to mess around and find problems.. Later in the beta cycle, earlier in the week seems to make more sense so that they'd have the rest of the week to work on those issues.
I know that's not the case, just thinking out loud I guess.

Only suggesting the week skip because Thanksgiving is next week. I don’t recall if we got a beta last year for Thanksgiving week.
