iOS 18 Speculation Thread

This beta cycle regarding macOS, iPadOS and watchOS has been pretty ... meh. iOS is okay I guess, but nothing special too. Not much drama aside from the Apple Intelligence features and the EU "block" "gate". Let's see what the future holds. Maybe some features will be pushed up from .1 to .0 and from .2 to .1 😬
What was the „drama“ with 17? Or 16?
Seriously, what do you guys expect? Reinventing the whole operation system on a yearly basis?
All we ask is for Siri to be reinvented after a decade. But that is something expected in January to March 2025 supposedly.
And don't forget, that is only for 15 pros and up.All we ask is for Siri to be reinvented after a decade. But that is something expected in January to March 2025 supposedly.
Fingers crossed 🤞
that the RC resolves the heating issues while using safari or other apps - and beta logging stops, right?

maybe I'm oversensitive but it feels like Ios 18 is not ready for the release in 12 days. Seems like they need to clean up some things
Honestly, the last several years I’ve been kinda shocked when the RC is released and iOS XX.0 is deemed “good to go”. This year is no different.
The first public version is usually decent but as you can imagine, less stable than the "last" version of the previous outgoing iOS version. That said, the RC will likely be a few builds ahead of B8, and the public will even be more builds ahead. Further, 18.0.1 will probably follow quickly thereafter and be several builds ahead of the RC. Last year, we received 17.0.3 about 2 weeks after iOS 17 was launched to the public, which was 31 builds ahead of the RC, which is pretty significant. Most folks won't install the newest update for 1-2 weeks and that by that time I would argue the newest iOS version available to the public is fine for daily use.
the public/final release use to be the same build as the RC
Not always. iOS 17.0 RC was 21A329 and then the public build released was
021A331 (2 builds ahead). 3 days later we received 17.0.1, which was 21A340 (9 builds ahead). Further interesting is that last years’ new iPhones were released to consumers on a different version of iOS 17 with 21A327, likely because software was installed before the software was finalized since it was “older” than the RC.
9/9 not so far away now.
I hope 18.1 beta 4 comes out the same day, if not the next day.
So 18.1 beta 4 comes out today, is that so @Realityck?9/9 not so far away now.

Sure hope B4 comes out today, there are occasional lag here and there with this current build on my 15 Pro. Still feels more fluid and faster than iOS 18 B8 though, just the occasional lag.
There should be a more steadfast stream of new AI features in the .1 betas. I’m surprised that Apple didn’t ramp up the release cadence of the .1 with every week introducing a new feature that was announced at WWDC but won’t be launched with the regular releases next week. It’s painfully slow IMO
Yep. Unfortunately I think we will see more features in 18.2 betas
9/9 not so far away now.
I hope 18.1 beta 4 comes out the same day, if not the next day.
At this point I see 18.1 b4 on Tuesday the 10th.
While I’m not expecting it at all, iOS 18.1 Beta 4 would be an awesome surprise today…
But, yeah, I’m thinking it’ll be on the 10th or MAYBE the 1pm PST / 4pm EST window on the 9th after the RC is released after the event.

So the RC is coming after the event on Monday, will it be the whole release - I mean will it be a huge gigabyte update for all of us coming from iOS 18 beta 8?
Well this sucks, doesn't look like we'll get B4 today
You even got a couple of nibbles with that B4 joke, not today, not tomorrow. As said 9/9 after the keynote or the next day.
You have been warned already. 😉
