iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[jsamuels]

Got 18.1 Beta 4 OTA on a 15 Pro here - 973.1 MB

Me, too. Rome, Italy.

 

[Pug72]

Beta 4 is here !!!!!!

Logic still stands but I’m glad I’m wrong. 3 weeks is a long time.

They wouldn’t have released a beta for 16 series last week if they’re gonna drop a new one for everyone.

And watchOS 11.1 beta too.

All devices. Not just AI compatible

Finally

All devices. Not just AI compatible

So. iOS 18.2 coming soon for iPhone 15s and 16s. 😁

Guys, it's out

Argh. No 18.1 Public Beta so far. I had my hopes up.

 

[dannyyankou]

Ok, I own it, I was wrong lol. But this is slightly disappointing because does that mean when I get my iPhone 16 PM on Friday, I won’t be able to update to beta 4?

 

[drak22]

Definitely, this beta cycle is not like all the others hehe
And I don't know why, I think there are still more surprises waiting for us haha

 

[LutzRFrank]

... good ... now hammering the macOS update servers starts for me

 

[Realityck]

beta 4 is universal, installing on non-AI iPhones.

 

[dannyyankou]

This didn’t age well

Never underestimate reverse psychology haha

beta 4 will be available for iphone 16 too

lol I love when people in this thread say things with such certainty as if they have a clue about what Apple is doing or is planning on doing lol. makes it so much better when they are proven wrong.

 

[TL24]

Finally!!!! B4!

 

[LutzRFrank]

off-topic here ... but nevertheless good news

 

[gwhizkids]

I bet beta 4 is today

Ding ding ding!

 

[gwhizkids]

Guys, I said it before… no beta until next week. They released beta 3 for iPhone 16 models on Friday. They’re not going to do that only to release beta 4 right before the iPhone 16 is released.

This theory never made any sense. Sorry…

To devs

• iPadOS 18.1 beta 4 (22B5045g) - September 17, 2024

And they made a mistake lol. They have iPhone 16 plus listed twice. I think one of them is supposed to say 16 Pro Max.
