I think Apple’s lost their mind or they’re just tryin to mess with us speculators.
Interesting. I just went ahead and toggled all my dictionaries I had enabled to off and then toggled them back on and it did redownload them. I hope this fixes it. Thanks for letting me know.
Interesting I went and looked at the dictionaries and they were downloading automatically.
Now I need a new phone!
Thanks Tim!
Thanks Tim!
IMO it's going to be an either or tomorrow. If we get beta 6 we aren't going to get 18.0.1 this week
Unfortunately, it just respring again. So that did not fix it I'm afraid...uggg so annoying.
Thankfully there will be an iPhone 17 next year for you to buy
It’s bizarre and seems almost unprecedented that we haven’t had any update in the 16 days since the initial iOS 18 release.
What if iOS 18.0.0 was the final release and they’re already working on iOS 19 🤯
They need to fire whoever is team lead on these latest betas.
21st. This delay doesn't mean things are coming sooner. Just means confirmation that there are things discovered that need to be fixed before the next beta.
I will say the stability and polish of iOS 18.0 has been far above previous years IMO. So if there is one year to go awhile without fixes, this would be it. Perhaps it was intentional as well.
iOS 19 dev beta 1 next Tuesday?
Given that you have zero idea whether the next beta is actually delayed (versus you thinking it's delayed because it didn't come out when you wanted it to), doesn't that seem a bit harsh? I get enthusiasm, but wishing an employee ill because they didn't meet your expectations is a bit over the top.
That’s a thoughtful angle on the whole thing. I can accept they’re taking time with the updates if it’s really to assure quality first!
I wonder two possibilities:
1. Apple is going to surprise us with genmoji in 18.1 instead of 18.2. The UI elements already seem to be in place so maybe this will help spur iPhone 16 sales. The betas that have been released this week are all the non- AI ones as some else pointed out earlier in the thread.
2. The new October products will be a press release rather than an event (unlikely I know, but still...) and they are preparing the RC instead with all the goodies for the new machines for announcement next week. After all, gotta boost those sales numbers for the usually best quarter of the year and if iPhones sales aren't cutting it then the sooner the Macs come out the better the sales numbers will be...
However, I suspect there are just some troubling issues that they are trying to nail down and they want to avoid bad press even on the betas.

If we use the iPhone 16 example, the build that shipped with new phones was slightly different then July 28 beta 8 18.0 which means it could have been selected a week to almost 2 weeks before it went to the devs.
IMHO the delays are more likely related to the issues with M4 iPad installing being interrupted is likely causing increased QA with 18.1 iPadOS beta 6 and they are also carefully screening the other likely MacOS beta 6 candidates for future M4 usage for the 2nd half of October.

Any chance for a 1pm pacific time release today…? 🤔
Have to really forget about this for a while now.

There's always a chance for that, yeah, as truly unpredictable as that could be.
