If we're talking about the first gen AVP, of course it's happening. All the rumors point to Apple ending production sometime around the end of the year. In it's current form, the demand is simply too low for it to be a viable product. Doesn't mean that Apple won't try again with a cheaper, worse version (like the Homepod), but this one is not it

The answer is almost certainly: because they never intended to today (if it does not land later today).
Everyone who thinks there is drama at Apple about whether to release any particular piece of software or not is likely very mistaken. They decided on the schedule months ago and unless something very seriously goes wrong, they release it when they decided to release it.
Welll of course. Every piece of hardware is deprecated at some point.
My point is that Apple is not going to leave this market with its tail between its legs in defeat (which is what the other posters were clearly hoping for). This is just the beginning and the hardware will obviously improve. Might take a long time but it will happen eventually.

Did anyone ask the Simpsons when the RC was coming? They seem to predict things right all the time.
Very confident indeed. I guess this means it will come today, like in 50min…
macOS beta 4 showed Safari, system FW, Darwin Kernel, and ATV/Music all changing, it was why I anticipated another beta 5 before the RC. But Apple could lock down a RC seed and optimize that alternatively. That and the immediate week after Thanksgiving might make for a seeding even happen Thursday. That also implies 18.2 going public middle of next week possibly. 18.3 beta comes after that even.
With us being after a holiday, I wouldn't rule out the 1 PM Pacific timeslot. I think it is an outside chance, but it is a chance.
So maybe it will drop in 14 minutes? I think I do recall a time it dropped that late in the day.
FINALLY!

“The iOS 18.2 RC will likely drop tomorrow, and tomorrow is likely Wednesday.” - Mark Gurman
That’s what he said yesterday..
He can’t even keep track of the day of the week, he thought Tuesday would be Wednesday, it’s worse than I thought! 😂🤣. (I put it in quotation marks, but he didn’t actually say that, I was just mocking him because he’s so darned “cautious” with his leaks now that he basically “leaks” things that are woefully obvious, like tomorrow being Wednesday). 👍🏻😂
We just have to follow Tim and not Gurman, do we even know if Tim is back in California?
