My bubble has been burst.
I don’t see why they would wait 3 days to release 18.2. I think they’re trying to get it out as soon as possible, and I don’t think there’s any need to test it for 3 or more days if all that changed with RC2 were security fixes. As I previously said, Apple releases security fixes all the time with no beta testing. I still think they’re releasing 18.2 today or tomorrow. And @gwhizkids agrees with me, which is a good sign! 👍🏻Have a look here, guys, it has been a minimum of 3 days between RC2 and public releases so far:
Got a new case today so I hope we will also get the public release today and I can start my next day with a fresher phone.
I am not saying it cannot happen today, just giving you a historical perspective. 😉 I guess with the previous RC2 Apple were also trying to get it out as soon as possible.
Day 3, according to their counting, will be tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 Dec, but Apple are welcome to beat their previous records, of course.
chances of iOS 18.3 beta 1 today? I have a feeling that today is the day.
Closest I could find was 15.2 RC2 release on Friday Dec 10 2021 and final on Monday, Dec 13 2021. Effectively one business day.
We'll find out in an hour

Got a feeling it’s no bueno for public release today, but god I’d forgot about iOS 5.0, that was a slog, and back when you really rolled the dice on a Beta’s stability!😰Have a look here, guys, it has been a minimum of 3 days between RC2 and public releases so far:
RC2 actually has more than security fixes and contains various bug fixes. Zollotech has a full video on what changed in RC2
So much nothing as far as knowing what RC2 changed did other the build. At least I pointed out that Darwin kernel was a lot newer. He was reading from SDK notes you see in feedback assistance inbox. Have to wait for public release before Apple documents the security patching as usual for this point release. This update install ran a lot faster because of its smaller size compared to first RC.
A day later is possible, but I am definitely not hedging my bets towards today, more likely tomorrow, but it would just be nice to show when Apple is okay releasing 18.2 to the public.
17.2 was released on Dec 11th. 17.3 beta 1 was released the day after. Maybe we'll see the same dates this year.
That's Zollo techs special skill. Making 10 minutes videos about a new update with zero changes.
I'm thinking Thursday (for the final iOS 18.2 release) and 18.3 maybe next Monday.
Seeing as RC 2 only came out yesterday my guess is tomorrow 18.2 public release and Thursday 18.3 beta 1
Yeah, if it’s minor differences between RC 1 & RC 2, Apple might have released yesterday on top of RC 1 as new build.
Yes! It's that time of year where folks start complaining over a holiday week off about not getting a new beta to fix an issue released in beta 1
It’s that time again
If you've been burned by this before, you know.
That’s exactly how I feel every time I feel optimistic about a beta release, and then nothing comes out, lol! 😂🤣. But I just can’t help being so optimistic! 😂🤣
It’s that time again
It’s quite possible we may see iOS 18.3 beta 1 tomorrow and iOS 18.2 public Thursday.
