iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[2761216]

There can’t be a watchOS beta without iOS beta. So there’s still hope.

At this rate we’ll see iOS 18.3 b3 about midnight Eastern time.

HomePodOS 18.3 beta 3 dropped today also.

Public beta also seems to be out now.

It has happened before.

Not sure that is necessarily true. The WatchOS beta will require whichever iOS build the developers have programmed into it.

There’s dependencies so iOS will be later than watchOS but not the other way around. Don’t think that has ever happened before until now.

I don’t see them listed on the public Apple releases site. Are the WatchOS and TVOS builds A?

 

[gwhizkids]

Wondering if they are patching something, hence the staggered roll out as they finish each platform's version?

Yep.

watchOS - 22S5550a
tvOS/HomePod - 22K5553a

The existing iOS beta (2) has successfully installed the new watch beta (22S5550a) on my Series 7. So don’t hold your breath waiting on iOS beta 3

Why I said until now

Why I said until now

I noticed the 180° switcheroo.

There have been same/similar instances in the past. For example, watchOS 10.5 RC 2 had no corresponding iOS update. Even with public releases, watchOS 9.5.1 and 9.6.1 had no corresponding iOS update.

 

[gwhizkids]

I thing it’s reasonable to say that will get an iOS 18.3 tomorrow. Or we won’t get one at all and it’ll be 18.3 RC next week.

You make it sound like I just stole your will

There is suddenly no choices under "beta updates" in "software update" settings. Maybe apple is revamping the "update rings". Could we see a 18.4 beta start earlier than the 18.3 release?

The developer downloads page is undergoing maintenance.

Seems it's back.

Something is going to happen.......

 

[arovik]

beta section is completely gone from "software update" settings now

Sadly not for me. Still get the maintenance message when navigating from develop/Downloads.

Feedback app on iPhone fails to refresh with an error message.

Something going on in settings iOS update. I’m missing beta option!

Ah, yeah. But this works: https://developer.apple.com/news/releases
