Now we can get excited for 18.5!! Maybe if we are lucky they will include new exciting features like changing the font of a UI element, or moving a setting around! So exciting!!

No compelling reason for 18.5 now. Only bug fixes. 😁Now we can get excited for 18.5!! Maybe if we are lucky they will include new exciting features like changing the font of a UI element, or moving a setting around! So exciting!!

The most compelling reason
Oh come on, there are plenty of good reasons for iOS 18.5. There is still potential for new features, and definitely bug fixes.
And here’s what I don’t get. I see people whine and moan that we need a “snow leopard” update that introduces no new features and focuses only on bug fixes for an entire year, yet then those same people say “there’s nothing left compelling in iOS 18”. This makes no sense… 🤦🏼♂️
Personally, I’m sure we’ll probably see some minor new features in 18.5, perhaps some new Siri Shortcuts actions, and new Control Center controls. Who knows.
And maybe Gemini as an alternative for ChatGPT.
Looks like the X.5 betas will be coming sooner rather than later.
waiting for watchOS 11.4, today maybe?
as for 18.5 beta 1 could be today also
as for 18.5 beta 1 could be today also
Also curious if we get betas today or next week. I am going with next week, but let's hope I'm wrong.
Usually the beta 1 is older than or at least the same as the latest stable version (in regards to when they were compiled), so it is unlikely to fix any bugs present in the stable version that soon.The most compelling reason
I think this week, and I don’t think they’ll waste time either. Maybe today or tomorrow. If they’re just prioritizing bug fixes for the rest of the iOS 18 cycle, the updates will keep rolling.
Next weekLet's go with the predictions, will it come out or not?, that's the question.
I would like it to be today, but anyway at this time nothing has been lost yet.
