I wouldn’t write off an 18.5 beta 1 release this week, but I’m keeping my expectations in check for next week or week after. 👍🏻. I hope for a release this week though, that would be nice. 👍🏻

New build, one build newer than the RC. They said yesterday that this was going to be the build, I don't know why they didn't release it.
 
Yeah I think 18.5 beta this week is practically guaranteed. The only reason the first 18.4 beta was delayed were the AI issues. Other than that, I believe every b1 has come the same week as the last public release.

If I had to guess, Apple is probably just focusing on debugging from here on out, and iOS 19 will have the long awaited Siri features.

I don’t like to gloat, but my instincts have been pretty good this beta cycle!

With the knowledge that all of the highly-anticipated features are coming in iOS 19 (or beyond), it definitely took the steam out of this release that many of us were looking forward to since last Fall… ah well. I guess there are many, much larger issues in the world than software updates.
