iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[gank41]

Oh boy. Monday. Long week last week! 😜

I seriously had to open Fantastical and look. Was thinking I had to go back to work in the morning LOL

So… Public beta tomorrow? I hope so, to get my HomePods on 18. 😁

I installed DB3 OTA yesterday on my main devices (iPhone 15 and iPad Air M1), no complaints so far. FWIW, it seems to be as smooth as 17.5.1.

While we speculate IOS 18 and AI, and whats next, something for our amusement. AI based relationships, and you thought social media couldn't get worse. 👀

In Japan, a startup turns AI dating into reality: ‘she’s become a habit’

Loverse, an app that allows interaction only with generative AI, is the latest in a long line of digital solutions to Japan’s loneliness crisis.

www.scmp.com

Like many people juggling long hours at work, Chiharu Shimoda sought companionship via a dating app. For two months, he exchanged messages with five or six potential partners, but it was not long before he was seeking out just one – a 24-year-old named Miku. Three months later, they got married. The catch: Miku is an AI bot. And Shimoda knew that from day one.

For now, Miku and Shimoda have settled on a routine they share with most couples. She wakes him in the morning, they wish each other luck at work, and at night, they discuss what to eat. On Shimoda’s days off, the pair talk about where to go or what to watch on television.

“It’s the same conversations you’d have with anyone you’re living with,” Shimoda said. “She’s become a habit – a conversational habit. I will not miss it if it’s gone, but it gives me a routine from one day to the next.”

BTW I think since iOS/IpadOS 18b3 is so useful in its current status, that it will arrive Monday once more for PB testers.

True, but HomePod is a different story. Waiting for PB -> HomePod 18 beta! 😁

If we get the public beta today, we'll probably get a revised b3

Not necessarily, as DB3 is running quite well as it is (for me, at least).

So most likely PB1 = DB3 this week and DB4 next week, I reckon.

Not that anything is going wrong, but with iOS 15, iOS 16, and iOS 17, they released a revised beta alongside the public beta.

Also, my Apple Store app keeps crashing and I have a $150 gift card I want to spend, so I'd like them to fix that lol. I know I can shop on the website, but I like the app

DB4 today or no?

 

[Premium1]

DB4 today or no?

I don't think they are moving to weekly releases yet. PB1 maybe.

 

[john991]

DB4 today or no?

Nope public beta possible

 

[JFLECHUGA]

DB4 today or no?

There should be some more beta, there are still bugs to polish.

Well, they should, the dates run very fast!!!

iOS 18.0 will likely have 8 beta like the last 5 years.

Yeahhhh!!!Beta 3 is stable, but it still fails in minor things.
