iOS 18 Speculation Thread

It's more logical for Apple to lock down the iOS 18/iPadOS 18 feature set then bundling a public release with the brand new AI features for hardware that supports that. Even releasing the iPhones 16 with an early beta of AI is not productive for convincing consumers. It has to be as good a marriage as possible for Apple Intelligence to impress people.

PSA: iOS 18 is going to disable your old ‘Today’ view widgets - 9to5Mac
Apple is planning to end support for legacy widgets on the iPhone’s ‘Today’ view when iOS 18 debuts this fall.

With this, I don’t think you can hold Apple to the objective they set. I’m sure they’re going to do everything they can to hit it but if they have to choose between an incomplete product and holding it up, they’re going to go with holding it up.
They left themselves wiggle room right from the startSaying is not what is currently stated online.
You are misreading that. They said it would be shipped as a beta with iOS 18. iOS 18 will arrive in the fall. So this remains correct.Saying is not what is currently stated online.
Well they said summer before, so I think we all agree seeing is believing.
They never said summer. This is a public facing page and it’s always said fall. Because iOS 18 was always destined to be released in the fall.Well they said summer before, so I think we all agree seeing is believing.
You have to distinguish between the betas we’re on now and Apple Intelligence being released publicly as a work in progress, i.e., as a capital B “Beta”.
But they’ve clearly said Apple Intelligence will be in ‘developer beta’ in the summer, in that sense. Yes; they’ll still consider in a Beta when 18 debuts alongside new hardware. They’ve also be vague enough on what features were coming when. Like Siri, parts of new Siri and Apple Intelligence were said to come in a beta “during the summer” with additional features later.
As I was saying. Beta for at least developers this summer. Release of initial features with iOS 18 in the Fall (or very last day it two of summer), right before the new iPhone ships.

That’s for the public release of iOS 18, that the oublic will get it in beta.Saying is not what is currently stated online.
At WWDC it was indicated devs would get it later in the summer.
We will see, as things can change.
I think the op means iOS PB. Everything came out but an iOS public beta today
I hope so! Maybe it might come out in a few hours, and they are managing the beta servers so they don't get overloaded. We can live in hope!
Yep, Sorry - just digged too deep into Sequoia updates ...
