iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[TimFL1]

Anyone on 18.1 hoping for B2 will probably be disappointed. The cycles are most likely not synced.

It's worth noting that the 18.1 beta IPSW downloads are no longer posted on the developer portal.

Yes the software news listing has 18.1 gone at the moment.

It’s a bummer, maybe it’s cause by the immense interest in the AI beta and they want to stagger the releases. If it’s not accessible within the next 40minuts (8PM CET), my next bet is tomorrow 7pm CET.

Anyone running 18.1 seeing watchOS 5? I’m not pulling that one for some reason…..

Not seeing it yet

Nothing for me either.

Nothing for me either.

Wondering if 18.1 beta 2 is coming with watchOS beta 2 today, as iOS 18.1 beta 1 ipsw was pulled today.

 

[dcp10]

Same. Wonder if 18.1 users have been orphaned on beta 4 unti 11.1 beta hits? Anyone know the expiration date for beta 4? Anyone on 18.0 b5 see it show on their watch?

 

[SpecMode]

Not seeing watchOS 11 beta 5 on my Ultra running 11.0b4 or on my 15 Pro Max running 18.0b5 yet.

On a separate note, I'm also not seeing the 18.1 beta as an OTA option on my iPhone anymore — wonder if it's being shelved or merged back into 18.0?

I did say that I thought it would by be 2 weekly releases for 18.1 betas. The purpose is for Apple Intelligence testing, not for 18.0 stuff.

Yes we kinda knew that but was 😴 for iOS 18.1 beta 2 today. 😁

 

[arovik]

watchOS available now

 

[jpsmith76]

watchOS available now

Yup. Just showed up for me finally.

 

[jkel777]

Is the only way to downgrade from 18.1 to 18.0 to go back to 17, restore from the iCloud backup I have, then upgrade to 18.0 DB 5?

Apple software releases, I note SDK notes are not online yet for beta 5, also listings have both iOS/IPadOS 18.4 beta 4 have not been removed from listings even with all the beta 5 seeds. Then we have all the AI beta XX.1 seeds not listed presently. This all suggests that the site has yet to finalize what is occurring today. Local time 12:06 PM PST.

So there is a slight chance for something else today. 😁

Release notes often take quite a while to be updated after the builds are posted, so I wouldn't take that as a sign that something is up in the background.

If you want evidence why I think 18.1 beta 2 will be out this week, look no further than this article: https://stocks.apple.com/AZHyOvwsmTACxz6MQicCJQw
