Another iOS 18 Update is Coming Soon, Says Leaker

[MacRumors]

Apple is preparing to release another minor iOS 18 update for the iPhone, according to information shared by an anonymous leaker today in a post on X. The leaker has a private account, and they request that we do not link to their posts, but they have proven to be a reliable source for upcoming iOS versions.

Specifically, the leaker said they have seen evidence of iOS 18.6.2 with a build number of 22G100. However, in a private message, they said it is possible that the update will simply end up being a revised version of iOS 18.6.1.

A similar situation played out last year, when the leaker said iOS 17.5.2 was in the pipeline, but Apple ended up releasing a revised iOS 17.5.1 build for the iPad 10.

iOS 18.6.1 and watchOS 11.6.1 were released last week. Those software updates re-enabled the Blood Oxygen feature on Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 models sold in the U.S., with calculations now happening on a paired iPhone.

In any case, the update coming would likely include bug fixes and/or security patches, or perhaps some minor tweaks to the re-enabled Blood Oxygen feature.

iOS18 ... otherwise known as "the iOS I plan to be on for a long time still".

Seems a little silly to keep updating an OS that’s eight versions behind.

Exciting!

I’ll bet there will be a new update to
macOS Sequoia at some point in the not too far off future too.

Classic way to make things obsolete and turbocharge iPhone sales.

My AirPods Pro 2 are distorting every minute on the phone since updating, so hope this is one of the things it addresses.

Exactly. I plan to install the current build of 18.6.1 (22G90) on all my devices before Apple releases this 22G100 build. Why? Because it’s proven to be reliable, smooth, and efficient with good battery life.

Then, if the upcoming build 22G100 turns out to be even better, then I’ll update to that “to stay there for a long time”

Apple should realize how we crave stability, performance and responsiveness from a system such as iOS. And focus on that kind of experience.
