iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

Has to be today or tomorrow, they don’t usually release on a Friday.

For a problem like the FaceTime vulnerability, they'll release on Saturday if that's when it's done.

this isnt our typical update either. it could be out anytime, not necessarily 10:00 am. whenever the fix is ready to go.

Not considering the service is disabled.

 

[mattburley7]

im guessing an update for macOS will also be needed since it effects group facetime on the mac?

Unless it's something urgent/important in one way or another, which this might fall under (although might not given that the exploit itself is disabled for now).

 

[chillip]

lately they have been reporting updates.

Doesn’t mean they report all of them.

Or next week, as there’s usually a 2 week gap between beta 1 and beta 2

I meant for 12.1.4

Oh, Apple said a fix is coming later this week. And given they were able to disable Group FaceTime on their end as a temporary fix, there’s no rush. Really anytime between now and Saturday is possible, yes I know they typically don’t release software on Saturdays, but they do sometimes for critical bugs.

saturday is not a good idea to release an update incase there are any issues.

12.1.3 is not in the Developer site anymore ..Maybe today is the day

Interesting. have not seen anything about 12.1.4 being out yet.

 

[dan9700]

Not really excited about 12.1.4 it will only be a Facetime bug fix, hopefully 12.2 beta 2 comes soon

Not a good idea, but sometimes the need for the update outweighs that (whether or not that's the case in this situation is somewhat debatable).

I can verify. Good find! Probably soon.

 

[mattburley7]

im guessing tomorrow or friday.

 

[chillip]

I can third verify that 12.1.3 it’s not in the dev site so 12.1.4 is coming today.

 

[Mlrollin91]

I can third verify that it’s not in the dev site so coming today.

That’s a mighty conclusion you have there. Just because they pulled this update does mean one is coming today. It very well could come tomorrow.

Correlation =/= Causation.

12.1.3 is now back on the page 🙄

Same or different build?

SAME

Well, they released 11.2 on a Saturday, but granted it was also to fix a notification bug that was causing devices to restart repeatedly.

 

[mattburley7]

its probably not today. probably still testing to make sure the fix works.

I was speculating with a sound theory.

There was no speculation in your post. "verify ... so coming today."
