It’s been out for the last few days, I highly doubt any revised beta is coming for the other 18.1 devices. I think beta 4 will either be next week or maybe the week after.

Because it wasn’t seeded for iphone 15 pro devices, I don’t think it’s a revised build, it just a last min seed for only the non-shipping iPhone 16 models, more of a question of why bother?
Are we expecting release on Monday then?Crap
Apple this week announced the new iPhone 16, and the new phones will come with iOS 18 installed. The update is also coming to previous iPhone models next week, but this first release doesn’t include Apple Intelligence features. For that, Apple is running tests with iOS 18.1 beta – and iPhone 16 users will be able to update to the beta from day one
Looks like beta 4 next week.

I highly doubt Monday. I’d say Tuesday at the earliest. If not the week after (Week commencing September 23rd).

Release of what? iOS 18? Absolutely.
The next beta of iOS 18.1? I suspect it will arrive on Tuesday.
Sorry should have been clear, I meant 18.0 not 18.1!
I thought we might expect 18 to drop on Monday and then 18.1 on Tuesday.

I agree the week of the 23rd is more likely. Why release beta 3 for the 16 if beta 4 is released before launch day?

Exactly, a bit rubbish if that is correct as were still running on pre 18.0 RC code and haven’t got any of the cool stuff shown at the keynote.

Probably for the YouTubers, I think Apple wants them to review them with the ai stuff.

I feel sad about how this week has gone with the 18.1 beta. Disappointed and hurt.
I feel like we are now on old code that doesn’t work well and it’s not helping Apple find bugs anymore because it’s so old.

I'm curious.. now that the phone is landing on Sept 20, how many of us will go back to the stable channel? I'm debating it, but THIS year the beta channels have so much more to offer (early AI features)
Conventionally, I'm in the stable channel on my Apple platform until the new iOS/Mac/Watch/TV betas land.. but this year, it's kinda different

I’ll be going back to the 18.0 channel with my new iPhone 16 Pro… I always hop off the beta train when I get the new phone. I’ll jump back on next summer for the iOS 19.0 betas.

I’m currently on the RC on my Mac, Apple Watch, HomePod mini and Apple TV And on the beta 3 of 18.1 on my iPad and iPhone and I’ve been strongly considering going back to 18.0 when it releases, but I don’t want the hassle of downgrading and restoring my data (even though I’ll be doing it next Friday).

Or Monday 19th, its not like dev seeding is that much of a load without any PB participation.

I’d be shocked given the size of the other downloads and the number of people who will be downloading them.
It’s quite possible Apple has different servers for ota beta downloads. So load won’t be any issue.

Look guys if there is even anything next week (as Apple has already released an updated beta for iPhone 16s) it won’t be until Tuesday at the earliest, however I’m growing more and more doubtful for next week. Hopefully I’m wrong as this beta is growing more and more buggy by the day.
