RC2 dropped for visonOS so maybe a RC2 for iOS soon?
Why? Another RC is dependent on what is impacted a particular OS not all of them. ;)


The update a day later addresses the following
fixes an issue that could cause Apple Music songs and music videos to fail to play

I'm leaning toward next week after the full release of 18.1. It would be great to see it today, but I have many doubts about that.
 
Oh yeah, of course. Sorry i thought the RC release was the Official of 18.1. My bad. Of course its next week.
Well, technically the RC is the same as the full release. However, I think Apple wants to fully release 18.1 before focusing on the 18.2 beta.

Although I suspect you’re correct, we have no way of knowing what Apple is thinking here. We had no inkling, for example, that 18.1 would be released in beta prior to the release of 18.0.

Oh yes, I completely agree with you. I'm telling myself that we won't see the 18.2 beta, so I won't be disappointed if it isn't released this week, lol. However, we cannot truly predict what Apple will do. It's been quite a journey since WWDC.

yeah i just meant into the wild officially.
Yes, we are in the uncharted territory of Apple’s unknowns. I found the interview with Craig Federighi with the Wall Street Journal to be quite intriguing. While he didn’t provide much information, it’s evident that Apple is determined to achieve its goals. At least we can be certain that they aren’t simply throwing a bunch of AI features out there and seeing what sticks. It appears to be a highly calculated approach.
