🤣 it’s quite possible beta 4 is ‘the public release’ and we see iOS 18.3 beta 1 today. Then iOS 18.2 public next week.

This has happened in the iOS 18’s beta.
It better not be. Battery life is still a dumpster fire and there a bugs all over the place, especially when you try to use Mails new setup and try to view a message that is a day old or older.
 
Beta 4 has a lot of visual glitches, so let’s hope it’s not final
They would have made some changes in the builds since beta 4 was release. So even if they release public today it would be a diferent build with a bunch of fixes. They already know a lot of the bugs included in each beta release.
 
The beta’s been very stable for me… 🤷🏼‍♂️
I have never had a beta as stable as a decent final release
Whatever background logging processes they do leads to a very unstable experience within a few weeks no matter what the average day to day experience is like. It just doesn’t stay that way. UNstable.
I only install RCs now if possible
