I see you are privy to Apple’s internal release scheduling calendar since you know that the RC is delayed.
Well, a handful of outlets were saying that the anticipated general release was December 9, so it would make sense for the RC to be out this week.
 
It is wild that it's Wednesday and there is no RC out. I wonder if the general release is going to get pushed out? iOS 18 feels like such a mess to me.

All Apple ever said was December. Those outlets are just reporting on rumors because there is no actual news. Most of them are just repeating what Gurman said and Gurman is frequently off on his dates. Could still be the 9th. But could be the 31st too.

would they do a Thursday release or is looking like next week?

i dont see anything happening today now
 
Listen in my book they have 10 more minutes to redeem this fiasco.

I get this isn't that important for many of you but a lot of us spent $1000 on devices and we expect to be supported with software on time

you can't throw out a beta and then never service it unless you hate your customers

this is the kind of stuff M$ used to do with service packs

On time? Apple doesn't guarantee beta release dates... it's a beta. There's no missed deadline here. 😆

What a load of nonsense. Completely disagree with everything you’ve been saying tonight.

You sound so bitter and twisted I'm shocked you bother to have an Apple device if they are so nasty.

iPhone 16Pro bought in British Pounds.

we can disagree to agree but I paid a lot to have Apple Intelligence RC and with holiday season here are they going to give us refunds? I doubt it.

Right, but certain outlets had internally had indications the 9th was the date. Typically apple uses a week or 4 days to do testing ahead of a final deployment. But given the quality of software from apple since summer, this is why I suspect issues and none of our iPhone 16 PMs run very smoothly on beta 4 or before with stuttering etc. 15 PMs no issue at all.
