iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[Populus]

macOS RC2 just dropped…

…nothing for iOS yet.

Maybe we’ll have one… in 15 minutes?

 

[mattburley7]

i think iOS 18.4 and others might just have a newer build next week when they go public... no RC2

macOS was the exception

 

[drak22]

I don't know what serious problem the RC has on MacOS that requires a second one, but I don't think it's more serious than sudden reboots for some iPhone users. From what I've seen in the RC thread, Apple is aware of the problem, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a second iOS RC later today or tomorrow.

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

Every release of iOS 18.x so far has had a higher build number than the RC or RC2 so it's quite probable we see that next week.

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

RC 2 is out.

I used to be the first one to say that save for a few exception, Release Candidate was typically the release code. Seems that is no longer the case.

 

[Broken Hope]

This one doesn’t say release candidate and has full release notes at least.

And you still can find severe bugs in there.. so better do a RC2.

Always strange that these severe bugs didn't happen in the betas. But in software development and with software releases you never know. Maybe some developer thought, it was wise to do a code refactoring and released some bugs with it... I speak as a product manager of a software team. I can feel the pain. And I know this happens. It should not happen of course, but it happens.

... downloading RC2...

but it has - for a first time since long - a full description... (Sorry for the German...) - I like the term "
groundbreaking AI technologies" the most

Now that we are done with the groundbreaking, we can move on to the burial.

Weird, out for iPad, too..

I will first check the "Find My" re-boot/re-spring" issue

So far promising. No crash even after stress-using the app

 

[yeahtyeaht]

I think there’s a possibility for a today release

 

[metsi]

AI and iPhone Mirroring are server side enabled, right? So even if it’s released today, it would be enabled in the EU automatically tomorrow without the need for another update?

iPhone mirroring isn’t coming to the EU.

Agreed

 

[mattburley7]

they said early april release but today is close enough no need to drag it out till its actually april since there wont really be any further changes to 18.4 at this point. time to move on to 18.5

 

[iSuzan]

And now we Europeans also have summer time, so again we have to wait an hour longer until we will know! 😅

I was to write about the same. It'll be 8pm in Germany when they release it.

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

I wonder if Apple had planned for tomorrow to be the big Siri release given all the marketing for Apple Intelligence has April 1st in the marketing. I know it’s also the founding date of Apple but given we are seeing a release this week I do wonder.

The USA changed on March 9th , so I believe it will be 7pm .

exactly - we should be back to 7pm in Europe CEST+1 and lost the lovely early 6pm slot ...
