Exactly when the new major iPhone update will land

The next major Apple iPhone update will be iOS 18.4, unless there is a bug track exercise to solve a recent software problem, an iPhone 16th problem or a slight nuisance with Apple Intelligence before that. Apple almost never says when an update arrives, but this time, she dropped many clues.

First month: April

I announced the news in February that Apple had quietly revealed that iOS 18.4 would be published in April, thanks to an update from the editorial room on another product, Apple Vision Pro. One element of this version confirmed that the iPhone software was planned for the release in April.

Now what a part

We can pinch it more. Apple had previously declared that additional languages ​​would be supported for Apple Intelligence, but had not said which version would include it.

However, the IOS 18 page at Apple.com has information, buried in a footnote: “Additional and Chinese characteristics (simplified), English (India, Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil) and support in Spanish language available at the beginning of April, with more languages ​​coming during the year, including Vietnam. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages, ”he says.

At the beginning of April, huh? It must surely mean the first semester, right? I mean, I would say that anything from April 12 would count like mid-April, but let’s not be picky. What means, exactly?

Apple iOS 18.4 Apple release date

This is a major update in the middle of the planned cycle and Apple still plans to publish them on a Monday or Tuesday. The company recently tends to go to Mondays, which gives us a narrow range of dates.

The sooner on Tuesday, April 1, which is less than two weeks old, but we are not entirely advanced in terms of beta versions to suggest it – the fourth public beta is the current situation.

Which leaves on Monday April 7, Tuesday April 8, Monday April 14 or Tuesday April 15.

The joys of not making an advertisement is that Apple on the room of maneuver to move things towards and including the release date, so that things can change.

I The first of these two weeks is very likely and although Tuesday April 8 is quite possible, I think it will be Monday, April 7.

Not long to wait.
