Apple aims to gradually roll out its AI feature for the iPhone, which could delay some major features in iOS 19. Apple Intelligence is great, but the slow release prevents users from getting too excited because some features rather clever and premium of the platform are. still missing from the mix. While Apple has released a developer beta of iOS 18.3, check out when the company will release the final version of the update for all compatible iPhone models.
Apple will potentially release the second iOS 18.3 developer beta this week, which is in line with last year’s update schedule.
iOS 18.3 will be a major update, bringing new improvements and updates to Apple Intelligence for iPhone. Currently, the update is in beta stage, which means the company will take its time before releasing it to the public. To know when Apple will release iOS 18.3 update for iPhone, we need to look at past trends for iOS 17.3 beta versions.
Apple released the first beta version of iOS 17.3 on December 13, 2023, which is more or less similar to iOS 18.3. The second beta was released on January 3 last year and the third developer beta was released on January 9, showing that the company has taken a consistent turn when it comes to the release cycle of the beta version. The iOS 17.3 release candidate was released a week later on January 17, and the update was finally made public on January 22, 2024. This shows us the company’s schedule for updates, which are generally published at the same time. order and within a similar time frame.
In the case of iOS 18.3, we can expect a similar schedule, but the exact release date could be different. Previous beta builds also show that the company will release the second beta version of iOS 18.2 this week or next. If the second beta is scheduled for next week, we must consider that Apple is a little late if it wants to follow its usual release cycle. The company typically releases new software updates on Monday or Tuesday, but we’ve seen in the past that it also releases its latest iOS versions on the last days of the week.
We believe the company will release the second beta of iOS 18.3 this week, and if so, the final release will happen more or less the same day as last year. If the company decides to wait until next week, then the update could arrive a little later than January 22.
iOS 18.3 will be a major update, which will include a changed icon for the Playground app, bug fixes for the Writing Tools API and Genmoji, a dark mode for the Camera Control menu in Accessibility, and much more . We’ll let you know when the update becomes available to the general public, so stay tuned.
