iOS 18 release date: When to expect the public launch

As the iOS 18 beta continues, Apple's still investing time into fixing up iOS 17. Compared to iOS 17.4 and iOS 17.5, which both had over 30 new features and changes, iOS 17.6 is a relatively small software update for iPhone. But there are still some important things to know about.

Apple’s new AI features for the iPhone may not arrive with the initial rollout of iOS 18 and the expected launch of the iPhone 16 in September, according to a report from Bloomberg. Instead, the company reportedly plans on launching Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1 in October as it works to get the rollout right.

iOS 18.1 Developer Beta Released With Support For Apple Intelligence

After two years of silence about its AI developments, Apple finally shared its latest projects with the public at its annual developer conference, WWDC, in June. At the event, Apple unveiled various features that will significantly impact your device experience -- but only if you have one of the newest iPhone models.

Apple has issued updated 4th beta versions for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. The new build is 22A5316k. It’s unclear what the purpose of the newly released 4th beta build is, but given it’s small size and quick release, it’s reasonable to assume it’s either a bug fix or security patch.
