iOS 18.3 Release Imminent

Apple's iOS 18.3, primarily focused on bug fixes and performance enhancements, is expected to release soon, following a beta testing schedule similar to iOS 17.3. While not a major feature update like iOS 18.1 or 18.2, it addresses issues with the Writing Tools API, Genmoji, and Feedback app login. It also introduces robot vacuum support in the Home app and tweaks the Image Playground app icon.

Expected Release Timeline

Based on the previous year's timeline, the iOS 18.3 beta 2 is anticipated this week or early next week, followed by one more beta and the Release Candidate. This suggests a public release is just around the corner.

What's New?

  • Robot vacuum support in the Home app.
  • Updated Image Playground app icon.
  • Bug fixes for Writing Tools API and Genmoji.
  • Face ID/Touch ID login for the Feedback app.
  • Dark mode support for the Camera Control menu icon in Accessibility settings.

Looking Ahead to iOS 18.4

While iOS 18.3 is a minor release, Apple is expected to introduce major new Apple Intelligence features with iOS 18.4, projected to enter beta testing later this month and release publicly in March or April.
