You can now download and install iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 RC updates for iPhone and iPad devices right away.
Apple Releases RC Build of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, Download and Install it Today by Signing up for the Public Beta
iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 final updates are set for release later this month. This means the RC updates have dropped at the most precise moment – right now.
If you are already running any iOS 18.3 or iPadOS 18.3 beta on your device, just go to Settings > General > Software Update in order to install the RC version.
The RC update is essentially the final build that is seeded to developers and public beta testers a week early. However, you can download it on your device by simply signing up for the public beta.
I’ve covered how to sign up for the iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 public beta right here.
But, if you don’t want to read through it all, just sign up for the public beta by going to beta.apple.com and then go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates and enable the public beta from here.
Once you do that, just go to Settings > General > Software Update, and the RC will show right up.
Why wait for next week when you can have it all right now? I knew you would agree to that.
iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 are mainly bug-fix releases with very small changes. It’s an important update for all users, and you should look forward to the final version next week.
Once the final version of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 is available next week, Apple is going to start seeding iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 betas with the promised Siri improvements.
That’s right, folks. Apple is not done with its Apple Intelligence rollout, and there’s more to look forward to.
Though the new Siri won’t be as smart as ChatGPT, you can expect it to be far more useful than previous versions of the assistant, which is definitely worth looking forward to.
The real changes will start to emerge once iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are available later this year, so stay tuned for that.
