Apple is working on iOS 18.2.1 for iPhone, and it has started showing up in logs online.
iOS 18.2.1 and iPadOS 18.2.1 Updates for iPhone and iPad Shows up in Logs, Could be Available for Download Soon
According to MacRumors, Apple is already testing out the new iOS 18.2.1 update, and it has started showing up in their logs.
Given the version number, it’s safe to assume that this is nothing but a bug fix release, and it may even patch some security vulnerabilities if there are any.
At the time of writing, iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 aren’t the finest of releases from Apple either, and they could use a couple of updates for refinement.
With the Magic Keyboard connected to my iPad Pro, I’ve noticed the software keyboard pop up from time to time whenever I hit the return key to send a text message in the Messages app.
It’s one of the most annoying bugs I’ve seen in a long time. Thankfully, a restart fixes it for an extended period of time, but only temporarily.
Hopefully, Apple is going to fix this bug as well.
Given it’s Christmas this week, it will be interesting to see when Apple will release this update. If it releases it tomorrow, it will be the right time for it, ensuring everything is nice and smooth for iPhone and iPad users on Christmas Day.
However, it’s likely Apple may release the update after the holidays and then start seeing iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 betas on a regular basis too.
