Almost a week after the release to the general public a iOS 18.2, Apple has opened a new beta cycle for future versions of the iOS operating system. The new iOS 18.3 Beta 1 for developers doesn't currently offer much information about what new features it will bring, but we can get an idea based on the new features introduced in iOS 18.2.
iOS 18.3 beta 1 has the build number 22D5034e and is intended primarily for iOS app and game developers, with a public beta currently unavailable. In fact, at this moment there is no known exact calendar of the upcoming iOS 18.3 beta 2 update, nor the date when this version will arrive in its final form, intended for all owners of iPhone devices compatible with iOS 18.
All we know at the moment is that iOS 18.2 brought a significant number of changes, introducing new features and apps to compatible iPhone devices, and iOS 18.3 will continue to develop these. Apple Intelligence bringing Genmoji, Image Playground and ChatGPT integration with Siri, will definitely be developed in the new iOS version. Also, the Camera Control functions and the new format for sorting messages by category in the Mail application will receive improvements.
Here are the main features of iOS 18.2 that we are very likely to see updates to after iOS 18.3 beta 1:
- ChatGPT Plus support for integration with Siri
- What's new in the Mail app in iOS 18.2. Sort messages into categories and personalized notifications.
- Remove people, objects and other elements from photos, directly from the Photos app (Apple Intelligence).
- Image Playground – a new application where you can create images with the help of artificial intelligence.
The final version of iOS 18.3 is expected to be released in January, followed by iOS 18.4 in March or April. From the experiences so far, the spring releases bring substantial news. It is not excluded that iOS 18.4 will also bring new features and interesting applications to iPhone devices.
