Apple today seeded the second betas of its upcoming iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 updates to developers for testing. The new betas come three weeks after the first betas.
There’s no word yet on what’s included in iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, although there doesn’t appear to be any new Apple Intelligence features in the betas. The update is expected to bring support for robot vacuums in HomeKit, but no notable changes were found in the first beta. Additional Apple Intelligence Siri functionality is expected in the iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 updates.
Apple Intelligence features require an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model, iPadOS 18.2 requires an iPad with an A17 Pro or M-series chip and macOS Sequoia 15.2 requires a Mac with an M-series chip.
iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 testing started in December, so the updates will likely be released sometime in late January.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver iPhone or iPad. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
