Apple iOS 18.4 New Release Date: Major iPhone Update Is On The Way

The latest buzz around Apple's upcoming iOS 18.4 update has sparked considerable excitement online. Following the earlier release of iOS 18.3 in January, the company has been quietly pushing out smaller updates, such as iOS 18.3.1 and 18.3.2, to tackle various bugs and glitches. Now, anticipation is building for iOS 18.4, which is expected to debut in April.

According to the report by Mark Gurman, the latest beta versions of iOS 18.4, along with updates for iPad, Vision Pro, Apple TV, Mac, and Apple Watch, are now available. These versions are considered release candidates, indicating they are nearly ready for public use. Gurman notes that while there are minimal visible changes from previous beta iterations, these updates mark significant improvements over earlier public releases.

He also shares insights into what’s in store, highlighting key features that align with my own observations. “For iOS, the enhancements include the ability to see priority notifications in your lock screen and a new food section in News+. Apple Intelligence will work in several new languages, and there are additional music options in the Control Center,” he explains.

In fact, Apple has dropped hints regarding the release date, suggesting an early April launch. The rollout appears to be gaining momentum, especially with the second Release Candidate beta launched on March 28. The expected launch is set for Tuesday, April 1, at 10 a.m. Pacific time, though there’s also a chance it could arrive on Monday, March 31.
