iOS 18.1 will be officially available next week

Just yesterday Apple released the iOS 18.1 release candidate, which is nothing more than the last step before the official release of a major update. This puts an end to one of the beta versions that has caused the most stir in recent years. Especially considering that it is the first version to include the first features of Apple Intelligence, Apple’s artificial intelligence. A few hours ago, those from Cupertino confirmed to some American media that iOS 18.1 will be officially available next week. Although there is still no official date, we already know that this update is closer than ever…

October 28, probable release date of iOS 18.1

iOS 18.1 is one of the most desired updates among users, especially due to the integration of notification summaries, AI functions in the Photos app or writing tools powered by artificial intelligence. It is about the first taste of the full integration of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18. We have been doing betas since the end of summer and finally iOS 18.1 is closer than ever.

Thanks to The Verge already The Wall Street Journal we know that iOS 18.1 will be available next week as confirmed by Apple management members to these media. Furthermore, the opportunity will be used to launch the health news of the AirPods Pro 2 which were presented in the last keynote and are not yet available since a firmware update for these headphones was needed.

Everything seems to indicate that it will be the October 28 the day Apple officially releases iOS 18.1 although Cupertino sources have not confirmed the official release date. Remember, also, that this update integrates more new functions such as design changes and functionalities of the control center, call transcription and recording, or the opening of the NFC chip to third-party developers.
