Apple has finally released the iOS 18.3 update to the public after three beta updates and a release candidate build. The new update arrived on time, as expected. It includes new AI features and some regular features for eligible iPhone models.

Talking about eligibility, iPhone Xr and newer models are eligible for the update. Recently, Apple revealed the adoption rate of iOS 18, and it is expected to rise with the third major iOS 18 update.

Apple also seeded updates for other devices, including iPadOS 18.3, watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3, macOS Sequoia 15.3, iPadOS 17.7.4, and visionOS 2.3, alongside the iOS 18.3 update.

The iOS 18.3 update comes with build number 22D63, which is different than the release candidate build number. Consequently, there might be minor changes in the public build, but everything else must remain the same.
