When will iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and MacOS Sequoia 15.4 be finalized and released to everyone?
Only Apple knows the precise timeline for new versions of system software, but it’s reasonable to guess that iOS 18.4, MacOS Sequoia 15.4, and iPadOS 18.4, could be released this month in March.
Apple usually goes through several versions of beta system software before issuing a final release to the general public.
