You can now download iOS 18.3 final IPSW links and OTA update as well as final version of iPadOS 18.3 for iPad. Here are the details on the release.
The release of iOS 18.3 final comes a few weeks after iOS 18.2.1 was released earlier this month to fix various bugs found in iOS 18.2.
As for iOS 18.2, it brought second-wave of Apple Intelligence features after iOS 18.1 brought first-wave of AI features to iPhone and iPad users. While iOS 18.3 was expected to bring third-wave of Apple Intelligence features, those seems to have been pushed back to iOS 18.4 and instead with iOS 18.3, Apple has decided to fix some issues related to notification summaries, Visual Intelligence and more on iPhone and iPad.
Here’s everything new in iOS 18.3 final version according to Apple:
Visual intelligence with Camera Control (All iPhone 16 models)
- Add an event to Calendar from a poster or flyer
- Easily identify plants and animals
Notification summaries (All iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max)
- Easily manage settings for notification summaries from the Lock Screen
- Updated style for summarized notifications better distinguishes them from other notifications by using italicized text as well as the glyph
- Notification summaries for News & Entertainment apps are temporarily unavailable, and users who opt-in will see them again when the feature becomes available
This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
- Calculator repeats the last mathematical operation when you tap the equals sign again
- Fixes an issue where the keyboard might disappear when initiating a typed Siri request
- Resolves an issue where audio playback continues until the song ends even after closing Apple Music
