Apple has begun beta testing for iOS 18.3, a minor update expected to bring new features and bug fixes to iPhone users. The release date is expected to be sometime in late January.
Key highlights of the update include support for robot vacuums in the Home app, allowing users to add their smart devices to HomeKit and control them with Siri. This feature aims to lay the foundation for future HomeKit integration.
In addition to the new robot vacuum support, iOS 18.3 also addresses two Apple Intelligence bugs and includes minor changes such as improved login functionality and icon updates.
As beta testing continues, it’s possible that more features will be added to the update. The next major Apple Intelligence features are expected in a future release, with iOS 18.4 likely to carry these updates.
