iOS 18.2.1 won't offer features, just fixes

In the meantime, iOS 18.2.1 provides information via update traces in the scan logs. It is a minor update that will not bring any features.
iOS 18.2.1 was designed to fix bugs. The release is scheduled for the end of December or the beginning of January although the most likely option is of a deployment to end 2024 is the most likely. Beta testers and developers already have access to this version. As for iOS 18.3, there is a good chance that its release will take place early next year.
Since the release of iOS 18.2, many users have reported concerning bugs like excessive heat generation.

It is possible that iOS 18.2.1 optimizes Apple smartphones at this levelespecially the oldest ones which are much less equipped for this technology.
Before the release of iOS 18.2.1, Apple conducts internal testing on its own devices. The method allows developers to identify and then correct critical errors before public deployment.
