As we recently reported, Apple released a second RC build of iOS 18.2 to developers and beta testers before releasing the update to everyone earlier today. Although the RC build is often the same as the one that becomes available to the public, this time beta users have another update to install on their devices.
New iOS 18.2 build available
That’s because Apple has released a new build of iOS 18.2 to the public, and this build is different from the iOS 18.2 RC 2 that was released to beta users on Monday. For comparison, here are the different build numbers:
- iOS 18.2 RC: 22C150
- iOS 18.2 RC 2: 22C151
- iOS 18.2 Official Release: 22C152
Similar to iOS, Apple’s other operating systems have also been updated with new builds different from the previous one available to beta users. For instance, macOS 15.2 went from 24C100 (RC 2) to 24C101 in the final release. The final build of watchOS 11.2 (22S101) is also different from the RC.
Although nothing significant has changed from one build to another except for bug fixes, it’s always important to keep all your devices updated with the latest software available.
Both iOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2 add more Apple Intelligence features for compatible iPhones, iPads and Macs, including Image Playground and Genmoji. As for watchOS 11.2, the update brings improvements to the Camera Remote app.
iPhone and iPad users can update the software by going to Settings > General > Software Update. On Mac, open the System Settings app, then go to General > Software Update. The process is similar on Apple Watch (the update can also be installed via the Watch app on the paired iPhone).
