iOS 12 Release Date Tips & Tricks

The iOS 12 release date is just a few days away so it’s time to start prepping for its arrival.

Apple’s iOS 11.4.1 update is the final version of iOS 11. The company hasn’t confirmed iOS 11.4.2 and we don’t expect a surprise release with its next operating system this close.

iOS 12 is the next version of iOS for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and its headed out to select later this month.

Apple’s finally confirmed a specific iOS 12 release date and the new software will arrive shortly before the new iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs hit shelves.

iOS 12 Release Date

Apple has announced brand new hardware including three new iPhone models. The devices are slated to launch on September 21st (with pre-orders starting on September 14th), but Apple will release the iOS 12 update a few days before that on September 17th.

Apple is currently on the twelfth iOS 12 beta for developers and we expect the company to release at least one more beta before the official version is pushed to millions of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners around the world.

The final iOS 12 beta, the Gold Master (GM), arrives today. Once the GM is released, beta testers can try the final version of iOS 12 ahead of the official release date.

The iOS 12 beta will drag on for a few more days, but don’t let that stop you from preparing for the iOS 12 update’s arrival. There are a few things you can, and probably should, do before Apple makes things official.

In this guide we’ll go over some tips and tricks that will you prepare yourself, and your device, for the highly anticipated iOS 12 release date this fall.
