Delays in iOS 18 update rollout could impact the release of some iOS 19 features next year: Report
India TodayApple's methodical approach to rolling out features across iOS 18 versions may be causing a ripple effect on its future software updates, according to a recent tweet from Apple analyst Mark Gurman. This delay could possibly also mean that iOS 19 won’t be as feature-packed upon its initial release, as Apple’s engineers might need to prioritise completing projects that were initially slated for earlier delivery. If Gurman’s prediction holds, iOS 19 could adopt a similar phased rollout strategy, with some features delayed and introduced through later point updates like iOS 19.1 or 19.2. Apple's phased rollout strategy has been evident with the iOS 18 cycle, which included significant updates such as new privacy tools, enhanced AI-driven features, and user interface tweaks.
