The next significant update for **iOS** appears to be on the way, but don’t anticipate a revolutionary collection of features.

Apple’s forthcoming software version is anticipated to be **iOS 18.3**, following the recent release of **iOS 18.2**. Although the precise launch date and comprehensive feature list are still uncertain, historical trends indicate that iOS 18.3 might be available by late January. As per **9to5Mac**, the x.3 updates for the last three iOS versions have all been released around that timeframe, so barring any unexpected developments, this trend is likely to persist.

### What’s New in iOS 18.3?

At this point, only one significant feature has been disclosed for iOS 18.3, and it’s not exactly revolutionary: **robot vacuum control**. The update will enable users to handle robot vacuums via the **Home app**, akin to managing smart home devices like lights and thermostats. Notably, Apple doesn’t currently produce its own robot vacuum, though that **could evolve in the future**.

Beyond this, the iOS 18.3 developer beta primarily consists of **bug fixes and minor enhancements**. While it’s conceivable that more features might be introduced as the release date nears, substantial upgrades—such as advancements to **Apple Intelligence**—will likely be postponed until **iOS 18.4** or beyond.

For now, iOS 18.3 looks to be a more modest, incremental update, but it’s always beneficial to remain alert for any surprises as we approach the release date.
