Apple has released the first beta versions of iOS 18.3, MacOS Sequoia 15.3, and iPadOS 18.3, for users enrolled in the beta testing programs for Apple system software.
The upcoming updates are now in beta testing, and are expected to focus on bug fixes and security enhancements as usual. Some new features are likely to be included as well, with perhaps the most notable addition thus far being the introduction of Genmoji on the Mac.
If you’re actively enrolled in the beta testing programs, you can find the updates available through the regular software update channels.

When will iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and MacOS Sequoia 15.3 be released for everyone?
iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and MacOS Sequoia 15.3 will likely be available in January or February of 2025, after multiple rounds of beta releases have been tested thoroughly by Apple.

The most recently available system software available for Apple devices are the freshly released macOS Sequoia 15.2 update, and iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 update.
