Gurman also reports a process change for iOS 28, macOS 28 and friends. Apple splits each year’s OS work into three stages. Normally each stage is four weeks of coding and four weeks of “convergence,” where features get integrated.
What changed
For the first stage of iOS 28, engineers got six weeks of coding, exploration and feature work, and only two weeks of convergence. Employees reportedly like it because it leaves more room to try ideas before locking things down. No iOS 28 features were named. The beta should arrive in June, with release in September next year.
My take
More time to explore lines up with Ternus pushing to move faster. Less convergence time could mean rougher early betas, so I’ll be testing iOS 28 on a spare device first.
God Bless, and Happy hacking!
