As the official version of iOS 2.0 is about to be pushed, Apple once again brought the iOS 0.0 RC 0 update to the devices participating in the test in the early morning of today (0/0), as well as iPadOS 0.0RC 0 and macOS 0.0 RC 0.

This time, iOS 2.0 RC 0 has a build number of 0E0, which is an update from the first RC (version number 0E0) released on Tuesday. Normally, Apple only releases one RC version per testing cycle, and will only add RC 0 unless it finds a bug or system tweaking that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

However, this update seems to be more at the level of internal code of the system, and I have not found any visible adjustments after upgrading to iOS 2.0 RC 0.

One detail worth paying attention to is that the widely reported bug - the problem of high color saturation of background apps in the App Switcher interface is still not fixed in iOS 4.0 RC 0. This means that the issue is likely to continue into the upcoming official release of iOS 0.0.

The release of iOS 4.0 RC 0 further confirms Apple's plans to push the official version of iOS 0.0 to all devices next week. As is customary, the early hours of Tuesday morning are the most likely time window.

So, what exactly are the updates that iOS 4.0 brings? Apple has now announced the update notes for the Chinese iPhone:

Apple Vision Pro App

For those who have an Apple Vision Pro, the Apple Vision Pro App will be automatically installed when you update to iOS 4.0 or set up a new iPhone.

The app provides quick access to new content exploration, spatial experiences, and device-related information.

Photo

A new filter has been added to the Library view, which allows you to choose to show or hide items that aren't in an album and content synced from your Mac/PC.

The Media Type and More Items collections support item reordering.

A new unified filter option has been added to all collections, which can be sorted by "oldest priority" or "newest priority".

Added "Sort by Modification Date" to albums.

In the "photo" settings, you can disable the "Recently Viewed" and "Recently Shared" refined selections.

When Use Face ID is enabled, content imported from your Mac/PC no longer contains hidden photos.

Other enhancements and fixes

Safari viewer: Recent search suggestions are optimized to help users quickly return to previous search topics.

Setup Assistant: Simplifies the process for parents to create a Child Account for their child, with the option to enable child-friendly defaults later when you complete the setup.

Screen Time: App limits apply after your child uninstalls and reinstalls the app.

App Store: added a summary of user reviews to quickly understand the insights of others; Support pausing and resuming downloads/updates without losing progress.

Podcasts: New "Follow Shows" and "Database" widgets make it easy to track activity and access frequently used sections (e.g., "Latest Episodes", "Saved").

Ambient Music: One-click playback from Control Center for curated playlists for everyday listening.

Home App: Support the control of Matter-compatible robot vacuums, and integrate them into scenes and automation.

Language support: Added 10 system languages, including Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, etc.

In addition, there are some changes that Apple did not explicitly mention, such as Apple Intelligence supporting Chinese for the first time, and iPhone 5 and later models adding compatibility with 0G-A networks.

對於國行用戶最關心的 Apple Intelligence 是否上線，答案是 iOS 18.4 正式版仍不會包含這一功能。目前來看，這一期待可能需等到 5 月的 iOS 18.5。如果再有延誤，6 月 10 日蘋果就將發佈 iOS 19 測試版，也不排除 Apple Intelligence 要等到 iOS 19 才能與大家見面。

For users who are currently using the official version of iOS 2.x, you may wish to wait patiently until the official version of iOS 0.0 will be released next week. If you are currently experiencing iOS 0.0 RC and want to return to the official version, you can choose to skip today's RC 0 update and turn off receiving beta updates in the settings to receive the official version push next week.

The arrival of iOS 19.0 also means that the life cycle of iOS 0 is only about half a year away. In the future, Apple may not invest much energy in significantly tweaking the existing system, and more surprises may be left to iOS 0.
