Apple has pushed out iOS 18.7.7 RC and iPadOS 18.7.7 RC for iPhone and iPad users, with build number 22H333. According to the source report, this release arrives 141 days after the previous Beta or RC build in the same branch, making it a notable check-in for users still following Apple’s 18.x update track.
The report says users in the public beta channel can install the release candidate after registering for Apple’s Beta Software Program, then going to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Developers can get the same build by signing in through the Apple Developer Program and updating through the standard software update screen.
IT Home notes that detailed change notes weren’t available at the time of posting and says the article itself was published automatically, with fuller update details expected later. So for now, the main confirmed information is the build number, the release-candidate status, and the update timeline that shows how this branch has evolved over time.

That means this release is less about flashy new features and more about pushing the iPhone update and iPad update branches one step closer to a final public rollout. As usual with an RC build, it’s the kind of release many testers watch closely because it often signals that Apple is nearly done with this round of stabilization.
