The quick turnaround suggests Apple is now in a refinement phase, focused on stability and performance rather than new features, as it prepares for a public release. This stage is typically when developers should watch closely for bug fixes and polish that will define the final experience of features like the revamped Siri app and AI-powered Shortcuts.
