Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Milestone identity

A March 5 report said Apple supplied build 12D508 as a final GM to employees and carrier partners. This archive preserves that limited-distribution report without converting it into a confirmed registered-developer seed.[1]

Indexed evidence

This page indexes 7 bounded occurrences. Every title and explanation is original synthesis, and each claim points to the retained evidence family that supports it.[2][3]

Evidence limits

The route identity is third-party reporting and remains explicitly qualified. Apple’s later public notes confirm the listed feature state, while the March 9 public route stays owned by the approved public batch.[4][5]
