 Shorebird is currently in alpha on iOS. Instructions for using Shorebird on
 iOS are available in the [Getting Started](/) guide.
 
-It is safe to ship with Shorebird on iOS. Please note there may be performance
-(currently slower than Android) and patch size (larger than Android) differences
-in the alpha product.
-
-We expect to reach parity with Shorebird on Android around October 2023.

-Commonly requested features on iOS and Android:
+We expect to reach parity with Shorebird on Android around Feb 2024. This has
+taken longer that we'd hoped, but you can follow our progress on any of the open
+issues for iOS [on
+GitHub](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aios),
+notably on [iOS speed](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/674).
+
+### Why is iOS Alpha?
+
+iOS is alpha for two reasons:
+
+- Our iOS alpha product is slower than our Android product. In testing, many
+  apps do not notice notice a difference, some feel a bit slower. Our internal
+  benchmarks suggest we can make the Dart code execute up to 100x faster than it
+  currently does in ios-alpha and we've built an new Dart runtime to solve this
+  speed issue, but it's not ready yet. We update our progress on
+  https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/674 every week and on
+  Discord https://discord.gg/shorebird every day.
+- We've seen a few few crashes reported from early users when testing this new
+  runtime. We're working with our early customers to resolve these issues. The
+  plan is to mark iOS "beta" as soon as we're comfortable with the speed, and
+  1.0 once we've seen enough deployments to know it's not crashing for anyone.
+
+## Commonly requested features on iOS and Android:
 
 - Self-hosting or on-premises deployments [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/485)
 - Asset changes (images, icons, etc.) [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/318)
-- Older Flutter versions (only
-  [recent stable versions](https://docs.shorebird.dev/flutter-version) are
-  currently supported)
   [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/1100)
-- Analytics [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/197)
 - Manual rollbacks (automatic single-device rollbacks on errors already work) ([issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/126))
 - Staged rollout of patches (channels or percentage based) [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/110)
-- Patch signing (patch hashes are already checked) [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/112)
-- Fastlane integration [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/257)
+- Patch signing (hashes are checked for download integrity) [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/112)
 - "Native code" changes (java, kotlin, etc.) -- not planned.
 
-iOS "alpha" specific issues (which will be resolved before production):
-
-- iOS apps built with `shorebird release ios-alpha` run Dart code [slower than
-  normal release builds](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/674).
-- iOS patches are proportional to the size of the app, rather than the size of
-  the change, and thus larger than patches on Android.
-  [issue](https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/675)
