I have a few crucial scripts and plugins that won't work with 16.2.1, so I can't use them at all until I get 16.3. The sooner they can roll it out, the better. I'm dying over here!

We can only wait. There is no any concrete dates.

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

Thanks. Can you provide more information on when the rest of the world will have access? Specifically, the United States.

Really strange because I have the 16.3 update on MacBook (Intel) but it is not showing on Mac Mini (M1). Same Adobe Id on both.
