Coming Soon: Public Betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and More

Get Ready for the Latest Software Updates from Apple

Public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, HomePod software 18, and watchOS 11 are expected to be released soon, giving users a chance to try out new features and provide feedback to Apple before the official releases later this year.

Apple typically releases public betas of its new operating systems a few weeks after the initial developer betas are made available. This allows the company to gather feedback from a wider range of users and identify any potential issues before the final versions are released. It's important to note that public betas may contain bugs and other issues, so it's not recommended to install them on your primary device.

Those who wish to participate in the public beta program can sign up on Apple's website. Once enrolled, you will be able to download and install the public beta versions of the new software updates when they become available. Apple usually releases new beta versions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

The upcoming iOS 18 update is expected to bring a number of new features, including a redesigned lock screen, improved notifications, and new health tracking features. iPadOS 18 is also expected to receive several new features, including a new multitasking interface and improved support for external displays. macOS Sequoia is likely to bring performance improvements and new features to Apple's desktop operating system, while tvOS 18 and HomePod software 18 are expected to bring new features to Apple's streaming devices and smart speakers, respectively.

The release of the public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and other operating systems is a significant milestone in the development process. It gives users a chance to experience the new features and provide feedback to Apple, helping to ensure that the final versions are as polished and bug-free as possible.
