Apple’s public beta releases coming soon

New public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, tvOS 18, HomePod software 18 and watchOS 11 expected to arrive shortly

As a member of the Apple Beta Software Program, you can help make the next releases of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and HomePod software our best yet. With public betas, you get a sneak peek at the latest features and can provide feedback directly to Apple to help shape the future of these operating systems and make them the best they can be.

Apple will release a public beta of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 in July. For now, the update is only available to developers for beta testing.

In addition to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, Apple is also planning to release public betas for macOS 13, tvOS 16, HomePod software 16, and watchOS 9.

The public beta is a great way to get early access to new features and bug fixes, but it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not finished software. There may be bugs and other issues that can affect your daily use of your device. If you’re not comfortable with that, you may want to wait for the final release of each operating system.
