Apple Unleashes New Wave of Public Betas: macOS Sequoia 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, and Beyond

Apple Releases Public Betas for macOS Sequoia 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, and Other Software Updates

Apple has released new public betas for its current lineup of software platforms, including macOS Sequoia 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, tvOS 18.5, watchOS 11.5, and HomePod 18.5. Notably, there is no public beta available for visionOS 2.5 as the Vision Pro has not yet joined Apple’s public beta program.

Key Points:

• Minimal Visible Changes: Early testing of these updates shows little in the way of new features. The only notable change so far is a menu option to revert to the old Apple Mail look.
• Focus on Stability: It appears that Apple is prioritizing under-the-hood improvements and stability over new user-facing features in these updates.
• Public Beta Caution: Due to the lack of significant changes and the potential for bugs, users in the public beta program may want to hold off on installing these updates for now. Later betas may introduce more features and reduce stability issues.

Upcoming WWDC:

• Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June will unveil major new versions of its operating systems, including iOS 19 and macOS 16. These upcoming releases are expected to bring significant changes and new features.
