First Look: iOS 18.5 Beta Brings Subtle Enhancements for Early Adopters
Apple rolls out the first developer beta for iOS 18.5, hinting at potential minor updates before the major leap to iOS 19.

iOS 18.5 Beta Release Apple has released the first developer beta version of iOS 18.5, just after releasing iOS 18.4 to the general public. This release is not expected to include any major new features, as most of the planned updates for the iOS 18 cycle have already been shipped and development for iOS 19 is underway internally.
What to Expect
- Minor Updates: Similar to last year's iOS 17.5 update, which included minor additions like News+ game integration and cross-platform tracking detection for AirTag-like products, iOS 18.5 may also bring some small surprises.
- Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements: The focus of this beta release is likely to be on bug fixes and performance improvements to ensure a smoother user experience.
How to Stay Updated
If you have any tips or find anything new in the beta, you can send them to 9to5Mac. A full roundup of changes will be posted if significant updates are discovered.
