It’s been almost a month since Apple started beta testing iOS 18 with developers. This upcoming operating system update will bring several new features, including big changes to the foundation of the iPhone OS with redesigns to the Home Screen, Lock Screen, Control Center, and so much more.
With an official release coming in September, users are now questioning when Apple will release the iOS 18 public beta. Although we have no confirmation from Apple, here’s when you can expect it.
In previous years, Apple usually released a major iOS public beta update right after pushing out version three for developers. Here’s when that happened:
iOS 17 public beta was released on July 12, 2023
iOS 16 public beta was released on July 11, 2022
iOS 15 public beta was released on June 30, 2021
iOS 14 public beta was released on July 9, 2020
Other than the iOS 15 public beta, which was released in late June, Apple usually releases its first public beta around mid-July. With that in mind, it’s probably safe to say that the iOS 18 public beta is just around the corner.
