Apple moves on to next betas of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, visionOS 2
Apple’s beta software is now available for developers to test.
Apple has released the third round developer betas of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and tvOS 18 for watchOS 11 and visionOS 2. Apple Intelligence is still not visible. The third round of Fall System Update builds follows the second round, which was released on June 24. The first version was released on June 10th, after the WWDC keynote. Apple runs two different developer beta tracks at the same time. The other is Apple’s current operating system, which includes iOS 17.5 etc. The third developer betas for iOS and iPadOS 18 have the build number 22A5307f, replacing the previous 22A5297f. Apple’s third build number for tvOS 18, up from 22J5305e, is 22J5315e. The third developer beta of watchOS 11 is 22R5309f, replacing 22R5299d. The third visionOS 2.0 beta developer build is 22N5277g, while the second was built 22N5267g. Apple confirmed that the second version included iPhone Screen Mirroring and SharePlay upgrades. Apple confirmed the news in response to reports that it might not offer Apple Intelligence or other major operating system features to European Union users due to Digital Markets Act requirements for interoperability. AppleInsider recommends that users do not install beta or RC versions of software or test operating systems on “mission critical” or primary devices. There is a small chance that data could be lost. Instead, testers should use secondary or non essential hardware and make sure they have enough backups of critical data. You can find any changes in these new builds.
