Traditionally, Apple releases the first beta version of iOS to developers shortly after the important WWDC conference in June.
The public beta is usually released about five weeks later, to coincide with the release of the third developer beta. This program ensures that the public beta version is more stable and suitable for installation on mainstream devices.
In recent years, Apple has followed this program:
-
iOS 17 Public Beta: July 12, 2023
-
iOS 16 Public Beta: July 11, 2022
While there’s always a slim chance Apple will adjust the timing, fans can expect the iOS 18 public beta to arrive in mid-July.
