The first public beta of iOS 18 has been released by American tech giant Apple, along with beta versions for iPads, Macs, and other devices. Users can preview new features and improvements ahead of time with this release, which will be fully functional upon final release. Recall that last month at WWDC 2024, the iOS 18 was first unveiled, showcasing its new personalization options, updated apps, and noteworthy enhancements for iPhone users. iOS 18, widely regarded as one of Apple's most significant iPhone updates, is expected to introduce numerous new features.
It's important to remember, though, that not every iPhone can use the iOS 18 beta. The limitations stem from multiple issues, such as the requirement for newer chipsets and storage limitations. This version is still in the testing stage as a public beta, therefore users may experience problems and performance concerns. Thus, before starting the installation, it is advised that you make a backup of the data on your iPhone.
