Apple just released an updated build for its third iOS 18 beta to developers. This comes on the heels of widespread anticipation for the first public beta, which did not come to fruition today. But if this is any indication, we are getting very close to the public beta in the coming days.

After over a month of beta testing, Apple is finally releasing iOS 18 public beta 1 to registered users of the Apple Beta Software Program. If you want to be one of the first to try Apple’s upcoming software updates before they’re released to everyone later this fall, I gathered the eight best features available with iOS 18 that you will love, besides the Apple Intelligence platform.

iOS 18 public beta 1 now available with 8 key features

Ultimately the reaction to 18’s initial public beta may be more about what’s not there than what is. When Apple first announced its latest annual update to the mobile software platform back in June, most of the attention went to a suite of features—the top-billed ones if you look at the company’s iOS 18 Preview Page—collected under the aegis of Apple Intelligence. These marked the company’s much anticipated foray into artificial intelligence and promise everything from image generation to a reinvigorated Siri.

First Look: iOS 18 Public Beta

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are coming in two months, which means it’s not the best time to buy a new iPhone 15. Unless you’re in absolute need of a new iPhone right now, it’s wise to wait until September for either the iPhone 16 or for other iPhones to get cheaper.

Apple just rolled out iOS 18 public beta 1. You can finally test iOS 18 on your iPhone if that’s been what you’ve been dying to do. I’ve been on iOS 18 since the first developer beta, and I’ll tell you again that the experience has been much better than I expected. I have no reason to return to iOS 17, especially considering Apple will keep adding new features to iOS 18 until September.

Apple announced iOS 18 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the tech giant released the public beta version of the software on July 15, more than a month after WWDC.

One of iOS 18’s many new customization features is the ability to uniformly tint the color of your app icons.

Thanks to some digging from Gui Rambo, we now know how that works.

Apple has just launched the macOS Sequoia public beta, meaning you can install macOS 15 now and try out a host of the new features that are coming later this year. In the absence of Apple Intelligence – which is currently nowhere to be found -- one of my favorite additions is iPhone Mirroring, which displays a fully interactive version of your iPhone on your Mac’s display. Unfortunately, in its current state, iPhone Mirroring is missing a key aspect that made it so enticing in the first place.When Apple demoed iPhone Mirroring at WWDC 2024 in June, it explained that...
