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.

iOS 18 public beta 1 now available with 8 key features

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.

The iOS 18 public beta should be released any day now

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.

Apple released the latest iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Beta versions right after the WWDC 2024 Keynote. These early builds let you test upcoming features before their official debut this fall. While functionalities powered by Apple Intelligence might be missing, you’ll still get to explore a range of redesigned and improved apps for now. Here’s how to install the update on your iPhone or iPad.

Apple released the first public beta for iOS 18 on July 15, a little more than a month after the tech giant announced the software at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Apple said the update would bring many new features to your iPhone, including updates to Messages and more ways to personalize your lock screen. But one big change -- and one that's overdue in my opinion -- is all the ways you can customize your home screen.

Amazon Prime Day is coming up tomorrow, but the savings have already started. Other retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are also getting in on the action, and some are even offering deeper discounts than Amazon. Best Buy's sale includes a discount of up to $250 on our favorite TV in 2024. The TCL QM8, which takes the top spot due to its picture quality and relative value, has dropped to an even more affordable price than usual, with the 75-inch model falling to $1,500. That's $200 off the list price. You can also save $250 on the massive 98-inch version. It's our top pick of the best TVs on the market, and the discount makes this the perfect time to get this TV. Act fast if you want to take advantage of this deal, though, as we don't know how long it will last.

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...

As Amazon Prime Day draws closer, other outlets, like Best Buy, are throwing competitive deals out there so Amazon won't hog the spotlight. Right now, Best Buy is offering a TCL 55-inch 4K TV for only $230, $220 less than its normal $450 price. It's a steal for anyone who wants a decently large quality QLED 4K smart TV and has been waiting for a significant price drop. This deal is part of Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale, which runs through July 17, so you don't have long to get in on the savings.

If you don’t have an Apple Developer Account and have been eager to try out iOS 18 on your iPhone, rejoice! Apple has finally released the first public beta for iOS 18. The public betas are typically a bit more stable than the developer betas, which is a reason why some people hold off until the public beta.

The Amazon Prime Day deals are starting to ramp up as we edge closer to the July 16 start date, but the best Apple AirTag deal available right now is actually at Walmart -- though we expect that Amazon will match this price soon enough. These nifty little item trackers can be attached to whatever you don't want to lose, then it'll use Bluetooth to help you locate it. Amazon is already offering modest early Prime Day savings but right now, Walmart is offering the deepest discount with a four-pack for just $75. This is a $24 savings, but make sure to check if Amazon has price-matched the deal if you'd rather order there.
