One day after iOS 17.6.1 relaunch, Apple has decided to continue advancing on its beta path with its operating systems in testing. Let us remember that the sixth beta for developers was launched on August 12 with small news and Today Apple launched beta 7 of all its software in beta status: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, macOS Sequoia and visionOS 2. Some experts with information from inside Cupertino assure that This beta could look a lot like the Release Candidate version, which will be definitively published when all operating systems are released worldwide.
Beta 7 of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 is now available
If you are enrolled in the Developer Beta Program you will be in luck because you can update your device to beta 7 for developers that Apple launched a matter of hours ago. This update can be done through Wi-Fi connectivity (OTA) within the device settings or using a PC or Mac to proceed with the update.
This is beta 7 of all beta operating systems that will be released starting in September, days after the launch of the iPhone 16: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, macOS Sequoia and visionOS 2. The new features we saw in beta 6 were already quite scarce so we do not expect big changes in this beta 7.
In fact, analyst Mark Gurman assures in his Official Twitter account which Beta 7 will be the last until the launch of the iPhone 16. However, it is a slightly strange statement considering that we almost always had a last beta 8 at the end of August, prior to the launch of the new iPhone. But Gurman's information always tends to have reliable sources and is correct with its predictions.
We will see as the hours go by the new features incorporated in this beta 7 and perhaps the last of this entire beta cycle.
