Apple has released the sixth public beta of the iOS 18 software platform, as well as the eighth beta of this mobile platform for developers. In addition, Apple has released fresh beta versions of iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, etc. Probably, iOS 18 beta 6 and iOS 18 beta 8 will be the last test versions before the launch of stable iOS 18, which will debut on September 9, when the presentation of the iPhone 16 and other new products will take place .

With the launch of the stable version of iOS 18 just around the corner, there are no new features or significant changes in the current public beta version of the software platform. Instead, the developers focused on eliminating minor bugs, as well as improving the stability and performance of the operating system.
Note that Apple previously implemented support for a large number of new functions in iOS 18. Even without taking into account Apple Intelligence AI tools, some of which will become available only in iOS 18.1, the new version of the OS will bring many interesting innovations.
For example, users will have access to new tools for customizing the home screen, Control Center and application icons. The Photos app has undergone a significant change with a revamped user interface. It is now possible to pair iPhone with Mac computers running macOS Sequoia to broadcast the smartphone screen to a PC. The Messages application has been updated, RCS support has appeared, the ability to send messages on a schedule, etc.
At the same time, many less noticeable changes were implemented, including in system applications. Apple will present stable iOS 18 in September and will tell you more about all the significant changes in the OS. Probably, as part of the presentation, the dates when iOS 18 will become available to users of compatible devices will also be announced.
