Apple launches public betas for iOS 18, MacOS Sequoia & others, but no ‘Apple Intelligence’ yet 

Apple has launched the first public betas for its 2024 software updates, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and watchOS 11. These initial releases allow users to test the latest features and improvements before the official updates arrive later this year. The beta program is accessible to anyone with an Apple ID, soon to be rebranded as an Apple Account, by enrolling in the Apple Beta Software Program.

To install the public betas, users must register their devices through the Apple Beta Software Program website. Once enrolled, the betas can be installed by navigating to Settings, then to General, and then move on to Software Update. Then, they have to select the Beta Updates menu, and choosing the Public Beta option. It’s important to note that while most devices can be reverted to a previous OS version, this is not possible for the Apple Watch. Users must wait for the official release this fall if they wish to revert their watchOS.
