This week came to our iPhone, officially and open to all users, the latest version of the operating system, iOS 18.4. So did the rest of the update for the entire range of Apple devices, with ipados, macOS sequoia, visionos and watchos. Now, the company does not stop there and is already testing the next versions of its software, with an eye on the WWDC of June where IOS 19 will present.
Recall that, according to rumors, iOS 19 will completely change the aesthetics of the devices, with a translucent design to the purest software style that we find in the VisionPro, Apple's mixed reality glasses. But now we have to talk about the new beta available, iOS 18.5.
News of iOS 18.5 Beta
Apple has launched the First beta of iOS 18.5 For developers, making it clear that the final version of iOS 18 is reaching its last phase before giving way to iOS 19 in the coming months. Although it is not a revolutionary update, it does introduce some subtle but interesting changes that can improve the experience of use of the iPhone.
One of the most visible changes is found in the Mail application. Apple has facilitated access to two key options: the possibility of activating or deactivating the contact photos and the option to disable the group by sender. Before, these adjustments were “hidden” in the system configuration, but now they can be managed directly from the three -point icon in the upper right corner of the app. This little adjustment returns part of the classic to Mail, something that many users will appreciate.
Another minor change, but useful, reaches the section of Applecare In iPhone settings. Now, within the “Applecare y Guarantee” section, Apple has added a banner with the service logo and a direct option to obtain more information about the available coverage. In addition, if you access your Apple account and select one of your devices, you will see a new section dedicated to Applecare, with quick access to details about coverage and the possibility of managing the subscription plan without navigating multiple menus.
iOS 19 is presented in June
Beyond these small touch -ups, the beta of iOS 18.5 has not shown significant changes, although Apple may add more news in upcoming proof versions. However, everything indicates that the update will focus on optimizing the system and correcting errors before making the jump to iOS 19.
As for its launch, if Apple follows the same strategy as in recent years, iOS 18.5 should get to the public in Mayprobably in the second week of the month. With this update, users can enjoy a more refined experience before the arrival of the great novelties that will bring the next generation of the operating system.
For those who still do not know, the WWDC of 2025or World Developer Conference, where Apple will present iOS 19, will take place on June 9 in Cupertino, and can be followed, as usual, through the official Apple website and its YouTube channel.
