Apple is getting closer to its beta iOS 18.5 phase as it is preparing for the long -awaited iOS 19 exit later this year. The beta iOS 18.5 version has now entered its second phase, noting that the final version of the public is not far away. Earlier this month, we explored the features of the iOS 18.5 beta 1 update, and now, with Beta 2 Out, it seems that the scene takes place for a great revelation at the WWDC 2025 Keynote in June.
Beta 2 iOS 18.5 update: What’s new?
The first beta version of iOS 18.5 introduced some notable adjustments, including the option to customize the Apple Mail application by masking contact photos via the settings. He also gave an overview of the Applecare section and guaranteed with an updated banner design.
So what’s new with Beta 2? At this stage, not many flashy features. The update mainly focuses on improving system stability and performance, which is crucial to offer a softer user experience. If you hoped for a new set of AI -based features, you will probably have to wait until iOS 19 arrives later this year.
It is not surprising that Apple retains the introduction of new major features with iOS 18.5. The company seems to stick to its schedule, keeping things stable before focusing on iOS 19. The developer’s beta for iOS 19 should take place shortly after the WWDC event.
The reports suggest that iOS 19 could provide a significant visual overhaul, including redesigned application icons and personalization options. There are also speculation on the new Android inspiration features that are making their way to iPhones, as well as stricter integration between iOS, iPados and possibly MacOS too.
