Apple rolls out iOS 18.6 beta and more

Apple just dropped the first developer beta for iOS 18.6, macOS 15.6, tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, and other updates. This comes right after the company showed off its big new software, like iOS 26, set to launch this fall. While most of Apple’s team is focused on those future releases, they’re still tweaking the current systems with these new betas.

These updates, including iOS 18.6 and macOS 15.6, likely won’t bring big changes. Instead, expect small fixes and improvements to make things run smoother. Apple’s wrapping up work on its current operating systems, so these might be the final updates before the next big versions arrive. The betas also cover tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, and more, ensuring all Apple devices get some polish.

Developers can grab these betas now to test them out. The focus is probably on squashing bugs and boosting performance, not adding flashy features. If you’re a developer, you can dive in and see what’s new, but don’t expect major surprises. Apple’s keeping things steady as they gear up for the next wave of software. We’ll keep an eye out for any cool discoveries in these betas and share updates if anything stands out. Have you tried the new betas yet?
