iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and More Available in Public Beta in July

Apple today announced that public betas of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and HomePod software version 18 will be available in July.

iOS 18 WWDC 24 Feature 2
Apple did not provide a specific release date in July for the public betas, and it appears that visionOS 2 will not be available as a public beta, at least initially.

Anyone can join Apple's public beta testing program for free, allowing them to test out the updates next month without paying for Apple Developer Program membership.

Apple developers can test all of the new updates starting today, including visionOS 2.
