Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of iOS 18.5 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released the third betas.

iOS 18
iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 can be downloaded from the Settings app on a compatible device by going to General > Software Update.

So far, iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 are relatively minor updates, introducing just a few new design changes. There are more options for reverting the Mail app back to the prior design, including removing contact photos, and AppleCare info is easier to find. The update also likely has bug fixes and performance improvements that are less obvious.

Apple is transitioning to iOS 19 and iPadOS 19, which are set to be previewed in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Doh, and double Doh! 18.4.1 is most excellent as far as stability and baddery life is concerned.

But, I'm weak. The force is strong in this latest Beta update!🥸

Anyone on a iPhone 14 Pro that updates to this can you test the camera with a low battery 30% or less if you “spam” the camera button “5 times or more” causes my iPhone 14 Pro to turn off if I have 5% and plugged in it’s fine , or on battery 30% or more it’s also fine .

My wish list. A couple of tweaks for the camera.
What kind of tweaks?
