Apple iOS 18 Release Date: Public Beta in July, Official Release in Fall

Developer Beta Available Immediately

Apple announced today that the first beta of iOS 18 is available immediately to members of the Apple Developer Program. A public beta is expected to follow in July, with the official release to the public coming in the fall.

Expected Release Schedule

Based on past release schedules, iOS 18 is likely to be announced at WWDC 2024 in June. The first developer beta will likely become available immediately after the keynote, and a public beta will follow a few weeks later. The final public release is typically released in mid-September, coinciding with the launch of new iPhone models.

Therefore, it is likely that iOS 18 will be released to the public in mid to late September 2024. However, Apple could surprise us with an earlier or later release date.
