Apple sent developers new test versions of its phone, computer, and headset software this week. The company released the fourth beta update for iOS 18.5, macOS 15.5, and visionOS 2.5. Developers can download these test builds to their devices right away.
Developers need their Apple ID linked to their developer account to receive updates through the settings menus. The new updates focus mainly on fixing bugs and improving performance rather than adding major features. Apple also released similar test versions for its watch and TV systems.
These updates might help Apple boost sales in China, where reports suggest iOS 18.5 could bring AI features to that market. The company hopes this helps address declining market share there. Regular users will need to wait until developers finish testing these versions before public release.
