Before Apple releases iOS 26 this fall this fall, the company will likely release iOS 18.6 in the next few weeks. The company released the third public son of the software on July 15, but it did not change much on developers and beta -testers’ iPhones. Although iOS 26 will bring an important design to iPhones, the latest beta is full of bugs and security fixes, developers and beta testers should not expect new features.
Since this is a beta, I recommend downloading you on anything other than my basic device. Since this is not the final version of iOS 18.6, the update can be small, and battery life can be affected, it is better to keep these problems away from your basic device.
Note that beta iOS 18.6 is not the final version, so more features can be found when it is released on your iPhone. Apple will probably issue iOS 18.6 to the common people in the next few weeks, but the exact date of release is not clear. However, iOS 18.6 will likely be the last important iOS 18 updated company release that will make iOS 26 this fall this fall.
What to expect from iOS 18.6 when it descends on your iPhone?
This beta is about security patch and squashing insects
If you are a developer or beta tester, do not expect more from this son except the bug and security fix. After downloading and watching the iOS 18.6 beta 3, I have not received any new features or remarkable changes. And it is not surprising that Apple’s iOS release schedule over the past years.
Apple announced iOS 18 in WWDC 2024 and released iOS 17.6 in July after a month. The update was full of more than 30 important bug fixes and security patches but no new features. Apple recommended that everyone download the update at this time and this was the last important iOS 17 update before the IOS 18 release.
Apple did the same in July 2023 when it released iOS 16.6. When Tech Dev released the update, his focus was on Big Fixes and Security Patch. The next Major IOS release was iOS 17.
Apple is probably changing gears and paying more attention to iOS 26. In fact, the company has already released three IOS software developer beta in preparation for this fall release.
The iOS 18.6 will be more betrayed before releasing it to the public, so there is enough time for Apple to add features or change others – but I will not trust the new features. Apple has not announced when it will release the iOS 18.6 but because both IOS 17.6 and iOS 16.6 were released in July 2024 and 2023 respectively, I expect Apple to release the iOS 18.6 this month.
