Apple just released public betas for their upcoming software updates, letting you tinker with new features before everyone else. We’re talking iOS 18 for iPhones, iPadOS 18 for iPads, macOS Sequoia for Macs, watchOS 11 for Apple Watches, and even tvOS 18 for your Apple TV.

Now, before you get too excited, there’s a catch. These are like early drafts of the software, so they might be a bit buggy and crashy.

So, what goodies await those brave enough to dive into the beta world? iPhone users, get ready to unleash your inner home screen designer! iOS 18 lets you finally move your apps wherever you want, ditching the grid if that’s your style. Plus, you can tint your app icons and widgets for a more personalized look. The Photos app gets a makeover too, and the Control Center gets a much-needed redesign. Basically, your iPhone is about to get a whole lot more customizable.

Over on the iPad, iPadOS 18 brings similar updates, along with the holy grail for many iPad users – a native Calculator app! No more third-party options cluttering your home screen. However, Apple’s saving their biggest surprise, “Apple Intelligence” (think super-smart Siri), for a later beta. This AI magic will only work on the latest iPhone 15 Pro models and newer Macs and iPads with M1 chips. No word yet on Apple Watch compatibility.

For Apple Watch lovers, watchOS 11 is all about health and fitness. You can now schedule rest days for your workouts and use the new Vitals app to check your sleep and other overnight health stats at a glance. Mac users, rejoice! The macOS Sequoia beta lets you mirror your iPhone right onto your Mac screen, perfect for presentations or just showing off those vacation pics. Finally, tvOS 18 brings an “InSight” feature for Apple TV+ content, similar to what Prime Video offers with X-Ray. Basically, you can geek out on behind-the-scenes trivia while you binge your favorite shows.

Here’s the thing to remember before you jump in: some of these betas, like the Apple Watch one, can’t be uninstalled once you download them. You’ll have to wait for the official release in the fall if things get too glitchy. Also, betas are known to be a little buggy, so be prepared for potential crashes or shorter battery life.

If you’re cool with these risks and super curious about the future of Apple software, head over to their beta program website and sign up. You can then download the public betas for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and others. Just be sure to check Apple’s website for specific instructions on how to install the beta on each device.
