Lost in the excitement over the Apple Intelligence Beta, Apple releases iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6.
You can admit it. Beta updates scare the hell out of you. They are unstable, they kill your battery life, and occasionally they turn your phone into a paperweight. So even though you’ve been dying to try iOS 18 and the Apple Intelligence Beta in iOS 18.1, you’d prefer to wait until September and October come around for the stable releases of these builds. „Better safe than sorry“ is your motto.
The big news today was the release of iOS 18.1 Developer Beta and iPadOS 18.1 Developer Beta, both allowing users with an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max to join the waitlist for the Apple Intelligence Beta (which showed up on my iPhone not too long installing the Beta). Apple also released iOS 17.
