Today marks an exciting moment for beta software enthusiasts, as Apple has just released developer beta 1 for tvOS 18.5, visionOS 2.5, HomePod 18.5, and several other platforms.
New set of betas available, featuring tvOS 18.5 and more
This week has been significant for Apple software updates.
Just after launching substantial updates like iOS 18.4, macOS 15.4, visionOS 2.4, and others, Apple now presents a fresh lineup of beta releases.
We have officially entered the x.5 beta phase, introducing new developer versions of visionOS 2.5, tvOS 18.5, HomePod 18.5, and more.
Currently, the specifics regarding new features and changes in these beta versions remain undisclosed.
While rumors often guide our expectations for upcoming software releases, this time there’s been a notable lack of such insights.
There are also no major previously announced features for these platforms that we can expect to see included.
Apple did announce a unique screensaver for Apple TV+ with tvOS 18, but references to it were later taken down from the company’s website around the same time as the Snoopy screensaver was launched.
As we approach WWDC and the anticipated announcement of iOS 19 and more, it seems this beta cycle may be light on new features.
Nonetheless, we will install the new betas and keep you updated on any changes and features we uncover.
