It’s an exciting day for beta software releases, as Apple has just shipped developer beta 1 for tvOS 18.5, visionOS 2.5, HomePod 18.5, and more.
New batch of betas rolling out, including tvOS 18.5 and more
It’s been a big week for Apple software.
Not long after shipping major new updates like iOS 18.4, macOS 15.4, visionOS 2.4, and more, Apple now has a new slate of beta releases available.
We’re officially in the x.5 beta territory, with new developer versions of visionOS 2.5, tvOS 18.5, HomePod 18.5, and more.
Currently, new features and changes across these betas are completely unknown.
Sometimes rumors help inform what we should expect from new software releases. But this time, there’s been nothing on that front.
There aren’t big previously announced features for these platforms that could potentially be included either.
Apple did announce a special Apple TV+ screensaver for tvOS 18, but references to that were later removed from the company’s website around the time the Snoopy screensaver debuted.
Since we’re starting to get relatively close to WWDC and its big unveiling of iOS 19 and more, it’s possible this beta cycle will be light on new additions.
In any case, we’ll install the new betas and report back on any changes and features we discover.
