Apple released the first beta of iOS 18.5 on Dear Utol (2025): Itch Follows Episode 23Wednesday. It's not super exciting, but there is a helpful Mail app feature for people who don't like change.

As expected, not much is new. Most of the promised iOS 18 features have already been shipped. Plus, as Apple gears up for WWDC on June 9, the company's focus has turned to the upcoming iOS 19 announcement.

So that's left us with a few minor features for the iOS 18.5 beta. That said, versions of the incumbent iOS always continue to be released up until the next iOS takes over, so there's still a chance we might see some noteworthy new features in the 11th hour.
