the final version is approaching

He iOS 18 development has accelerated, Apple has already released beta 6 of the new iPhone operating system just a week after the launch of beta 5. On the same day, it also launched the second beta of iOS 18.1. This is something very interesting that could indicate a possible preview of the launch of the new operating system.

Until the official release of iOS 18, Apple will launch a weekly beta to fine-tune the system. In previous years, Apple released 8 or 9 beta versions before the final release.

but this year, with the parallel development of iOS 18.1, everything could change.

All the latest news on iOS 18 beta 6

The parallel development of iOS 18 is something strange at Apple; we got more features in the iOS 18 beta than in iOS 18.1. But that may end now with a simultaneous launch, at least All these new features are present in iOS 18 beta 6 and iOS 18.1 beta 2.:

Welcome Screens

This beta version includes new welcome screens in apps like Photos, Translate, Podcasts, Home, Apple TV, Calculator, and Notes. These welcome screens are common in early versions of a new operating system, as they display a brief summary of what’s new.

Dark Mode Icons

Icons in iOS 18 can be put into dark mode with black tints. Apple has been improving the detail and design of dark icons throughout the betas, and starting with iOS 18 beta 6, These dark icons are also displayed on lock screen notifications

. A logical change.

Tinted Icons

Apple also lets you “paint” icons any color in iOS 18 and Now these will be associated with a wallpaper

. In other words, if you adapt the icons to a color with a certain wallpaper, the system will save it so that if you change it and come back later, the icons will keep that color.

Redesigned Albums Collection in Photos

The Photos app continues to be redesigned and In these beta versions, the album collection has changed. Each album now has a separate page, with a main thumbnail on the left.

Control Center Improvements

He Control Center now has a new button to turn Bluetooth on or off which is separate from the communication controls which are grouped together. Additionally, you can also add this Bluetooth switch to the lock screen instead of the camera or flashlight buttons, or assign it to the iPhone 15 Pro’s action button.

For his part, In iOS 18.1 beta 2, we have other new features “legacy” from the previous iOS 18 beta, in addition to other important improvements.
