Update 04/23/24 – iPadOS 18.5 public beta 2 is now available.

As we draw closer to what’s shaping up to be a very interesting WWDC 2025, work continues on iPadOS 18. Apple has just released developer beta 3 of iPadOS 18.5 to registered developers.

iPadOS 18.5 is a minor, and possibly the last, release for iPadOS 18. It’s a quiet end to what ended up be a pretty feature packed OS release (even if we didn’t get everything that was promised).

Developer beta 3 has usual smattering of known issues and bug fixes, per the release notes. There don’t appear to be any new user facing changes.

The final version of iPadOS 18.5 will likely be released sometime in May.
