Apple has forked its betas, with iOS and iPadOS 18 releases continuing, likely targeting a general release in September with brand new iPhones.

Developers on Macs, iPhones, and iPads that meet the Apple Intelligence requirements (Apple Intelligence Requirements) can now download iOS and iPadOS 18.1, as well as macOS 15.1, giving a short peek at some of the early features.

The current suggestion is that Apple Intelligence features will ship in October. I still expect we will see some new features not announced at WWDC specific to the new round of devices.
