Apple today released the iOS 18 Developer Preview Beta 8 update, with version number 22A5350a, marking an 8-day gap since Beta 7 released on August 21st.

This signifies that the foundational testing of iOS 18 is nearly complete. The official iOS 18 is expected to be released shortly after the iPhone 16 series launch, likely within the following week.

It's been reported that the iPhone 16 series will be unveiled on September 10th. Following its usual practice, Apple will quickly release the latest system version after the new phone launch. iOS 18 will follow this tradition, releasing in close proximity to the iPhone 16 release.

It's worth noting that one of the most significant features of iOS 18, Apple Intelligence, is only supported by the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Other models won't have access to this new AI feature.

Looking at the upgraded features of iOS 18, Apple has incorporated several features that were already available on Android systems, such as iPhone mirroring, custom app icons, locking or hiding apps, game mode, call recording, and more. These additions undoubtedly enhance the functionality and user experience of the iOS system.

Overall, the release of iOS 18 Beta 8 indicates that the official version of iOS 18 is imminent. Although this update doesn't introduce new features, its focus on bug fixes and improvements demonstrates Apple's dedication to system stability and refinement.
