Did you miss life in the beta version? All aboard the iOS 17.5 beta train. After several weeks without a beta for developers, Apple has released the first beta version of iOS 17.5 for testing. The full list of beta versions today includes other Apple platforms:

- macOS Sonoma 14.5
- visionOS 1.1
- watchOS 10.5
- tvOS 17.5
- HomePod 17.5
Enjoy the latest betas and let us know what you find!
We'll update our devices so you don't have to (unless you want to) and update our coverage with what's new. In the meantime, here's a quick look at each version of iOS 17 so far:
- iOS 17: Standby mode, interactive widgets, improved AutoCorrect (September 18, 2023)
- iOS 17.1 : Improved AirDrop, Apple Music, StandBy (October 25, 2023)
- iOS 17.2: Magazine app, spatial video capture, Translate Action button (December 11, 2023)
- iOS 17.3: Stolen Device Protection, Unity Wallpapers, Collaborative Playlists (January 22, 2024)
- iOS 17.4: Digital Markets Act Compliance, New Emoji, CarPlay Update (March 5, 2024) )
What can we expect from iOS 17.5? This could be the version that ships on the new iPads (talking about long overdue updates). Otherwise, the VisionOS 1.2 beta is a platform that could gain a lot more at this stage. See something new? Let us know in the comments.
In any case, the iOS 17.5 beta should last until April as we expect the long-awaited iOS 18 beta in June.
