Apple has released Beta 4 updates across several of its platforms, including watchOS 11.5, visionOS 2.5, and tvOS 18.5.
The new builds are now available for developers who have enrolled in Apple’s beta program. This release comes just a week after the last beta updates, keeping Apple’s usual schedule of weekly beta drops during this stage of the development cycle.
So far, these latest beta versions don’t introduce any major new features. Apple seems to be focusing mainly on refining performance, improving stability, and addressing any bugs reported in earlier betas. This isn’t surprising, since point updates like 11.5, 2.5, and 18.5 are typically reserved for under-the-hood improvements rather than big new features.
By the time beta 4 rolls around, most user-facing changes would have already been introduced in the first couple of betas. While there’s always a chance for some last-minute tweaks or small surprises, it looks like Apple is getting these updates ready for public release without major new additions. If any hidden changes or small improvements are planned, they’ll probably show up in the final release notes.
If you’re a developer running earlier betas, it’s worth installing beta 4 to benefit from the latest fixes and optimizations. As for the general public, final versions of these updates are likely to roll out sometime next month if everything stays on track.

Developers can download the new beta updates today by heading to Settings > General > Software Update on their devices if enrolled in the beta program.
