Announced at WWDC in June, developer betas have progressed steadily, with the third released on July 6. While typically following the third dev beta by a week, 2025 saw a slight delay. Despite being beta software, it's been praised for its stability by sources like Mark Gurman, though users are still cautioned against installing it on critical devices. Notable features include a new Siri AI app, enhanced child safety via Screen Time, AI photo editing, organized Safari tabs, and an upgraded Image Playground.
