iOS 18.5 release candidate now available with release notes

On May 8, 2025, Apple made the iOS 18.5 release candidate available to developers for final testing on iPhones and iPads.
The update follows a testing cycle starting March 17 with four betas, indicating Apple is nearing its official public release.
IOS 18.5 introduces minor changes including tweaks to Apple Mail, a new Pride 2025 wallpaper, carrier satellite support for iPhone 13 models, and a fix for Apple Vision Pro display issues.
Apple has indicated that the "Buy with iPhone" feature can be used when acquiring content through the Apple TV app on non-Apple devices, and the release candidate builds for iOS and iPadOS 18.5 carry the build number 22F75.
This release candidate signals the forthcoming public release of iOS 18.5 and related updates, typically about a week after the RC, with users advised to avoid installing beta software on mission-critical devices due to potential bugs.
