Summary at a Glance

Apple has unsigned and removed watchOS 11.4 beta 1 for the Apple Watch Series 6, and has pulled iOS 18.4 beta 1 from the iPhone 12 and some select iPad models.

In addition, Apple pulled the iOS 18.4 beta 1 update for testers using some iPhone 12 models, the cellular version of the eighth-generation iPad, both the Wi-Fi and cellular models of the fourth-gen iPad Air, and the M2-based 11- and 13-inch cellular versions of the sixth-generation iPad Air, which is the latest model.

The company has pulled beta testing the next iOS and watchOS updates from testing on select models as of February 22 due to reports that the beta rendered the Apple Watch Series 6 inoperable.

Code within the new iOS 18.4 beta shows that Apple appears to be readying an alternative to its ChatGPT integration in Apple Intelligence, with an option to use Google Gemini.

Apple has started a new round of developer betas, complete with fresh builds of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, macOS 15.4, tvOS 18.4, watchOS 11.4, and visionOS 2.4 that will ultimately deliver Apple Intelligence to the headset.
