Beta 2 of iOS 18.1, MacOS Sequoia 15.1, & iPadOS 18.1 Released with Apple Intelligence

Apple has released the second beta of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and MacOS Sequoia 15.1, each with support for Apple Intelligence AI features, on supported devices anyway. The release of these new beta updates is unusual in that they’re concurrent with betas for iOS 18.0, iPadOS 18.0, and MacOS Sequoia 15.0, each of which does not contain support for Apple Intelligence AI feature set.

If you’re intrigued by the idea of Apple Intelligence, installing these betas onto eligible devices will then allow you to opt into enabling Apple Intelligence on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Just remember that system requirements are quite strict; only iPhone 15 Pro or better (amazing that Apple sells brand new iPhone 15, iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone SE right now to customers and none of those supports Apple Intelligence but hey I’m just a geek), and both iPad or Mac must have an M1 or better chip.

How to Install iOS 18.1 Beta 2 or iPadOS 18.1 Beta 2

Backup to iCloud, as usual. Then updating is easy:

1. Open “Settings”, and then go to “General”
2. Go to “Software Update”
3. If you haven’t done so already, choose “Beta Updates” and then select “iOS 18.1 Developer Beta” or ‘iPadOS 18.1 Developer beta’ and then tap back
4. Choose to update now to install iOS 18.1 beta 2 or iPadOS 18.1 beta 2

The device will restart to complete installation.

How to Install MacOS Sequoia 15.1 Beta 2

Backup the Mac with Time Machine of course, then proceed with the update:

1. From the  Apple menu, go to “System Settings”
2. Go to “General” and then select “Software Update”
3. If you haven’t done so yet, click on the tiny (i) button next to Beta Updates and then pick “MacOS Sequoia 15.1 Developer Beta”
4. Choose “Update Now” to install MacOS Sequoia 15.1 beta 2

The Mac will also need to restart to finish installing.

Apple has said that iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia will be released this fall, however it’s evident that the Apple Intelligence feature will appear later in the year as a software update, and that’s what this series of betas represent.
