It's an exciting time to be an iPhone user. On Monday, Apple released the public beta version of its upcoming iOS 18 software, which means everyday users can now download and experiment with the iPhone's next-gen software.
Of course, it's worth noting that beta software should only be downloaded and installed on "non-production devices that are not business critical," according to Apple. In other words, don't install the beta on your primary iPhone because you could encounter major headache-causing bugs, corrupted files, or even a bricked iPhone.
