The much-awaited iOS 12 developer beta will be released on 4th June at WWDC 2018 and will be available to download to those who have a developer account with Apple. However, for the average users to try & test iOS 12, a public beta build will be released later in the month of June.

The iOS 12 public beta build will be available for download for free to all iPhone and iPad users. All you have to do is install the iOS beta profile on your device to get iOS 12 public beta over-the-air directly to your iPhone when it releases.

iOS 12 public beta release date is expected to be somewhere near the end of June 2018 or early in July. If we are to go by Apple’s track record, the public beta build should release within 2-4 weeks of the developer beta release.
