Apple has launched iOS 17.5 beta 2 in the EU with a Web Distribution feature enabling developers to bypass the App Store and its fees.

Developers using Web Distribution must pay a Core Technology Fee of €0.5.

New features for Apple News+ subscribers and a system to block unauthorized tracking devices are included in the update.

Apple is working on 'Math Notes' for integration in future iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates, aimed at enhancing the utility of the Notes app.

iOS 18 is anticipated to introduce customizable home screens, AI enhancements, RCS messaging, new Apple Maps, and Notes app improvements.

The next iPhone model, iPhone 16, is expected to feature cutting-edge Sony camera sensors, better low-light performance, and AI-driven camera capabilities.

Apple plans to unveil the first public beta versions of its new operating systems after the WWDC keynote on June 10th.
