iOS 18 RC I’m confused

Hello I wanted to ask is it safe to download the iOS 18 RC? I didn’t install any iOS 18 beta before I was just on the iOS 17 so now from iOS 17.6.1 downloading straight the iOS 18 RC on my main device?

iPhone 14 Pro Max

You should never download beta software on your main device. And yes, the RC is still beta. You only have to wait six more days.
