Apple releases iOS 11.4.1 beta 4 & macOS 10.13.6 Developer beta 4
On the early morning of June 25th, Apple released the fourth developer beta of iOS 11.4.1, tvOS 11.4.1, and macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. The third beta developer of watchOS 4.3.2 was also launched. If you are a developer or hold a developer account, the complete firmware package for the new beta system of all operating systems can already be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center.
Of course, devices that are already in the developers beta state can be updated by OTA if the correct configuration file is installed. As for the public beta version, it is usually provided a few days after the developer preview release, the fastest one day apart.
The build version number for the fourth developer beta of iOS 11.4.1 is 15G5074a, while the previous version number for the fourth beta was 15G5072a.
The beta version of MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 for the fourth developer was 17G54a, while the previous version for the third beta was 17G47b.
The build version number for tvOS 11.4.1 for the fourth developer beta is 15M5072a, while the previous version number for the fourth beta was 15M5071b.
watchOS 4.3.2 falls behind the other three systems in version updates. The current watchOS 4.3.2 build version number for the third developer beta is 15U5069a, and the second test version number is 15U5062a.
Judging from the currently known information, this wave of developer beta updates does not include any new features or update points that are worth noting. Apple’s version update log also has very few update details, so this wave of update content It’s very likely that it’s just made up of regular bug fixes and performance improvements, and for the next public beta release, it’s believed that the same is true for the unexpected.
Currently, Apple also provides developers with beta versions of the “big version” of the operating system, including iOS 12, tvOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and watchOS 5. It is not clear that this new wave of systems is suitable for providing public betas. The edition must wait until autumn.
In any case, any beta version of iOS is described by its name. Everything is still in the testing phase. In most cases, the performance may not be as ideal as the official version, and even extremely unstable and data loss may occur. So if your equipment is the main equipment for everyday use and it is not recommended to try it early. But if you’re interested in beta testing, or if this is your non-host machine, it’s best to back up important data before you try it.
