Apple still has nearly two months of new betas and refinements coming before these major new software versions launch to the public. That means there’s still plenty of time for new and improved features to arrive in beta. Typically, the earlier in the beta cycle, the more likely Apple will be to introduce noteworthy changes. Whereas later betas that ship closer to the public launch focus primarily on bug fixes and performance improvements. We’ll keep you posted on anything new discovered in beta 4.
