Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 9 Beta to Developers

[QuarterSwede]

iOS 9 should really be called iOS 8.5

Versioning is all up to the developer. If they want to call it iOS 21 they can. It's not logical so don't try to make it be.

Soooo splitscreen multitasking is just a 'minor feature' to you? Nope IOS 9 is the name.

I was saying the following in another thread. Apple will release a beta whenever it's ready. Today's proven that they have no schedule. Now though I expect a three week gap until release.

for developer beta or the public beta with the public beta profile installed?

Developer beta

How is the battery life?

just superb so far! wow!

Last time the Public Betas only updated every other Developer release. This applied to both iOS and OS X public betas.

So don't get your hopes up, guys and gals.

That's aggravating...

The update just showed up on my Cingular iPhone.

Other than clearing notifications, it's been pretty smooth for me.

The change in font however subtle, softens the weirdness that the thin Nue font gave it. Now it feels and looks really high end and polished.

Cingular? Sweet Lord. I haven't heard that in like 10 years...lol

Working hard.

iOS 9 should really be called iOS 8.5

iOS 9 is very substantial upgrade for iPad. And Proactive could eventually shape up to be huge.

And it does bring many under the hood improvements (e.g., battery life, performance, size decrease) that breaks and replaces many of iOS 8 underpinnings.

Cingular iPhone...now that's funny.

 

[anshuvorty]

Will be interesting to see if the iPod Touch 6th gen gets Siri Proactive....

Not sure about anyone else but the public beta of iOS 9 has done wonders for my battery. Seriously. Much longer than before. (32gb iPhone 5C)

If we update to this over PB version will it work (and just get rid of the profile that was installed?)?

It will work but you might as well just wait patiently

Ah, it's nice to see the video with the Freudian multitasking demo again.

Shouldn't he be tapping one side and rubbing the other?

For those with the Public Beta Profile installed who want Developer Beta 4 (assuming apple doesn't make a new beta available for the public users), here's how to opt out of the Public Beta to get Beta 4:

-Settings > General > Profiles
-Delete the iOS 9 Public Beta Profile
-Reboot your device
-Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install

OTA available in Europe now... Updating

Interesting I've never done this before. You can confirm it works?

This wont lock your device? I mean not having a developers account?

No it should not

I'm downloading on my iPad and I'm only in the Public beta program.

Just to confirm that beta 4 appears to be available for public beta testers (currently installing on my iPhone 6).
