So iOS version updates have now become a single feature update? 12.3 was primarily a Apple TV app update, and now 12.4 is for Apple Card support?
Got a tip for us?

Don’t we need different beta profiles for iOS 12 and iOS 13? So you should be able to install the one you like.
they're not that fast if you look at the frequency of updates. you don't have to install the updates if it bugs you so much)
I would think by the time iOS 13 beta rolls around. That iOS 12.4 will be out of beta.
And like other users said. There’s profiles for different iOS versions. There will be a iOS 13 profile to help avoid confusion
This is the whole reason behind delta updates. To be able to release bug fixes faster. Some people cant be pleased no matter how hard you try.
The first public beta version of the new Apple Card will be able to be used nearly anywhere. You just won’t be able to buy anything.

Why on earth would you not want incremental updates every few months to address bugs as they are addressed rather than yearly windows of vulnerabilities?
we're lucky if people even read the full article they're commenting on...they gotta be first with attempting to be funny at the same ol' jokes or comments.
Will be interesting to see what this beta consists of, but I imagine it's nothing huge.

There's very little "now" about this:
- iOS 5.1 added hardware support and changed the camera app.
- iOS 6.1 added carrier support had the ability to reset the advertising identifier.
- iOS 7.1 added CarPlay.
- iOS 8.1 added Apple Pay and Continuity.
- iOS 8.2 added Apple Watch support.
- iOS 8.3 added wireless CarPlay (and emoji).
- iOS 8.4 added Apple Music.
- iOS 9.1 added hardware support (and emoji).
- iOS 9.2 added hardware support (and some carrier/international fixes).
- iOS 9.3 actually added a bunch of stuff.
I wasn’t sure if we were going to see another beta... or even a release (besides 12.3.1 for example) until iOS 13 but glad to see they are doing more. This will likely go into June/July before release (but by then iOS 13 will be in testing!)
Update came in OTA on my iPad Pro 12.9 (newest) at 2.85 GB updating from full release of 12.3

There can easily be a x.x.1 update between now and when 12.4 is released in the coming weeks. It’s happened many many times before.
Why these big version jumps nowadays? I remember when a x.x release included amazing features. this should be a x.x.x release
So you don't understand that some updates are under the hood and don't benefit you specifically? What is the point in people constantly commenting here with absolutely nothing new or beneficial to say. Please MacRumors slow it down.

Says who? You? Lol ok.
If they introduce dark mode in 12.4, there'll be little else to showcase for iOS13. Unless of course there are new emojis and animojis and whatnotmojis, you know!
I can see by your examples how something like adding Apple Watch support equates to adding Apple credit card support.
Or CarPlay. Or Apple Music. Or Apple Pay. ALL of which are major additions to the infrastructure compared to an Apple credit card that only interests a fraction of iPhone users.
