Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 9.3.3 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 9.3.3 update to developers for testing purposes, one week after the public release of iOS 9.3.2, a minor bug fix update.

The first iOS 9.3.3 beta, build 13G12, can be downloaded immediately from the Apple Developer Center.

We don't yet know what changes iOS 9.3.3 will bring to iOS 9, but as a minor 9.x.x update, it's unlikely to introduce any major tweaks. There is no iOS 9.3.3 update available for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, suggesting the new beta does not fix an issue that bricked some 9.7-inch iPad Pro devices. Apple has also pulled the iOS 9.3.2 update for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro and has not re-released it.

The previous update, iOS 9.3.2, introduced support for using Night Shift and Low Power mode simultaneously and fixed a Bluetooth bug that caused iPhone SE devices to experience poor audio when connected to a Bluetooth device.

We will update this post with any changes that are found in the new beta.

Wonder if there will be a 9.4?

Hopefully this won't brick my iPad Pro 9.7.

 

[MrGimper]

Not seeing it on the dev portal yet in the UK....

 

[Sirious]

This is to distract us from the iPhone 7 leaks.. isn't it?

 

[Rafagon]

What MacRumors should say is "We don't know yet what devices iOS 9.3.3 will brick."

Time appears to slow way down between the release of a beta to developers and those on a public beta!

Let's vote what will this update break up next.

A) iPad Pro 12.9"
B) Apple Pencil support
C) iPhone SE

 

[MacsRgr8]

Hmm..... will there be a 10.11.6..?

 

[kingofwale]

how much does the beta tester get paid to take those risks?

do you get your iPad for free from Apple?

 

[DoctorKrabs]

I'll bet $100 that it still locks up when you use Touch ID while an alarm goes off.

 

[Tiger8]

Apple will run out of numbers soon

 

[emm386]

No chance I'm gonna install 9.3.3 on my iPhone the day it comes out! Not unless Apple starts taking Beta testers' feedback serious again.

 

[bgraham]

Remember when Apple didn't need to release multiple betas for every single minor release and they still had far more stable software with less bugs than they do now? Those were the days

Hmm...I just tried this and my iPhone didn't lock up at all?

I'm guessing this is because a large number of devices are being dropped in iOS 10. They want to leave iPhone 4s, 5, 5c and iPad 2 and 3 and iPad mini 1 and 2 on iOS 9 in my opinion.

 

[Deeznuts.]

Damn apple, back at it again with another beta.

Developers get the opportunity to test pre-release iOS software (on non-primary iOS device dedicated to testing) with their apps to ensure full compatibility when the update is released to customers.

Developers wouldn't want their apps to be buggy every time a new update came out. This is a service to developers. No one is under any obligation to use it.

Ugh just give us iOS 10 already

Continuing your humour: and if only we all could go back, and if only Steve could be resurrected, and as Tim would appeal, Jesus set a pretty dangerous precedent as far as resurrections go.

They shouldn't drop those, reason, iOS 9 sucks on some of those devices, my iPhone 4S is barely usable with iOS 9.
iOS 10 should make it useable again, or allow us to go back to an earlier iOS version.

I can see that happening, unless of course IOS 10 is mainly cosmetic like 9 then they might leave it but take some features out. Frankly they need a new interface and up their game on the built in applications. There's just so much more Notes and Music can do but they've yet to change them.

As the matter of fact there is! Just came in here.

Just a little extra info, if you register as an individual the cost is $99/year and you provide the devices to test it on.

Probably a minor fix for ipad pro... Nothing else I bet as wwdc is so close... With ios 10 beta... Which will break... Touch id ? Volume button? Your nerves?

You do not need to pay $99 a year to download Xcode or develop. You only need to pay $99 a year if you want to publish your application to the app store.
