Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming iOS 10.3.3 update to developers, a little over one week after seeding the third beta and more than a month after the release of iOS 10.3.2, a minor bug fix update.

Registered developers can download the fourth iOS 10.3.3 beta from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air with the proper configuration profile installed.

No significant features or notable bug fixes were found in the first three betas, aside from new wallpapers for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, suggesting iOS 10.3.3 is an update that's minor in scale and focuses on security updates and bug fixes.

iOS 10.3.3 is likely to be one of the last updates to iOS 10 as Apple starts shifting its full focus to iOS 11. The first beta of iOS 11 was released to developers on June 5 following Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, and two betas have been seeded so far.

Update: Apple has also released the fourth beta of iOS 10.3.3 to its public beta testers.

Sure wish folks would just shorten the nomenclature to:
- iOS 10.3.3.DB4
- iOS 10.3.3.PB3

It would take up so much less space and be easier to read.

Me: "I want my betas!"

Apple: "Here's a beta."

*releases iOS 10.3.3b4*

Apple: "But probably not the one you were expecting."

LoL you ninjed my comment.

But you forgot the D to differentiate from the P.

Wonder if this fixes the inability to roll back to 10.3.2......
Um no. You can roll back already if you want (for whatever reason), even the 10.3.3 betas are better than 10.3.2. Have to either shift/update using the 10.3.2 ipsw file or DFU mode then restore to 10.3.2.

I wonder why to developers and not to consumers. Once a beta is far enough along they usually release both at once or on the same day.

How many dam betas for such a small upgrade lol

Not everything is new features, it may appear to be a small update but under the hood it's a vast bugfix release aimed for the utmost stability and optimization. That of course takes time and several betas.
