Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 9.1 Beta, Third tvOS Beta to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of iOS 9.1 to both registered developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, one week after seeding the third iOS 9.1 beta and releasing iOS 9.0.2, the second minor bug fix update to iOS.

The new iOS 9.1 beta, build 13B136, is available as an over-the-air update and through Apple's Developer Center. Apple has also released a third tvOS beta.

iOS 9.1 offers new features and compatibility updates for upcoming Apple products like the new fourth-generation Apple TV and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The iPad Pro ships with two accessories, the Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, both of which are deeply integrated into the operating system.

The update includes Unicode 8, adding support for emoji like the taco, burrito, cheese wedge, middle finger, unicorn head, and more, along with a new Messages option in the Settings app, allowing users to disable photos for their contacts.

It is not clear when iOS 9.1 will be released to the public, but it's likely it will come in late October, coinciding with the launch of the new Apple TV.

I can't wait!

Love how Apple is working these days!

Downloading now (OTA). Hope they fixed the Shut Off story

 

[Kareem Michel]

Downloading...

 

[Noble Actual]

All those emojis taking up that space. Too many tacos, middle fingers, and now lego faces.

Hopefully they fixed the unlock lag, where the phone is unresponsive for about 2-5 seconds after unlocking with touch ID.

I'm still on the 9.1 Public Beta Program version. How can I install the fourth Beta for developers? I'm presuming I delete the profile and check for OTA update?

Would appreciate some help. Thanks

EDIT: Wait, hold on. I'm on the Public Beta 9.1 and have also received a 9.1 Public Beta 4 OTA update. Is this the same version/build as the developers' Beta 4?

iOS 9.1 PB4 is also available as well - currently downloading at the moment - the PB downloads are exactly the same as the developers

Cheers, I just noticed this. I'll trust you that both versions are the same build

Me and you both. I don't even have TouchID--I have the iPhone 5. Yet my home screen is unresponsive for a bit after unlocking the phone as well as after closing an app.

downloading now on my 6s

 

[newtestleper]

I will download it whence I return home. I will be sure to update everyone thence.

 

[TheAppleFairy]

Keep them coming, just started the download on my iPhone 6. 1.4GB seems a lot bigger than the last few.

 

[TC03]

I wonder if it will remove the stutter from all the metal capable devices.

 

[v0lume4]

Everyone around here is "Downloading," and I'm just sitting here without a dev account. 9.1, I'll see you eventually!

 

[JPOWA]

Anyone notice the new build? 13B136

Does not have the usual beta format, more like a GM...

Join the public beta and you'll get it.

 

[Septembersrain]

Got 3 devices downloading as we speak!

That would also explain its large size

 

[OSpazX]

Got 3 devices downloading as we speak!

So it's your fault my download is not as fast as normal... you're hogging all of the bandwidth!

 

[ParisNK]

Its sound like this update will fix a lots of bugs good to see Apple working so hard on this OS
