Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 9 Beta to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of iOS 9 to developers for testing purposes, nearly two weeks after releasing the third beta and more than a month after unveiling the new operating system at the 2015 Worldwide Developers Conference.

The update, build 13A4305g, is available through Apple's over-the-air updating system on iOS devices and is also available for download through the Apple Developer Center. Xcode 7 beta 4 is also available.

Today's beta includes the return of Home Sharing for Music, which was removed in iOS 8.4. iTunes chief Eddy Cue said Apple was working to re-add the feature in iOS 9, and he's kept his promise. This is also the first iOS 9 beta that's available for Apple's new iPod touch. For a full list of changes, make sure to check out our iOS 9 beta 4 tidbits post.

iOS 9 beta 3, which preceded beta 4, brought several much-desired features to iOS 9 including the News app, an updated Music app with support for the Apple Music service and Beats 1 radio station, folders for selfies and screenshots, 4x4 app layouts for folders on the iPad, and more.

iOS 9 is Apple's latest operating system, focusing on intelligence and proactivity with much improved Siri and Search functions, plus improvements to several apps like Notes, Maps, and Mail. iOS 9 also brings several highly desired features like split-screen multitasking for the iPad and performance boosts that improve battery life and optimize storage space.

As of early July, iOS 9 is available to both developers and public beta testers. The software will be released to the public this fall after testing is complete.

Public beta 2 also???

 

[macleanjr]

I had a lot of issues in beta 3 transitioning from Wi-Fi to LTE, having to toggle LTE every time to get data flowing. Hoping this resolves that issue (Verizon, iPhone 6)

EDIT: So far so good on beta 4!

 

[CosmoPilot]

[Jeremy1026]

That was unexpected considering the cycle has been 2 weeks and 1 day thus far.

 

[AngerDanger]

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

iOS 9 should really be called iOS 8.5

I'm having the same issue, with the same phone and carrier.

 

[Gamer9430]

Also, I checked on my iPhone 6, no OTA yet

 

[kybldmstr]

It is still early to know if PB 2 is coming too since it is only OTA

[anshuvorty]

Any news about a iPod Touch 6th gen ipsw?

 

[TMRJIJ]

iOS 9 should really be called iOS 8.5

OS X Snow Leopard should have been called OS X Leopard 10.5.9 - 1.5.17. What's your point?

 

[agwin27]

I'm seeing it OTA on my AT&T iPhone 6.

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

 

[Darth.Titan]

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.
