re-release of beta 3. hopefully this fixes my messages bug.. going from unknown senders to messages would freeze the phone for a few seconds. Also messages would take a while to send

Considering that the iPhone 17e isn’t supported on the latest iOS 26.4 beta I would expect B4 or RC either Monday or Tuesday this coming week.

The letter at the end does not indicate stability. It is simply the number of times a specific build has been compiled.

So build 23E5223f has been compiled 6 times (a to f), the re-released build 23E5223k another 5 times.

You're only half right. While it's true that the letter indicates the number of times a build has been compiled, they don't compile it over and over for fun.

A build is compiled after fixing an issue to check for errors, and if one is found, it's worked over again and compiled till it's successful. In other words, the initial build was not satisfactory if they went back to fix something.

I'm uncertain if you have any software dev background but I'd seen people throw around the word compilation here without the faintest clue what it actually entails.

I sure know what compiling means. 😉

But why am I only half right?
Look at the quoted post in my answer, I just wanted to clarify that the user‘s assumption „higher letter = less stable“ is wrong, that it is the opposite indeed - like you said.

I am not exactly sure how to figure this part out, but if the 17e is not supported on beta 3, then we'll get a new beta between today and tomorrow. They won't want the potential of people not being able to restore because they are coming from a phone that had the beta on it.

Exactly my point. My guess is today.

Or they could just release a build of beta 3 for the new phone and iPad. Regardless I do hope we get a new beta today or tomorrow.
 
Today’s goal: New 26.4 beta that fixes location services crashing constantly. Feedback is still open with more than 10 reports.
