I think this gives credence to the downtime playing a part in delaying these but hey I really don't care why...it's here :)

Let's see if we are getting a bunch of threads asking about battery life and performance of beta 4.
Not to mention beta 5 threads (although I'm guessing the next one to really gain even more traction will be the public beta 2 thread).

and what about public beta? :/
No love for iOS 9 Public Beta 2..
So, here's something interesting--seems like those on public beta can actually get developer betas:

(from https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ta-to-developers.1902374/page-2#post-21617838)

For those with the Public Beta Profile installed who want Developer Beta 4 (assuming apple doesn't make a new beta available for the public users), here's how to opt out of the Public Beta to get Beta 4:

-Settings > General > Profiles
-Delete the iOS 9 Public Beta Profile
-Reboot your device
-Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install

I have 8.4 but have the public beta profile, all mine is doing is stuck at checking for update.

Do you have the iOS 9 Public Beta profile or one of the older 8.x profiles from the last Pubic Beta? If older, you need to delete that one and get the new one from the beta site for iOS 9.

Can't seem to update OTA on the iPhone 6. I have the Watch OS beta profile installed also, but I deleted that and tried again and nothing. Anyone been able to install this thing OTA? Argh!

EDIT: Nevermind, deleted the Watch OS profile and restarted the phone and now it shows the update OTA. :D

My iPhone is dev provisioned.
iPad upgraded to iOS 9 via Public beta profile.

On the iPad, 'Beta 4' is also available from Software Update
And Pb2 is not out yet right? This is interesting.......

This is probably because the PB and beta 3 were identical builds; the only reason Apple's servers treated them differently is if you had the PB profile installed. Remove that, and you're effectively running the Developer build.

Whether they continue with build number aggregation throughout the beta process remains to be seen, but judging by the fact that Apple have (perhaps unintentionally) made it very easy to jump between DP & PB, I can't see there being much consequence for updating when you're not a registered developer. Developers need the license to sign their apps before they can test them anyway. No skin off Apple's back.
