The third beta versions of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are now available to developers. The second beta version of both updates was released last week, with some modifications. The public beta testers can also anticipate receiving the beta update later this month now that July has arrived.
Apple began testing iOS 17 shortly after the conclusion of WWDC on June 5. Since testing began one month ago, we have already had the opportunity to test the majority of iOS 17 features in the first three beta updates. Yes, many of them are not yet ready for public release. Therefore, we may not anticipate significant changes or new features in the upcoming beta updates, but rather enhancements to what is already available.
Apple also released macOS Sonoma 14 Beta 3, tvOS 17 Beta 3, watchOS 10 Beta 3, and Studio Display 17 Beta 3 as updates for other devices. The build number for both iOS 17 Beta 3 and iPadOS 17 Beta 3 is 21A5277h. The update weighs over 900MB on the majority of mobile devices. There are still many weeks until the public release of iOS 17.
When it comes to changes and improvements, the third beta introduces significant enhancements to the features introduced in the first two beta updates. You can find the detailed list of changes below. Credit to Aaron Zollo from Zollotech for the list.
