Apple Returns with Third Beta of iOS 11.4

Today, Apple returned to the public eye with the release of the third beta of iOS 11.4 for developers and public beta testers. The update comes in at a small size of 220.7 megabytes on my iPhone 8 Plus, but this size may vary depending on the device and firmware being used. In this article, we will take a closer look at the bill number, changes, and features of iOS 11.4 Beta 3.

The Bill Number: A Look Back

The bill number for iOS 11.4 Beta 3 is 15F5061I. As expected, there will be one or two more betas released before the final version of iOS 11.4. The developer has noted that this update will likely bring some changes to the operating system, but so far, no significant updates have been noticed.

Changes in Beta 3

Upon examining the beta, it appears that no new features or changes have been added. However, a bug previously mentioned in earlier videos has been patched. This issue was known as the 3D touch lag after unlocking and was introduced with iOS 11.3. The fix is welcome news for users who experienced this delay before unlocking their device and then attempting to use 3D Touch on an icon.

The update also fixes a three-second delay between unlocking a device and being able to use 3D Touch on an icon. This was a significant annoyance for many users, and the fix brings much-needed relief. As for performance, it seems that iOS 11.4 Beta 3 is about as fluid and smooth as its predecessor, beta 2.

Battery Life in Beta 3

In terms of battery life, there appears to be some improvement over the earlier betas. In a comparison with beta 1 and beta 3, beta 2 shows better battery life, although it remains to be seen whether this trend will continue in future updates. The developer has noted that they may make a follow-up video in the fourth beta to discuss any changes to battery life and performance.

Messages in iCloud Remain

Fortunately, messages in iCloud remain available for users who access their iCloud settings. This feature was previously removed in earlier versions of iOS 11.4 Beta, but it seems that it will continue to be supported in this update. However, the developer has noted that this may not be the case when the final version of iOS 11.4 is released.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the third beta of iOS 11.4 brings a welcome fix for the 3D touch lag issue that plagued earlier versions of the operating system. While no new features or changes have been added to this update, it remains to be seen what future betas and the final release will bring. The developer has promised to provide updates on any changes to battery life and performance in future videos. In the meantime, users can rest assured that their devices are getting closer to a stable and feature-rich iOS 11.4.
