**Apple iOS 17.2 Developer Beta 4 Available: What's New and Not**

The latest Apple iOS 17.2 developer beta 4 is now available, bringing with it several changes, additions, and removals of features. One of the first things that stands out is the size of the download, which was approximately 500 to 600 megabytes for this particular build.

**Settings General Changes**

As we dive into the Settings app, specifically the General section, one notable change is the renaming of the "Coverage" option. In previous beta versions, this option was labeled as "Coverage," but in iOS 17.2 beta 4, it has been renamed to "Apple Care and Warranty." This change may seem minor, but it's a notable shift nonetheless.

**Sound and Haptic Changes**

Another significant change is the addition of the ability to customize default alerts and haptic feedback on your iPhone. For years, users have been asking for this feature, and Apple has finally listened. Within the Sound and Haptic settings, you can now change the default alert tone and haptic feedback, giving users more control over their notification experience.

**Collaborative Playlist Feature Removed**

Unfortunately, one of the biggest features that was expected to be included in iOS 17.2 beta 4 is no longer available in this version. The collaborative playlist feature with Apple Music, which allowed users to share a single playlist with friends and family members around them, has been removed from the settings. This feature was showcased in previous beta versions, but it's unclear why it's no longer available.

**Expected Release Dates**

As for when we can expect the next beta version, also known as beta 5, it's likely to be released on the week of December 4th, followed by the release candidate (RC) on the week of December 11th. If Apple follows this pattern, they'll most likely release iOS 17.2 to everyone worldwide on the week of December 18th. However, as with any software update, anything can change.

**iOS 17.1.2 Minor Update in the Works**

In addition to the upcoming iOS 17.2 release, Apple is also working on a minor software update, iOS 17.1.2, which is intended to fix some issues and bugs before the main release. This update may arrive as early as tomorrow or the following day, although no official announcement has been made by Apple.

**Conclusion**

The latest iOS 17.2 developer beta 4 brings a mix of good news and bad news for users. On one hand, we have new features like customizable alerts and haptic feedback, which are long-overdue. On the other hand, the removal of the collaborative playlist feature is a disappointment. Regardless, Apple's commitment to releasing regular updates with bug fixes and improvements ensures that users will continue to benefit from their latest software offerings.

release the software this is just based on my experience of years covering iOS now apple is also working on iOS 17.1 .2 which is a minor software update which is intended to fix a few issues before the release of 17.2 so we still got about 3 weeks before we get ios 17.2 maybe a little more than that and then Apple will most likely release this week iOS 1.1.2 to address a few bugs and issues to
