iOS 9 Beta 4?

[The Tos]

Do we expect the beta 4 dev build to be the same as the beta 4 public beta build?

That's if PB2 happens.

Beta 2 just expired on one of my devices so I'm expecting 4 today.

Hoping today, but expecting next week

is that usually the case? when a beta expires it signals imminent release of new one?

I thought recent betas didn't even have expiration dates anymore.

It used to be, but it seems as of late that Apple has been either not putting an expiration date or making it way in the future

Someone on the dev forums said theirs expired too

He said that his Beta 2 expired so there already IS a new one out with beta 3.

Perhaps they made it so the expiration date of the one before the newest one coincides with a new beta.

This is a good reason and I hope it's the case but someone else said next Tuesday to put off the launch of Windows 10 which launches a day later!

well with apple music being down... maybe they'll push it back to tomorrow.

Different teams, so I doubt it, if it's scheduled for today I am sure they will continue.

I doubt it comes today... only reason is due to Apple's earnings report is today. I think it will be next week.

But that's beta 2. Beta 3 was released 2 weeks ago for developers. I don't think this means anything other than the developer didn't update to the latest build.

It's interesting how much of a difference we have in threads/posts regarding this beta compared to beta 3. Beta 3 blew MacRumors up.

This suggests that the current betas are definetly usable.

Not really. It's more likely because the release window wasn't announced ahead of time as well as the fact that last time a lot of people were waiting for Apple Music support and the public beta.

Beta 4 could bring very small changes in comparison as far as we know.

Apple can't do two things on the same day? They can. Updates are normally released in two hours time, the earnings call is six hours away.

See above. Responded this already.

Agreed. But I just wanted to put my 2 cents in . I don't mind being wrong...

 

[skwood]

I think the betas will be delayed until tomorrow due to the downtime on a lot of their services. How would they distribute DP4 of El Cap if the MAS is down?

 

[clunkmess]

I really believe we'll be able to find beta 4 today.

lol. stirring is different to trolling.. both are fun in their own way.

Beta 4 in 2.5 hours people
