With iOS 12.3 out the door, it’s time to start focusing on iOS 12.4.
That being said, Apple released the first developer beta of its iOS 12.4 operating system on Wednesday. Although specific changes have yet to be announced, it’s generally stated that simple bug and security fixes don’t receive a major point-release status.
Those who are part of Apple’s developer program can register a device for developer betas by heading to developer.apple.com/download. Those who are not in the developer program can register their devices for public beta releases by visiting beta.apple.com while using the device on which they wish to run the beta software. While many beta releases are stable and even include new bug fixes, we suggest you do not run beta releases on your primary iOS device.
It’s thought that iOS 12.4 will help prepare iOS for the release of the Apple Card, which is due this summer. It’s also rumored to help provide support for Apple Arcade and Apple TV+, which are due out this fall.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
