Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 4

Apple Seeds iOS 7 Beta 4

We reported earlier today that Apple was expected to seed iOS 7 beta 4 today. The release was actually expected last week, but given the fact that Apple Developer Center was down for almost eight days, iOS 7 beta 4 comes later than expected. Apart from a host of items listed in the changelog, the latest beta of iOS 7 brings a number of improvements and bug fixes.

Apple has reportedly made a couple of subtle tweaks to the lock screen. To the left of the “slide to unlock” text an arrow pointing right has been added. The graphics for quick launch and notification center are also said to have been changed to straight lines as opposed to arrows. Beta firmware is only available to registered Apple developers, who can either download it from the Developer Center or on their devices over-the-air if they have a previous beta of iOS 7 up and running. A recent rumor suggests that Apple may releases two more betas before finally rolling out the GM build. Apple has said that it will release iOS 7 for the public this fall, an exact date is yet to be provided.

iOS 7 Beta 4 Reportedly Being Seeded Today

iOS 7 Beta 4 Reportedly Being Seeded Today

For over one week Apple’s Developer Center was shut down after it had been hacked. Yesterday we reported that the Developer Center was back up and today a new report from BGR claims that Apple will be seeding iOS 7 beta 4 today now that its developer site is back up. Up till now the company has released a new beta of iOS 7 every fortnight. iOS 7 beta 4 is expected to be seeded out today at 1 pm EDT / 10 am PDT.

Apple doesn’t confirm in advance the release time-frame of its beta firmware, so the only way to know for sure if iOS 7 beta 4 is going to come out today is to wait and see. The report also claims that Apple will release just two more betas before it seeds the gold master or GM build. The GM build is followed by the public release, which we know is going to take place this fall. UI and graphics enhancements, bug fixes and a few other updates are expected in the yet to be released beta of iOS 7. Apple only seeds beta firmware to registered developers.
