Update: Public beta now available too.

Two weeks after the second developer beta, Apple has released iOS 11.4 beta 3 for testing. iOS 11.4 includes unreleased features like AirPlay 2 and Messages on iCloud. There’s also a new wallpaper for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. We’ll dig in to the new version and detail changes below.

Transform your reality and do everything you love in totally new ways. Welcome to Meta Quest 3S. Now you can get the Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-month trial of Meta Quest+ (a combined $70 value) with purchase.

Beta 1

• Messages in iCloud has returned for testing after being included in iOS 11.3 beta and not the release
• AirPlay 2 returns when used with tvOS 11.4

Beta 2

• HomePod stereo pairing (which didn’t work without HomePod beta) removed from beta 2
