Apple releases new version of iOS 18 beta 4 for developers

Apple has released an updated version of iOS 18 beta 4 for developers. The new version comes just days after the original developer beta 4.

The original iOS 18 developer beta 4 released earlier this week, on Tuesday, July 23. Due to perhaps some undisclosed issue discovered in the release, Apple has now replaced it with a new beta 4.

Today’s beta 4 comes with a new build number of 22A5316K.

It is possible the new beta 4 paves the way for the addition of Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18. However, it could also simply exist because Apple discovered a vulnerability in the first version that needed addressing.

Apple released an updated developer beta 3 in recent weeks before launching the first iOS 18 public beta. The company could be making a similar move here, with the revised developer beta 4 preceding public beta 2 on Monday.

The original beta 4 released included a variety of new features and changes, such as:

  • New wallpapers for CarPlay
  • Redesigned folder for Hidden apps
  • RCS expansion to more carriers
  • Dark mode icons while in light mode
  • Various interface tweaks

We will keep you posted on any discoveries of new changes in the revised developer beta 4.
