While most developers are probably already giving iOS 9 a test drive, Apple is still working on the upcoming iOS 8.4 update and just released a new version. iOS 8.4 build 12H4125a is now available on Apple’s developer center and as an OTA update for testers on the previous version.
Today’s release marks the fourth beta version of iOS 8.4 after first being seeded out in April. The update includes a redesigned Music app, audiobook playback through iBooks and CarPlay, and iBooks Author textbook support on iPhone.
Apple Music, the company’s new subscription music service, launches later this month on June 30th. iOS 8.4’s public release will likely be timed ahead of the new service’s debut.

um… isn’t it the build 12H4125a? I guess the build 13A4254v is on iOS 9
Also available for public beta tester as beta 3 :D SWEET :D
It doesn’t appear that the public beta includes the new music app.
Yes, that always messes with me. Installing Beta 3 now. :)
where is the music app?
where ever you put it on your home screen or in a folder
Is Apple Music working on this beta? 🙈 I can not wait for Apple Music, and I love radio actually
You actually like commercial broadcast radio?
no Apple music has not launched yet so its not going to be available in beta
Does this contain the same music app found in the iOS 9 beta?
actually iOS 9 has the same music app as iOS 8.4
