Busy Monday at Apple Headquarters. The tech giant has released plenty of updates dedicated to the developers for iOS and OS X. 
 
The most important news so far is that we have a brand new iTunes 12.0 that comes along with all the new tweaks Apple promised. 
 
Apple describes the new iTunes design as an elegant and streamlined one and explains the ability to share purchases with your family. There are also some new improvements that make organizing your library fun and easy. 
 
Family Sharing allows you to share your purchases from iTunes, iBooks and the App Store with up to six people in your family, without sharing the same account. 
 
Playlists have been improved. You can now see full library and playlists side by side, making it even easier to add your favorite songs to playlists. 
 
There's also a redesigned Info Window. When you press command+I or right click and get to the "Get Info" menu, you are going to see a clean look that displays the most useful info about your media, Apple explains.

For now, iOS 8 Beta 4 brings only small improvements  (according to 9to5mac.com): 

- New Settings Menu for Display, Text Size, and Bold text
 
- New HomeKit icon for data privacy
 
- New options for Messages history
 
- Animation is slightly slower when moving in and out of multitasking
 
- Bug Reporter application has been removed.

- The Control Center has been completely redesigned.

- New option to disable Lock screen app suggestions
 
- New Tips app
- Tweaked Emoji icon in Messages
 
- Minor tweaks to Multitasking mode’s frequent contacts section
