Apple released today the third Beta builds of all of its upcoming operating systems, including iOS 10.3, macOS Sierra 10.12.4, tvOS 10.2, and watchOS 3.2, as well as the Xcode 8.3 IDE for developers enrolled into the company's Apple Developer program.

It's been exactly two weeks since Apple released the second Beta builds of iOS 10.3, watchOS 3.2 and tvOS 10.2, and macOS 10.12.4, but it appears that the company was busy to show us the details of this year's annual WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) event, where they will unveil the features of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Today's Beta 3 release is, for the first time in a while, available for all upcoming products. Our Apple Developer account now displays the iOS 10.3 Beta 3 (14E5249d), macOS 10.12.4 Beta 3 (16E163f), tvOS 10.2 Beta 3 (14W5241c), watchOS 3.2 Beta 3 (14V5224d), and Xcode 8.3 Beta 3 (8W132p) versions.

New Public Betas are coming soon for iOS 10.3 and macOS 10.12.4

The changes included are small and Apple only fixed an issue with the Find My iPhone app to support the Play Sound and Location functions for finding your lost AirPods, which didn't work correctly in the Beta 2 build. Other than that, Xcode 8.3 Beta 3 comes with the latest SDKs (Software Development Kits) of the iOS, macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS Beta releases.

If you've read our previous reports, you should be aware of the new features coming to the iOS 10.3, macOS 10.12.4, watchOS 3.2, and tvOS 10.2 operating systems next month, and you can also check out the release notes for each one on your Apple Developer account, where you'll be able to download the new Beta builds and install them on your registered devices.

As usual, after a period of 24 hours, Apple should release the third Public Beta builds of the iOS 10.3 and macOS 10.12.4 operating systems to public beta testers who are brave enough to install these development versions on their devices to get an early taste of the new features. We'll let you know as soon as iOS 10.3 Public Beta 3 and macOS 10.12.4 Public Beta 3 are out.
