14 DAY TRIAL // Today, August 26, 2016, Apple has seeded the eighth Beta build of the upcoming iOS 10 mobile operating system to developers enrolled in the Apple Developer program, along with the seventh Public Beta to public beta testers.
iOS 10 Beta 8 and Public Beta 7 builds are here just one week after the Beta 7 and Public Beta 6 releases announced last Friday, on August 19, 2016, and they contain even more fixes and under-the-hood improvements to further polish existing functionality, as well as to harden the security of the operating system used in all iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
There are currently no details about the exact changes implemented in these new Beta releases. Still, we have a feeling that they have something to do with the fact that Apple pushed the fifth stable maintenance update to the iOS 9 series of its mobile OS last evening, patching two kernel security issues and a WebKit bug that could have allowed attackers to steal sensitive information.
iOS 10 coming in September
Now that Apple has seeded the eighth Beta build to developers and Public Beta 7 to everyone else, we firmly believe that it's also the last we'll see from the Cupertino company, which will soon prepare for its September event where a new iPhone could be unveiled, powered, of course, by the final release of the iOS 10 mobile operating system.
The rest of the world should also be able to update their devices to iOS 10 in September, but there's currently no release date set in stone. Besides iOS 10, Apple will also unveil new versions of its other OSes, including macOS 10.12 Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10, along with the Xcode 8 IDE for developers and probably a new stable version of the open-source Swift programming language.
