14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, Apple has seeded today the second Beta build of the upcoming macOS 10.12.4 Sierra operating system to registered developers, along with the second iOS 10.3 Public Beta to everyone else who wants to get an early taste.
These new Beta versions come just one day after the release of the Beta 2 builds of Apple's upcoming iOS 10.3, watchOS 3.2, and tvOS 10.2 operating systems, as well as Xcode 8.3 IDE.
Tagged as build 16E154a, the second macOS 10.12.4 Sierra Beta is now available for installation to all registered developers, who only need to run the Sierra Developer Beta Access utility to download and install the latest macOS Sierra Beta.
macOS 10.12.4 is the fourth maintenance update to the macOS Sierra series and promises to introduce a Night Shift functionality just like the one we're using on our iOS devices, which should improve our sleep.
It also brings Siri support for checking Cricket scores, player rosters, and schedules from the International Cricket Council and Indian Premier League, dictation support for Shanghainese language, and better PDF manipulation.
iOS 10.3 Public Beta 2 now ready for public testing
We also promised to inform our readers on the immediate availability of the second iOS 10.3 Public Beta release, which is now available for installation using the built-in OTA (Over-the-Air) system update of your supported iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch device.
If you're running the first iOS 10.3 Public Beta, we recommend updating your devices as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you don't intend to jump on the Public Beta bandwagon, it is recommended that you wait until the final iOS 10.3 release hits the streets.
In related news, Apple also seeded the first Beta release of Classroom 2.0, an application that turns your iPad into a powerful teaching assistant, helping teachers from all over the world to guide their students through a lesson, keep them on track, and watch their progress.
Safari 10.1 Beta 2 is available for testing as well from your Apple Developer account, along with the first Betas of macOS Server 5.3 and Apple Configurator 2.4, an app for macOS 10.12.4 or later that helps you set up and deploy groups of identically configured iOS devices.
