A few moments ago, Apple seeded the seventh Beta builds of its upcoming iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 operating systems to registered developers enrolled in the Apple Developer program.

Coming a week after the Beta 6 builds, the iOS 11 Beta 7 (15A5362a), macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta 7 (17A352a), and tvOS 11 Beta 7 (15J5369a) development Betas are now available for download from your Apple Developer account, along with the Xcode 9 Beta 6 IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

You can install them on your supported, registered devices via OTA (Over-the-Air) updates on iOS and tvOS, as well as through the Mac App Store on macOS. If you're using last week's Beta 6, it is recommended that you update your devices to the new Beta as soon as possible.

iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra 10.13 Public Beta 6 coming soon

As you probably noticed, Apple didn't update the watchOS 4 Beta, which remains at the Beta 6 build at the moment of writing. However, we expect Apple to launch the sixth Public Beta of iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra 10.13 to public beta testers in the coming hours.

As for the new features, we believe that there won't be as many changes as the previous Beta releases introduced, if you monitored our reports in the past weeks. And, as usual, we'll have a more in-depth article ready in the next few hours with more details on the improvements implemented in these new Betas.

Now that Beta 7 builds are here, the final releases of iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, watchOS 4, tvOS 11, Xcode 9, macOS Server 5.4, and other supported software are just around the corner. We believe that this is the last Beta for this cycle, but it's possible that Apple may release another one next week if critical bugs are found. Anyway, the final versions should hit the streets early September.

Update: Apple released the Public Beta 6 builds of iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 operating systems to public beta testers. Please read that article as it also contains information about the new changes Apple's engineers implemented in the latest iOS 11 Public Beta release.
