Apple has released the fourth public beta builds of its upcoming iOS 11.2.5, macOS High Sierra 10.13.3, and tvOS 11.2.5 operating system to public beta testers.

It took Apple only three and a half hours to release the Public beta 4 updates of the iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3, and tvOS 11.2.5 releases that were seeded to registered developers earlier today along with the watchOS 4.2.2 beta 4 update.

As such, public beta testers and literally anyone who is willing to use beta software on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, and Mac devices can now download and install the fourth Public beta of iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3, and tvOS 11.2.5.

Here are the supported devices

According to Apple, macOS 10.13.3 beta 4 supports MacBook Late 2009 or newer, MacBook Air Late 2010 or newer, MacBook Pro Mid 2010 or newer, Mac mini Mid 2010 or newer, iMac Late 2010 or newer, iMac Pro (2017), and Mac Pro Mid 2010 or newer.

On the other hand, iOS 11.2.5 beta 4 can be installed on iPhone 5S, iPhone SE, iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 6S/6S Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and iPhone X, while tvOS 11.2.5 can be installed on Apple TV 4th generation and Apple TV 4K.

Those using last week's Public beta 3 releases of iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3, and tvOS 11.2.5 are urged to update to today's Public beta 4 immediately after reading this as Apple has recently patched the Spectre security vulnerability in all three OSes and Safari.

If you're new to iOS, macOS, and tvOS public beta testing, you can always rely on our in-depth and straightforward tutorials on how to install the latest iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 Public Beta releases (herehere and here).

However, we don't recommend you to install and use beta software on your production devices as they might affect your stable experience. These beta builds still contain bugs, so it's wise to wait for the final release, which isn't far away now.
