Apple released the Release Candidates for iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4, as well as tvOS 15.4, watchOS 8.5 and macOS 12.3. Some builds that, after the number of changes we saw in the first release, then the second, then the third, should follow the fourth beta and focus on fine-tuning the details before the official launch next week.
A beta cycle full of new features that will soon be official
After iOS 15.2 brought us a long list of changes and iOS 15.3 focused almost exclusively on performance improvements and bug fixes, it’s news time again with iOS 15.4 and macOS Monterey 12.3.
Recall that iOS 15.4 brings Universal Control, the ability to use Face ID with a mask on our iPhone, new emoji, keychain changes and improvements, Tap to Pay and much more. On Mac, the main novelty is the arrival of Universal Control, which shows good performance from the first version, but which has evolved in each of the different betas.
Now with the final release of the various versions scheduled for next week, Apple is focusing on finishing making sure everything is working properly. With this, it is to be hoped that these RCs do not have more novelties than those that we have already discovered.
If we want to enter the beta cycle we can do it following these steps, but we must bear in mind that we are talking about development versions with bugs.
Already in the beta cycle we will find the update in the app Settings as OTA update. During the first few hours, Apple’s servers may receive more requests than usual, so the wait time may be longer.
