Apple has unveiled the latest beta release, developer beta 3, for iPadOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, visionOS 26.4, and more. This update is available for Apple's developer beta program members. The beta 3 versions can be installed through the Software Update section within your device's Settings app. This release follows the arrival of beta 2 last week, which introduced minimal changes across the platforms. The 26.4 software cycle has been packed with new features, many of which were initially available in the first beta. For instance, iPadOS 26.4 brings enhancements to Apple Music, a new video experience in Apple Podcasts, and the return of the compact tab bar in Safari. tvOS 26.4 also includes updates, such as a new subtitle customization option and special audio settings. The most significant update in visionOS 26.4 is support for 'foveated streaming,' a feature that could have a substantial impact on app and game performance over time. However, it currently relies on third-party app support, so beta users may not notice significant changes. We'll keep you informed about any additional new features discovered in the beta 3 releases.
