Apple today released the fourth public beta versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, tvOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate, allowing anyone with a compatible device to download and test the new software. The fourth betas come a week after Apple launched the third betas and just hours after the sixth developer betas.
You can get started by signing up on Apple’s beta website, then signing up for the public beta by opening the Settings app on your device, selecting General, and choosing Software Update.
We are nearing the end of the beta testing process and few new features have been found in the current developer betas. macOS Golden Gate includes new wallpapers, while iOS 27 has a shortcuts start screen and a new Game Center icon.
