Apple today released the seventh beta of iOS 11 to developers, just a week after releasing the beta 6 and over two months introducing the new iPhone operating system at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Developers can download the beta OTA once you registered from Apple Developer Center.
The previous iOS 11 beta has revamped an app icon - Maps, fixed App Store and Reminder app icon. Beta 6 also fixed issues like when launching the App Store no longer stops other audio that's playing, Family Sharing features should work now, and all phone numbers are now displayed during a multi-party conference call.
Today's beta new changes include Music widget in Control Center displays the Music app icon, when no content is playing, as well as unlocking with Touch ID is a lot faster now. According to Apple's release notes there's a new known issue that causes user upgrading iOS 11 beta 5 to beta 6 or later to see their updates stall indefinitely. The fix is to delete the update from Settings > General > iPhone storage and then re-install.
Aside from releasing iOS 11 beta 7, Apple today also seeded macOS 10.13 beta 7, which is also known as macOS High Sierra, a week after seeding beta 6. Developers who registered from Apple Developer Center can update the software by going to the Mac App Store.
macOS High Sierra featuring a new Apple File System (APFS), High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC), and an updated version of Metal (Metal 2)l with support for VR and external GPUs. Several apps are gaining new features in macOS High Sierra: Photos app has a new filters and editing option, and Safari added an option to prevent autoplay videos, etc.
Apple also released tvOS 11 beta 7 to developers, one week after releasing the sixth beta. Developers who registered from Apple Developer Center can download the tvOS 11 update by connecting the Apple TV to a computer with a USB-C cable and installing the beta software using iTunes.
Today's update appears to include HDR assets for "J105a," the codename for next-generation Apple TV that capable of supporting a 4K resolution. hinting we could perhaps see a release of a new Apple TV in the near future.
