AppleInsider StaffDevelopers can now download iOS 6 beta 3 from Software Update on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. In addition, full downloads are also available from Apple's developer portal.
People familiar with the latest build indicated that there are new options in the Settings application for Apple's new Maps software. Specifically, the third beta now allows developers to customize certain aspects like the volume of turn-by-turn navigation, and whether to measure distances in miles or kilometers.
The last update, which arrived in late June, included a pair of fixes related to touchscreen keyboard performance. iOS 6 beta 3 is compatible with the third-generation iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and fourth-generation iPod touch. The final software will be released to the public this fall.
iOS 6 was formally announced last month at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Developers were also provided with the first beta after its unveiling, allowing them to test their applications before the formal public launch this fall.

Mid-July and we are at beta 3. Maybe we'll see the final prior to "fall"
Lets see what new changes are in store for us, My OTA update showing as Beta 2 however, I wonder if thats just a glitch? Edit: It is a glitch, I went through with the install anyways and it did install the Beta 3 flawlessly.

I wonder if they plugged that in-app purchasing hack
[quote name="GadgetCanada" url="/t/151299/apple-releases-ios-6-beta-3-to-developers#post_2147732"]I wonder if they plugged that in-app purchasing hack [/quote] Hmm Perhaps, Although I'm sure they are working on a public fix for it(One that wont require a software update), as this hack I'm sure is causing tremendous revenue loss as well as causing a huge security loophole.
