Apple deploys third public beta releases of macOS 10.13 High Sierra, iOS 11, tvOS 11

I don’t recall where I read it, but the fourth iOS 11 developer’s beta has some new bugs in it that Apple has noted. Some are not hidden either. I don’t remember what they are, offhand, but I do remember thinking that it wasn’t good. I’m going to try to find this, but I can’t promise when.

ok, it wasn’t that hard to find after all:

Those with access to developer betas typically log into Apple's developer portal to view the Release Notes before installing.

I’m really talking about the consumer beta here, which is what the article is about. I brought up the developer beta because that was what I was reading about, and as the consumer beta is usually an exact duplicate of the developer beta, the same information pertains to both.

most consumers who have the public betas aren’t as interested as developers in the problems, and will download it without knowing anything about it. They also have no access to the developer site, or don’t know how to access it. I’m not interested in the developers site either, because I’m much more interested in information that can be accessed more easily from general interest and Mac friendly sites, as that’s where people will find this info, should they care to look.

developers are, I would hope, interested in the advantages and negatives of betas, as it affects their work. I would hope they could worry about it themselves without depending on AI, or other sites.

Huge improvements over PB3.  Hallelujah!

BTW Mac Store reports this as Dev Beta even though I am only in the PB.  Probably just a missed string in the build.
