Apple is making strides in its development process, as it releases revised builds of iOS 18 beta 3 and macOS Sequoia beta 3. These new builds follow the initial beta 3 release by one week, signifying that the company is preparing to launch the first public betas of iOS 18 and macOS 15.

The newly updated build numbers for iOS 18 beta 3 and macOS Sequoia beta 3 are 22A5307i and 24A5289h, respectively. While the specific changes in these updated builds remain unclear, it is likely that they primarily aim to address additional bug fixes.

Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating the integration of Apple Intelligence (AI) features in the iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia betas. However, none of the AI-related functionality is currently available to beta users. Apple has stated that some AI features will be introduced later this summer, with others expected to arrive as late as 2025.

In the latest iOS 18 beta 3 update, Apple introduces a new variant of the default wallpaper that dynamically changes colors throughout the day. This update also enhances the new Photos app and refines the interface for the redesigned flashlight on iPhones featuring Dynamic Island. Additionally, RCS (Rich Communication Services) support has been enabled for more carriers worldwide.

Users are encouraged to keep a keen eye out for any changes or updates in today's iOS 18 beta or macOS 15 beta release.
