🆕 Apple has released new 'betas' for its systems

In addition to iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and visionOS 2 received the update. All of them got the fourth beta versions for developers.

There small changes to a number of features throughout the operating system in this beta, but Apple is continuing to refine existing settings and design choices. So, what’s new for iOS 18 beta 4?

CarPlay Wallpapers
New Light Mode and Dark Mode wallpaper options for CarPlay, and the new wallpaper mirrors the wallpapers that have been added on the iPhone.

Settings
A new way to access iCloud settings in the Settings app. There's now an ‌iCloud‌ option paired with App Store, Game Center, and Wallet. ‌iCloud‌ settings can still be accessed by tapping on your Apple Account and choosing ‌iCloud‌ from that interface.

Camera Controls
There is a new "Controls Menu" option under Preserve Settings in the Camera section of the Settings app, . The Controls Menu preserves the previously used camera tool when expanding the controls menu rather than showing the full list of camera control options when using the Camera app.

Dark Mode/Light Mode Icons
The ‌Dark Mode‌ and Light Mode icons are now appropriately synced to the Light and ‌Dark Mode‌ settings on the ‌iPhone‌ when you use the "Automatic" setting under Customize.

Hidden Folder
Apple has changed the design of the Hidden folder in the App Library. Rather than showing an icon of an eye with a line through it, it is now blanked out app squares, which makes it stand out less.

iPhone Mirroring
This is a macOS Sequoia feature more than an ‌iOS 18‌ feature, but when using ‌iPhone‌ Mirroring with ‌macOS Sequoia‌ beta 4, you can change the size of the ‌iPhone‌ window on your Mac's display.

Control Center
There's a new Control Center toggle for Bluetooth, but it is not yet working. Apple also added a Silent Mode/Mute toggle and an Accessibility Eye Mirroring option.

AssistiveTouch
There are new Type to Siri and Apple Watch Mirroring options available for AssistiveTouch.

Apple Intelligence
It is still continuing to prepare to implement Apple Intelligence in the beta in the not too distant future.

🆕 detail about the iPhone 17 Slim and alleged specifications for the iPhone SE4

Earlier, we reported that the iPhone 17, which is scheduled to be released next year, would not only be the thinnest smartphone from Apple, but also the most expensive.

Now, it has become known that in order to achieve this record-breaking thickness, cameras will be sacrificed, and the phone will only have one module, instead of the two or three that are customary in other Apple smartphones. This will result in a body thickness of only 5 millimeters.

The iPhone SE4, which is expected to launch in spring 2025, will feature a more modern design and an OLED display with 60H support. Its price is estimated to be between $500 and $550.

🤔 Although this information comes from reputable sources such as Ming-Chi Kuo and Ice Universe, it should still be taken with caution.

🐒 A new show coming to Apple TV+, here’s the first trailer

🆕 Yesterday Apple released the first trailer for the new comedy series “Bad Monkey” that will debut soon!

🕺 “Bad Monkey” was created as a partnership between Ted Lasso’s creator, Bill Lawrence, and Vince Vaughan. Vaughan not only stars in the series, but was also its executive producer alongside Lawrence.

🍿 Based on Carl Hiaasen’s New York Times bestselling novel and enduring cult favorite, “Bad Monkey” tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.

📱 Apple TV+ will debut the first two episodes of Bad Monkey on Wednesday, August 14, with weekly releases thereafter. This freshman season of the show will have 10 episodes in total.
