News: Apple Releases iOS 13.2 Developer Beta 4 for iPhone

Another day, another beta, right? Well, that's not always the case. Apple can be pretty inconsistent when it comes to beta releases. In the past, a beta release once every two weeks was pretty much guaranteed. Nowadays, these updates can come at any time. Consider today's release, iOS 13.2 developer beta 4, which comes one week after the release of dev beta 3.

Apple released the fourth developer beta for 13.2 at 1 p.m. EDT (10 a.m. PDT), its usual release time for beta seeds. Keep in mind, this update only concerns developers — Apple released the fourth public beta for 13.2 just hours after the dev beta.

• Update: Apple Officially Releases iOS 13.2 for iPhone

As for what beta 4 brings to the 13.2 table, it appears the answer is "not much," following in the footsteps of its predecessor. Dev beta 3 was a minor update in its own right, including mostly bug fixes and stability updates.

Once again, Apple didn't have much to say with its release notes. Normally, these notes add context to any bug or issues present in the update, but for the second release in a row, Apple essentially had no notes to share. Check them out below, it's a quick read:
