News: Apple Releases iOS 14.7 Beta 3 for iPhone

Apple released the third iOS 14.7 public beta for iPhone Tuesday, June 15. The update comes one day after Apple released the third 14.7 developer beta, and twelve days after the second iOS 14.7 beta, which was only released to registered developers.

Apple released this update to developers at 10 a.m. PDT on Monday. The company followed suit with public beta 3 just over 24 hours later. The update marks the first for public testers since iOS 14.7 beta 1. Apple never confirmed why, although the company might have skipped public beta 2 due to some complaints of a "SIM failure" error.
