iOS 13.4 and iOS 13.4 Beta releases
Apple began its beta-testing of the iOS 13.4 a week after the release of iOS 13.3.1. And all the beta releases so far have some newly added features. But the official iOS 13.4 is to be expected this March 24, 2020, according to some sources.
And if you are a developer, the Apple Developer Program provides everything you need to build and distribute your apps on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. It gives access to beta OS releases. As such, App developers can perform necessary updates on their apps before the official release is available.
iOS 13.4 release: What is to be expected
- iOS 13.4 release will now allow iOS users to share iCloud folder. This feature is one of the expected features most iOS user have been longing for. Also, iPadOS 13.4 and MacOS 10.15.4 will have this new feature as well.
- The iOS 13.4 release is likely to bring the CarPay and Carkey features. This new feature will allow Car manufacturers to build apps using the Carkey API which can be used to lock, unlock and even start cars with NFC capabilities. The evidence of this new feature was spotted on the first official beta release for iOS 13.4 by 9to5Mac.
- OS Recovery is another expected feature for iOS 13.4. This was revealed on the 3rd beta release for iOS 13.4. With this new feature in place, iOS users can now perform system recovery without the need to connect to the PC. Again, 9to5Mac discovered that it would be possible to restore the iOS directly over-the-air as well as by connecting the device via USB to another iPhone or iPad, similar to how Apple’s Migration Tool works.
- A new mail toolbar option with four common functions:
- Send to Trash
- Move Message
- Flag
- Reply.
- New stock emoji stickers.
- Another long-awaited feature is the "combined purchase for iOS and Mac". As such in-app purchases can be shared across iOS and macOS app versions once the unified purchase feature is enabled by the app developer.
