Apple Releases First iOS 8.4 Beta with All-New Music App

Apple on Tuesday seeded the first iOS 8.4 beta to developers for testing. The release took place just five days after the official release of iOS 8.3 to users worldwide. The most-recent version of Apple’s mobile operating system can boast of several minor improvements and one easily-noticeable feature, which is a revamped Music app, which is not only working faster, but also has a completely new design.

Below you may take a look at the short video created by MacRumors reporters showing the redesigned Music app as well as at the list of its improvements.

• All-New Design of the App
• Recently Added Albums and Playlists
• Streamlined iTunes Radio
• Revamped MiniPlayer
• Tweaked Now Playing Section
• Up Next Icon in Now Playing
• Global Search in the Music app.

The first iOS 8.4 beta has a build number 12H4074d and is available from Apple’s developer portal. However, this iOS version in general and the Music app in particular are quite unstable and contain a number of bugs, that is why I don’t think it will be smart to install this beta on your main device.

Apart from seeding iOS 8.4 beta to developers, Apple also made the Xcode 6.4 beta available for testing. It can be downloaded from the developer portal as well.
