Apple Releases iOS 11 Developer Beta 3 with 40+ Bug Fixes

Apple officially seeded the latest version of iOS 11 to developers the morning of July 10, 2017. The update comes more than two weeks after iOS 11 developer beta 2, and a month after iOS 11’s initial release. While iOS 11 brings many exciting new features like an updated Control Center, Screen Recording, ARKit, and Siri enhancements, be aware that the beta isn’t perfect.
