Apple has issued the fourth beta version of MacOS Ventura 13.5, iOS 16.6, and iPadOS 16.6 to users who are testing betas of the current generation of system software.

No significant features or changes are expected in iOS 16.6, iPadOS 16.6, and macOS Ventura 13.5, as Apple is undoubtedly spending the majority of their beta efforts on iOS 17 beta, iPadOS 17 beta, and MacOS Sonoma 14 beta, which are concurrently available.

MacOS Ventura beta testers can locate macOS Ventura 13.5 beta 4 to download from the  Apple menu > System Settings > General > Software Update.

iPhone and iPad beta testers can find the iOS 16.6 beta 4 and iPadOS 16.6 beta 4 version available from Settings app > General > Software Update.

As always, backup your device before installing any beta system software, or system software in general.

Apple tends to go through several beta versions before issuing a finalized version to the general public, suggesting that the final versions of iOS 16.6, iPadOS 16.6, and MacOS Ventura 13.5 are likely to be released sometime in July.

The most recent stable versions of system software are currently MacOS Ventura 13.4.1, macOS Monterey 12.6.7, macOS Big Sur 11.7.8, iOS 16.5.1, iPadOS 16.5.1, iOS 15.7.7, and iPadOS 15.7.7.
