Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Preserved release-note state

Apple’s archived page labels this milestone as Beta 4 in its iOS 9 SDK documentation. The source contains 39 component headings, 49 status groups, and 91 leaf records in Apple’s preserved page; this article structures 37 high-signal records.[1]

How the milestone is bounded

The retained Beta 3 and Beta 4 pages permit a bounded comparison. Explicit fixed headings are attached directly, while additions are limited to records absent from the exact preceding retained state.[2][3]

Selected coverage

The selection covers explicit Beta 4 fixes plus conservative additions verified against the retained Beta 3 state. Repeated issues retain one stable identity as they move from a known state to Apple’s fixed section.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]

Editorial boundary

The article paraphrases the source in original language, preserves short technical names only where needed for identification, and claims neither exhaustive user-visible changes nor a build number. Beta 2 and GM remain timeline-only because the audited evidence does not isolate their release-note bodies.[51][52]
