It’s an exciting time to be an Apple fan. Monday saw not only a major announcement of new Apple services and subscriptions but also the official release of iOS 12.2. If you’re a beta tester, you probably watched 12.2’s evolution over the last two months. Well, get ready to do it all over again — Apple just released the first developer beta for iOS 12.3 today, Wednesday, March 27.
The update adds a new icon for the TV app, and includes Apple TV Channels, as introduced by Apple on stage earlier this week. Beta testers will notice Apple TV Channels is a complete overhaul of the TV app, including the ability to watch subscription services without needing to leave the app.
