The new software was formally unveiled back in June and it’s going to arrive for all supported devices by next month.
It has only been a couple of weeks since the previous iOS 9 beta was released, each new beta build features some tweaks and improvements that Apple makes following feedback from beta testers about bugs or issues that they might have encountered.
