Third Public Beta of macOS Ventura 13.4 Now Available

Apple on Wednesday seeded the third public beta of macOS Ventura 13.4 to public beta testers. The second public beta was released two weeks ago.

Registered Public Beta Testers can download and install the macOS Ventura 13.3 public betas through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences after installing the proper profile.

Mac users who want to be a part of Apple’s beta testing program can sign up to participate on the Apple Beta Software Program website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS betas.

This beta adds a new beta installation method allowing developers and public beta testers to opt-in to receive beta updates without the need for a profile to be installed on their device. For developers, an Apple ID needs to be associated with a developer account to get access to a developer beta, while public beta testers need to sign up on Apple’s public beta website with their ‌Apple ID‌ and then elect to receive beta updates using the System Settings app.

There is no word as of yet on what’s included in ‌macOS Ventura‌ 13.4, and no new features have yet been found in the developer beta.

macOS Ventura is compatible with the following Mac models:

  • iMac 2017 and later
  • Mac Pro 2019 and later
  • iMac Pro 2017
  • Mac mini 2018 and later
  • MacBook Air 2018 and later
  • MacBook 2017 and later
  • MacBook Pro 2017 and later

As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users not to install any betas on their daily driver Mac, instead only installing betas on devices set aside for testing purposes.
