Everybody thought that Apple will release the new beta of iOS 8 on Tuesday, July the 8th. For this reason, a notice was released to the developers to back-up their CloudKid data before July 7th, as the servers will be wiped. However, the Californian tech giant is way ahead of schedule. The new build number 12A4318c and the Beta is now available for all iOS devices - iPad, iPhone and iPod touch over-the-air via Software Update or from the Developer Center.

Here are some of the noted changes on this release:

• A new version of Find My iPhone and Find My Friends. As macrumors.com reports, the new Find My Friends enables users to move their friends list to an iCloud account when neededsary.

• iCloud Drive replaced the "Documents and Data" menu in iCloud Settings. Users can still opt to upgrade to iCloud.
• Users can now enable or disable Handoff - a feature that allows the user to continue on his Mac computer whatever he started on the iPhone. That button can be found under the General Menu in the Settings app.
• The Weather app interface was changed to display AM/PM for times, while the full info for the day has been centered to a column instead of two in Beta 2.
• The new iOS displays albums from Aperture. "Shared Photo Streams" menu was renamed to "Shared Albums".
