Apple has just come out with the iOS 9.3 beta 7, the final build that developers and testers registered to Apple's beta program will ever get to play around with before the software's final and fully functional form releases next week.

Apple iOS 9.3 beta 7 comes just a week after the sixth beta was launched. Its biggest feature to boast is called the Night Shift mode, which switches the temperature of the display at night to make it less harsh to the eyes.

The software does this by reducing the blue color and light on the display and shifts to a yellow color scheme, which is believe to be easy on the eyes when using the devices during the night or when it's dark.

Several apps also got some love from the iOS 9.3 beta 7. The Apple Health and Apple News apps now display personal recommendations. The latter now provides detailed view of the Workouts menu and other fitness data.

With the iOS 9.3 beta 7, the Cupertino-based company was able to give users the power to individually protect their files and entries in the Notes app with either a password or Touch ID.

The latest beta build of the iOS 9.3 also perks up the iPad for education program with the use of the new multi-user login, which is sadly available to MDM customers only. It looks like this feature won't be available to everyone.

The Apple Music app in CarPlay now displays a list of music fit to the user's taste based on the songs and artists he or she follows and listens to. The app also keeps users with the latest music releases with the "New" pane.

In Carplay Maps, users can now make use of the Nearby Feature as previewed in the iOS 9.3 beta 7 to be notified if an area of interest is in proximity.

Apple iOS 9.3 also brings in features exclusive to various iPhone units. Those powered by Verizon can now take advantage of Wi-Fi calling and will notice various improvements in Apple Music and iCloud for iBooks.

As for the Apple iPhone 6s, the iOS 9.3 beta 7 comes with Quick Actions for the App Store, Compass, Health, iTunes Store, Weather and Settings. Devices running iOS 9.3 with watchOS 2.2 can now connect to several Apple Watch units.

The Apple iOS 9.3 beta 7 is now ready for download. More details about the final build of iOS 9.3 should be revealed during Apple's March 21 event.
