Apple today released the fourth developer beta of iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS Catalina 10.15.4, and tvOS 13.4, a week after the release of the third beta. macOS Catalina 10.15.4 adds real-time lyrics support to the Apple Music app. At the same time, the ADM processor code was also found in 10.15.4, which could mean that Apple is testing the AMD processor for the Macbook.
