We don't yet know exactly what features, bug fixes, or changes will be introduced in the macOS Sierra 10.12.4 beta, but because it accompanies
iOS 10.3, it could be a more significant update that focuses on changes beyond bug fixes. According to Apple, the update includes a new
Night Shift mode that automatically shifts the display color to the warmer end of the spectrum after night, offering Mac users an alternative to F.lux. Night Shift has been available on iOS devices since iOS 9.3.
macOS Sierra 10.12.4 also includes Shanghainese dictation support for converting text to speech, and
Siri will soon gain the ability to display cricket scores.
