Apple has rolled out Release Candidate (RC) betas for tvOS 18.2, visionOS 2.2, and watchOS 11.2 ahead of their upcoming public release. Public beta versions are also available for Apple TV and Apple Watch. Here’s what you can anticipate from these latest updates.
Key Features of Upcoming Updates for Apple TV 4K and Others
The newest betas are labeled as RC, indicating they are the final candidates for public release.
Apple introduces RC updates at the conclusion of its beta phase, anticipating that these software versions will be the ones released to the general public.
Nonetheless, if significant bugs are identified during beta testing, Apple might need to adjust the software and even launch a new RC build if necessary.
This emphasis on stability and performance suggests that major new features or significant alterations are unlikely in the latest updates.
The standout features of this software update include new aspect ratio options alongside a Snoopy screensaver introduced in tvOS 18.2, while visionOS 2.2 brings significant changes for Mac Virtual Display. At this time, there are no known new features in watchOS 11.2.
Significant Software Changes on Other Apple Platforms
The limited updates for Apple TV 4K and Apple Watch during this software cycle can be attributed to Apple’s focus on integrating major AI features into iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, which include Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, and Image Playground.
To download today’s RC betas, navigate to the Software Update section on your devices, provided you have a developer account and are enrolled in beta updates.
