Apple has unveiled a new software update for developers using macOS. The release of macOS Sequoia 15.3 beta 1 comes just five days following the public rollout of macOS 15.2.
New Beta Released Shortly After Public Launch
The release pattern for Apple’s software updates is fairly consistent.
Typically, Apple rolls out a new software version for all users, followed by a beta update for developers within a few days.
Usually, a public beta version will be released shortly after that.
However, today’s release of macOS 15.3 beta 1 marks a slight deviation from that usual timeline. After the launch of macOS 15.2 last Wednesday, it has taken almost a week for the beta version 15.3 to be made available. Currently, this beta is exclusive to developers, but a public beta is expected to be released soon.
At this point, details regarding new features or enhancements in macOS 15.3 remain unclear, but we will keep you updated as we uncover new information.
How to Install or Avoid macOS 15.3 Beta
If your Apple ID is associated with a developer account, you can download and start using the new macOS 15.3 software right away.
To install the beta, follow these steps:
- Launch the System Settings app
- Navigate to General ⇾ Software Update
- Check that Beta Updates indicate the macOS Developer Beta
- Click to download and install macOS 15.3
On a related note, if you’ve been using the macOS 15.2 beta, you might not be prepared to install a brand new build.
Since macOS 15.3 is only in its initial beta phase, you may encounter more bugs and performance issues now than you would in later versions.
If you’re not ready to deal with any new Mac-related issues, especially as the holidays approach, it might be wise to disable Beta Updates from the Software Update section.
