Apple has released public beta 2 for several of its operating systems, including macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. The updates are available for testing and can be downloaded from Apple’s website.
Initial Impressions and Testing
During our initial testing, we found that the public beta 2 updates for these operating systems share many similarities with the initial developer beta versions. Unfortunately, we have not discovered any new features or noteworthy changes in these updates.
Features and Updates
- Mail app updates:
- • New features for sending and receiving emails:
- • Enhanced email filtering and sorting capabilities:
These are the only notable updates that we have found in the current software wave. Bug fixes and under-the-hood tweaks seem to be the focus of these updates.
Testing Cycle and Potential Public Launches
- • Shorter testing cycle:
- • Potential public launches in early to mid-May:
Since so little seems to be changing in these operating systems, it is possible that the testing cycle may be shorter than usual. If that is the case, public launches could arrive in early to mid-May.
