First Public Betas Out for Next Round of Apple Operating Systems

12 JULY 2022 - If you live your life on the cutting beta edge, now is your time and today is your day. Actually yesterday, but still. MacRumors ran a few pieces on Monday announcing the first public bets of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16. Additionally, a piece from 9 to 5 Mac had Apple making the first public beta of HomePod Software 16 available. While the final release will run on the original HomePod, the public beta does not, according to the report.

Apple Re-Issues Select OS Builds for Developers

One other bit-o’ beta news - Apple has re-released a few developer betas to developers. A piece from Apple Insider says the Cupertino-company “has taken the unexpected step of re-releasing its third developer betas for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura.” Apple did not say why it did what it did, though Apple Insider hazards a guess, saying it was likely done “to properly synchronize the builds with their public beta counterparts.”
