Apple has just released macOS 14.5, watchOS 10.5, tvOS 17.5, and visionOS 1.2 beta 4 to developers. Developers can now download and install the latest updates on their compatible devices right now for free. The latest beta builds will bring a handful of new tweaks and features to the table on all Apple devices.
Apple releases beta updates for the Apple Watch, Mac, Vision Pro, and More
Registered developers can download watchOS 10.5 beta 4 on their compatible Apple Watch models via the dedicated Apple Watch app. Simply head over to Settings > Software Update > Beta Updates and download the latest beta available. Make sure that your Apple Watch has at least 50 percent battery life and is plugged into a power source. Moreover, your Apple Watch should be in the range of your iPhone and connected to a secure internet connection to install the update.
In addition to watchOS 10.5, Apple has also released beta 4 of macOS 14.5 to developers. Developers can download the latest beta through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings. However, your Apple ID should be linked to your Developer account if you wish to receive the update over the air.
Apple TV users can install the latest tvOS 17.5 update on compatible Apple TV models through the Settings app. All you have to do is opt into the beta to receive the update over the air. However, similar to other updates, your Apple ID should be associated with your Developer account to receive the update over the air.
Lastly, Apple has released the fourth beta of visionOS 1.2 to developers for testing purposes. If you own the Vision Pro, the latest beta can be installed on your headset through the Settings app. Simply toggle on the developer beta option from Settings, and you are good to go. A developer account is required to receive the update over the air.
At this point, it is unclear what the latest beta brings to the table. However, we can presume that the update will house numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements to improve the overall user experience of the devices. Potentially, the latest beta will also bring additional changes to users in the EU. Apart from this, Apple has also released beta 4 of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 for compatible iPhone and iPad devices. We will keep you updated on when the updates are officially released to the general public.
