Apple has new public beta software available for testing now. Public beta 2 just debuted for macOS Sequoia 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, tvOS 18.5, and more. Public beta 2 for macOS 15.5 and more now available Last week, Apple’s first public betas for the next wave of software releases arrived. macOS 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, and more launched in public beta after the updates had already been available for developers for a couple of weeks. Those initial developer betas were fairly buggy in my experience, so it’s unsurprising Apple didn’t ship them to the public. Now, however, public beta 2 for Apple’s various platforms is here—just one day after new developer builds. Unfortunately, in our testing so far, no new features or noteworthy changes have been discovered. The two updates to Apple’s Mail app present in last week’s betas remain the only real feature updates of this current software wave. Bug fixes and under-the-hood tweaks seem to be the focus. Apple could always have surprises in store for closer to the public launch. That happens occasionally with new software versions that otherwise seem devoid of changes in the beta. Since so little seems to be changing in macOS 15.5, iPadOS 18.5, and the other updates, it’s very possible we’ll see a shorter than usual testing cycle. In that case, public launches could arrive in early to mid-May. If you want to install the new versions sooner, you can join Apple’s beta software program via its website.
