Apple releases macOS Sequoia 15.6 beta 2 alongside second betas for watchOS 11.6, tvOS 18.6, and visionOS 2.6. Here’s what’s new and what to expect in these latest updates.
macOS 15.6 Beta 2 Arrives as Apple Polishes Sequoia Ahead of Fall
Apple is back with its second developer beta for macOS Sequoia 15.6, now rolling out alongside watchOS 11.6, tvOS 18.6, and visionOS 2.6. While the updates may not pack flashy new features just yet, they’re key in keeping Apple’s platforms sharp and stable ahead of the major macOS 26 and watchOS 26 releases coming later this year.
macOS Sequoia 15.6 Beta 2: Small Build, Big Importance
The new macOS 15.6 Sequoia beta 2 carries build number 24G5065c, replacing the previous 24G5054d. It’s a typical mid-cycle update that likely focuses on:
- Performance refinements
- Security enhancements
- Behind-the-scenes compatibility fixes
While macOS Sequoia 15.6 may not introduce groundbreaking new features, it’s designed to keep your Mac running smoothly, especially as developers test macOS 26 in parallel for a fall debut. If you’re a beta tester, now’s the time to make sure your setup is ready for what’s next.
watchOS 11.6 Beta 2, tvOS 18.6 Beta 2, visionOS 2.6 Beta 2
watchOS 11.6 beta 2 has arrived with build 22U5065c, continuing Apple’s steady pace of improvements for the Apple Watch. Like Sequoia, this update is focused on polishing performance, fixing bugs, and ensuring security stays rock solid. Even though watchOS 26 is where the major upgrades will land, watchOS 11.6 remains a crucial stop on the roadmap.
Apple also released tvOS 18.6 beta 2 (build 22M5065b), continuing the refinement of Apple TV’s user experience. No major features are expected here either, but stability and streaming optimizations are always part of the package.
visionOS 2.6 beta 2 (build 22O5764b) is the latest for Apple Vision Pro developers. While the spotlight is on visionOS 26 and the future of spatial computing, this update aims to polish the current experience with stability tweaks and improvements to existing frameworks.
