Apple on Tuesday seeded the Release Candidates (RCs) of its upcoming iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 updates to developers for final testing. The Release Candidates come a week after the fourth beta releases.
The RCs of iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 are available to developers who opt into the betas by going to “Settings” -> “Software Update,” then tapping on the “Beta Updates” option and turning on the iOS 17 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.
All of the features Apple had promised for iOS 17 have already been implemented.
Apple’s release notes suggest that the update provides unspecified bug fixes and security updates.
This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver iPhone or iPad. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
