Apple has released new third developer betas of watchOS 11.1, tvOS 18.1, and visionOS 2.1 for testing, but without betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, nor macOS Sequoia 15.1.

A new round of betas are available, but they are taking an unusual form. Tuesday's batch includes only the third builds of watchOS 11.1, tvOS 18.1, and visionOS 2.1.

So far, it seems that the sixth round of betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 are not available yet. However, given the number of beta cycles that have already passed for those versions, it may be Apple trying to catch up on beta rounds for its OSes without Apple Intelligence.

Apple may still offer new builds for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Sequoia later in the week.

Apple's tvOS 18.1 beta moves to 22J5557d, watchOS 11.1 is on build 22R5559b, and visionOS 2.1 gets to 22N5558e.

At this early stage, it is unclear what is new in the three just-released builds.

AppleInsider and Apple strongly advise that users do not install test operating systems or other beta or RC software onto "mission-critical" or primary hardware, due to the small chance of issues that could result in the loss of data. Testers should therefore use secondary or non-essential devices and make sure they have sufficient backups of any critical data.
