In addition to iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6, Apple has released watchOS 9.6 developer beta 3 for Apple Watch models that are compatible with the update. To install the latest watchOS update, follow these steps. Open the dedicated Apple Watch on your iPhone and go to the General section. From there, select Software Update. However, it is essential to meet certain requirements before proceeding. Ensure that your Apple Watch has a minimum battery level of 50 percent and is placed on a charger during the update process. Additionally, make sure that your Apple Watch remains within the range of your iPhone.

Apple has made beta 3 of macOS Ventura 13.5 available for developers. To access this update, developers need to download the appropriate configuration profile from the Apple Developer Center. Once the profile is installed, the beta update can be obtained over the air on Mac devices through the Software Update feature in System Preferences.

In addition to iOS 16.6, Apple has also released beta 3 of its upcoming tvOS 16.6 update. This beta update is accessible to developers after installing a profile through Xcode. The latest beta includes the same changes as beta 2 but addresses certain issues that were previously unresolved.
