Believe it or not, Apple has released today a bunch of new Beta builds for the upcoming maintenance updates of its iOS 10, macOS Sierra 10.12, and tvOS 10 operating systems, just one day after the release of iOS 10.2, macOS Sierra 10.12.2, watchOS 3.1.1, tvOS 10.1, and Xcode 8.2.

More precisely, the Cupertino company started seeding the first Beta development milestones for iOS 10.2.1, macOS Sierra 10.12.3, and tvOS 10.1.1 to developers enrolled in its Apple Developer program. These are tagged as build 16D12b for macOS 10.12.3 Beta, 14D10 for iOS 10.2.1 Beta, and 14U707 for tvOS 10.1.1 Beta.

They are available right now from your Apple developer account along with the first Beta release of the upcoming Safari 10.0.3 web browser, tagged as build 14U707. Unfortunately, the provided release notes do not contain any information about the changes implemented in this new Beta releases.

Public Beta versions should be available shortly for the rest of us, and if you already have the Public Beta profiles installed on your devices, you'll receive a notification in the next 24 hours or so. Newcomers can read our in-depth tutorials here and here if they want to jump on the iOS, macOS, or tvOS Public Beta bandwagon.

Except for maOS Sierra 10.12.3, the tvOS 10.1.1 and iOS 10.2.1 releases will be minor bugfix updates bound to improve the stability, security, and compatibility of your supported devices. As usual, please try to keep in mind that these early development builds are not recommended for installation if you want to have a stable experience.
