Apple has released the first iOS 10.2 beta for iPhone and iPad to registered developers. The update follows the public release of iOS 10.1.1 earlier today for all users. We’ll update with details about what’s included shortly. Apple has also released several other betas for developers to test including watchOS 3.1.1, tvOS 10.1, and macOS 10.12.2.
The update is available over-the-air for developers already using the developer certificate. Otherwise checkout the Dev Center to access the update.
Today’s new betas follow a rather busy release cycle:
