Apple has just released RC versions of its pre-release software to developers, including iOS 14.4, iPadOS 14.4, watchOS 7.3, and tvOS 14.4. This means that the aforementioned software is almost ready for prime-time release and we should see the full and final version of the software released to everyone around the world in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately, macOS 11.2 Big Sur is still in beta and we expect the RC version to be released soon rather than later.
If any of the previous beta versions are already installed on your devices, you can get Release Candidate updates now. Just follow the steps below and you will be in the know.
