A few moments ago, Apple released the sixth Beta versions of its upcoming iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 operating systems to registered developers enrolled in the Apple Developer program.

Coming only a week after the Beta 5 release, today's Beta 6 builds of iOS 11 (15A5354b), macOS 10.13 High Sierra (17A344b), watchOS 4 (15R5357b), and tvOS 11 (15J5360b) operating systems are available for download from your Apple Developer account, along with Classroom 2.1 Beta 4 (2B51) and Swift Playgrounds 2 Beta 3 (2A137b).

With this new Beta version, Apple just broke its bi-weekly release pattern for new Beta builds of its upcoming iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 operating systems, which can only mean that the Cupertino company is ready to wrap things up and prepare for the final release early next month.

Unfortunately, Apple didn't release a new Beta version of its Xcode 9 IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which includes the SDKs (Software Development Kits) of the latest iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS Betas, nor new Betas of macOS Server 5.4 and Apple Configurator 2.5.

Public Beta 5 of iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, and tvOS 11 coming soon

In about 24 hours from the moment of writing this article, we expect Apple to release the fifth Public Beta builds of the iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 operating system to public beta testers, allowing the rest of the world to get an early taste of the next major iOS, macOS, and tvOS versions.

Later today, we shall also have an article ready with some of the big new changes Apple's engineers added in the new iOS 11 Beta 6 release, which will also be available on tomorrow's Public Beta 5. Until then, make sure you learn how to install iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 Public Betas on your supported devices.

Update: Apple is now seeding the Public Beta 5 of iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 operating systems to public beta testers.
