Immediately after announcing its upcoming September 7 event, where the Cupertino company should unveil the next iPhone and Apple Watch devices, Apple seeded the eighth and probably the last Beta of the soon-to-be-released macOS 10.12 Sierra operating systems for Macs.

If you are a registered developer with an active and paid Apple Developer account, you should now be able to upgrade your computer to the macOS 10.12 Sierra Beta 8 update. In case you didn't know, it contains even more bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements since the Beta 7 build, which will further enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.

But wait, if you are a public beta tester, Apple has also released the Public Beta 7 update for everyone else who is not a developer building apps for Macs, so you can also update your computers to the macOS 10.12 Sierra Public Beta 7 build right now via the Mac App Store. As usual, the new Beta of macOS Sierra comes hot on the heels of the eighth Beta/Public Beta 7 of iOS 10.

macOS 10.12 Sierra launches in September 2016

Presuming that everything is in place, and Apple is now wrapping up the final details before the launch of the macOS 10.12 Sierra, iOS 10, tvOS 10, and watchOS 3 operating systems, we have all the reasons to believe that the Cupertino company will let the world upgrade their devices to this new OS versions after the September 7 event.

Worst-case scenario, Apple will let us breathe new life into our old devices at the end of September, but that's highly improbable, as they've always pushed the final builds of their upcoming OSes shortly after the respective event was over, even if they didn't say anything about it. So see you, guys, on September 7 for the macOS Sierra install party!
