It won't be long until you can update your iOS devices or Mac computer to the upcoming iOS 10.3.3 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 bugfix and security updates that Apple is currently preparing for us these days.

Today, the Cupertino company released the sixth Beta builds of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS 10.12.6 Sierra to registered developers, leaving the Beta versions of watchOS 3.2.3 and tvOS 10.2.2 to the Beta 4 milestone that were published on June 22 and June 26 respectively.

Developers interested in installing the macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Beta 6 (16G24b) and iOS 10.3.3 Beta 6 (14G57 & 14G58) builds can download them right now from their Apple Developer account or by running the Sierra Developer Beta Access Utility on their Macs and the OTA updates system on their iOS devices.

Public Beta 6 of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS Sierra 10.2.6 coming soon

Unfortunately, Apple did not update the release notes of the iOS 10.3.3 Beta 6 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Beta 6 builds, but they don't need to because we're aware of the fact that these are small bugfix and security patches fixing some of the most annoying vulnerabilities and issues discovered since the last stable update.

While iOS 10.3.3 Beta 6 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Beta 6 are now available for registered developers to test their apps, public beta testers will also be able to install them on their devices in about 24 hours from the moment of publishing, and we recommend them to update if they are using the fifth Beta builds.

Now that the sixth Betas of iOS 10.3.3 and macOS 10.12.6 are out, we believe it's safe to say that it won't be long until these last point releases of the iOS 10 and macOS Sierra hit the stable channel for everyone else in this world to update their devices from iOS 10.3.2 and macOS 10.12.5.

The final versions should be out sometime this month, but Apple never publishes a release schedule of their upcoming operating systems. The iOS 10.3.3 and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 releases will be accompanied by watchOS 3.2.3 for Apple Watch devices and tvOS 10.2.2 for Apple TV devices.
