The Release Candidate version of macOS Big Sur 11.2 is now available to developers. This comes after Apple issued the iOS 14.4 and watchOS 7.3 RC versions earlier today. Head below for the full release notes for macOS Big Sur 11.2.
As a reminder, Apple has moved away from the previously-used golden master naming for near-final beta releases. Instead, going forward, the company will use the term “Release Candidate,” or RC, to reference a near-final beta release.
Developers can update to macOS Big Sur 11.2 RC by heading to the System Preferences application, then looking for the Software Update option. If you don’t immediately see the update available for download, keep checking as it is still rolling out and could take a few minutes to hit your device. The update features the build number 20D53.
