Leading the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of a new beta for iOS 10.2.1. Today, we’ll look at that and other Apple Rumors for Tuesday.
iOS 10.2.1 Beta: Apple has released a new beta of iOS 10.2.1 to developers, reports 9to5Mac. This release is for the second beta of iOS 10.2.1 that has been released to developers. The beta doesn’t appear to include any major changes from the last release. This update is expected to be much smaller than the iOS 10.2 update, which included several new features. The iOS 10.2.1 update will more likely include small bug fixes and changes to better optimize the mobile operating system.
macOS Sierra 10.12.3 Beta: AAPL has released the second beta for macOS Sierra 10.12.3, MacRumors notes. This new beta also doesn’t include any major changes over the previous version. The notes say that it “improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.” It is also possible that the update will include some bug fixes, but AAPL hasn’t specifically listed any. The new beta comes out just a week after the first macOS Sierra 10.12.3 beta came out.
AirPods Test: Apple’s AirPods appear to be able to handle just about any torture users put them through, reports BGR. This includes users that have dropped them from up to 10 feet in the air. The headphones also made it through a drop in water and a run in a washing machine. These test include both the protective case and just the AirPods. The wireless earbuds survived each test and worked just fine afterwards.
