Following the release of macOS Big Sur 11.2 RC 2 earlier this week, Apple is today releasing the third RC build of macOS Big Sur 11.2 to developers and public beta users. This update comes with fixes for M1 Macs, plus Bluetooth improvements, and more.
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.
The first Release Candidate of macOS Big Sur 11.2 was released on January 21, while the second build RC was released a few days later on January 25. It’s unknown why Apple has released three different Release Candidates of this update since iOS 14.4 is already available to the public.
The update features the build number 20D64, compared to the 20D62 build number of last week’s RC. The first macOS Big Sur 11.2 RC build was 20D53.
