Prior to the public releases of iOS 14.6, iPadOS 14.6, tvOS 14.6, watchOS 7.5, and macOS Big Sur 11.4, Apple has seeded a new series of developer betas including iOS 14.7, iPadOS 14.7, tvOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6, and macOS Big Sur 11.5.

iOS and iPadOS 14.7 can be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper profile has been installed on an iPhone or iPad. macOS Big Sur 11.5 can be downloaded using the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences after installing the proper profile from the Apple Developer Center.

tvOS 14.7 can be downloaded onto the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ via a profile that's installed using Xcode, and watchOS 7.6 can be downloaded through the dedicated ‌Apple Watch‌ app on the iPhone by going to General > Software Update after installing the proper profile from the Apple Developer Center.

There's no word yet on what's new in these software updates, but we'll update this post if we find notable features or changes in the betas.

I wonder if this will include the “AirPlay for AirPods” that Jon said that Apple would be bringing in the future on the latest episode of front page tech.
that way you could actually stream Lossless to AirPods. It would make sense, especially since in all of the materials were they say it’s not compatible, they specifically note that lossless cannot be streamed over “Bluetooth.”
they specifically mention Bluetooth, which is strange to me. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see Prosser be correct

Being offered 14.6 right now... Clocks in at 5.25 GB.

I was actually expecting to see 14.7, so a bit odd.

Edited to add:

I tried to download, it went into the "update requested" mode for a couple of minutes then went into a "paused" state which I've never seen.

Subsequent attempts to even check for updates are erroring out.

Another edit/update:

Now it's offering me 14.5 (which I'm running already) at "Zero KB"

Clearly someone's not having a great day @apple.

A few peeps on here were predicting 14.5 to be the final update before iOS 15… glad it’s proven not to be the case.

Honestly, I think I'd prefer that Apple and others stop with the GIANT FLAGSHIP SOFTWARE RELEASES ONCE A YEAR NO MATTER WHAT and instead just iteratively roll things out in 0.X updates throughout the year.

My wife HATES the September iOS update because she feels like she has to learn everything all over again. "Why can't they just leave it alone instead of changing how I need to do things?"
