Apple just released macOS Sierra to the public yesterday, but work on a fresh new update is already underway after Apple seeded macOS Sierra 10.12.1 to developers this morning.

Along with the new macOS Sierra beta, Apple has also released the first beta builds of iOS 10.1, tvOS 10.1 and watchOS 3.1, bringing a slew of bug fixes to every single platform as well as Portrait Mode for the iPhone 7 Plus dual-lens camera.

The new macOS Sierra beta can be downloaded via the Mac App Store. Developers can grab iOS 10.1 by logging into the Apple developer center on your iOS device and then install the Configuration Profile directly so you get OTA updates.

Configuration profiles for tvOS 10.1 and watchOS 3.1 can also be installed directly through the developer center.

Release notes for all four new beta builds don’t reveal any major new features. Apple does mention a number of known issues and bug fixes that are in the works. We’ll let you know what type of new stuff we find once we get the betas installed on our devices.
