Apple seeded two new incremental updates for developers today, one for the current version of OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5, and another for iOS 8.4.1, the current version of iOS available for consumers on iPhone and iPad.

“The OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 update improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac,” writes Apple in its release notes. Further details on iOS 8.4.1 are as yet unavailable.

The new iOS beta comes rapidly after the iOS 8.4 release, which added Apple Music and Beats 1 to our iPhones. It’s most likely that iOS 8.4.1 will contain bug fixes, tweaks, and other performance enhancements as usual.

The last beta for OS X Yosemite came out last May and made improvements to Photos, Migration and the Arabic and Hebrew languages.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 beta is build 14F6a, while iOS 8.4.1 beta is build 12H304. Both are available with an Apple developer account.
