Revised beta builds of iOS 11 beta 2 and tvOS 11 beta 2 have been seeded to developers by Apple this morning, just five days after the previous versions of the betas were made available.

Along with the new updated betas for iOS 11 and tvOS 11, Apple also dropped a new Apple Watch beta in the form of watchOS 3.2.3 beta 4.

Registered developers can grab both updated beta builds from the Apple Developer Center. They can also be downloaded directly to devices as over-the-air updates.

Apple’s release notes for the beta builds don’t reveal any new information or features. The updated betas are only available for a select number of iPhone and iPad models. The quick surprise release may have been made to fix a critical bug or security hole.

Public testers should be able to get iOS 11 soon. Apple says it plans to release the first public beta build this month, giving fans an opportunity to test out all the new features like the improved Control Center, new lock screen, smarter Siri and more.
