Apple Releases Third OS X El Capitan Public Beta

Apple today seeded the third beta of OS X El Capitan to public beta testers, one week after seeding the second beta and just under three weeks after first providing the OS X El Capitan beta to the public for testing purposes.

The third public beta follows the launch of the fifth OS X El Capitan developer beta, which was seeded to developers late on Monday afternoon. No outward-facing changes were introduced with the beta, suggesting it's an under-the-hood update with bug fixes and performance improvements.

Beta testers who have signed up for Apple’s beta testing program and already have the public beta installed can update through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store for OS X.


OS X 10.11 El Capitan is expected to be released to the public in the fall after the beta testing process is complete.

You like buggy software?
Are you implying Win10 isn't buggy? Keep dreaming.

I hope they release the third public beta of iOS as well. The second one is terrible.

Cause this is a public beta... The keyword being Public, and not developer.
No, the keyword is still 'beta'. The fact that it's available to the public doesn't alter that.
