The watchOS update carries build number 24S5284h, while visionOS is build 24N5286r. Both tvOS and HomePod Software carry build number 24K5286g.

The updates join the first developer betas of iOS 27.3 and iPadOS 27.3 and macOS 27.3 Golden Gate, also released today. We'll report back with any notable features or changes we discover in the new builds.

The watchOS beta can be installed through the Watch app on a paired iPhone, under General > Software Update, with Developer Beta selected under Beta Updates. The tvOS beta is available through Settings > System > Software Updates on Apple TV.

On Apple Vision Pro, open Settings > General > Software Update and select the developer beta under Beta Updates. HomePod beta updates are managed through Software Update in Home Settings within the Home app.

Developers can also access the new software through the Apple Developer Center.
