Apple has rolled out a second release candidate for tvOS 18.1, marking a swift update to its initial release candidate from just two days prior. This latest build, numbered 22J580, aims to address minor bugs and refine the Apple TV experience ahead of the expected debut of Apple Intelligence on October 28.
The second release candidate for tvOS 18.1 follows the recent updates across Apple’s ecosystem, including iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, all of which are now exiting beta testing. VisionOS 2.1 also received a second release candidate this week, reflecting Apple’s focus on stabilizing its platforms for a smooth user experience with its upcoming Apple Intelligence features.
As iOS 18.1 moves towards its official release, Apple is preparing for the next phase of development, with the first beta of iOS 18.2 introducing several anticipated Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground, Genmoji, and Visual Intelligence, available on the latest iPhone 16 models. These additions are expected to bring new AI-driven capabilities to Apple’s devices, enhancing creativity and personalization.
