Apple today seeded the release candidate version of an upcoming tvOS 16.4 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming a week after the launch of the fourth tvOS 16.4 beta.
Registered developers are able to download the tvOS 16.4 update by downloading a profile on the Apple TV using Xcode.
tvOS updates are typically minor in scale, focusing on internal bug fixes and improvements rather than notable outward-facing changes. There is no word as of yet what’s included in the tvOS 16.4 update, but we’ll update this article if we find anything new.
Apple shares some information on tvOS releases in its tvOS support document, which is updated after each tvOS launch, but it doesn’t provide beta release notes.
Though we don’t often know what’s new in tvOS during the beta testing process, we let MacRumors readers know when new updates are available so those who are developers can download it at release.
