Third public betas of macOS Big Sur 11.3, iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5 now available [u]
Apple has made the third public betas of macOS Big Sur 11.3, iOS 14.5, and iPadOS 14.5 available for download.
macOS Big Sur 11.3 public beta 3 now available
Those who wish to participate can download the latest betas and configuration profiles from the Apple Beta Software Program. Subsequent changes for existing participants are available as over-the-air updates on enrolled devices.
The third developer betas of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 contained a new tab in the Find My app for "items." This tab will be used for third-party tracking devices that use Apple's system and eventually will be populated by "AirTags."
Code strings discovered in the third developer beta of macOS 11.3 suggest that Rosetta 2 may be removed in some regions. It is not clear if this is a requirement by law or other issue.
AppleInsider, and Apple itself, strongly advise users don't install betas on highly-important or primary devices, due to the potential for data loss or other issues. Instead, it is recommended to install betas onto secondary or non-essential devices and to ensure there are sufficient backups of important data beforehand.

Update: Apple has also released a third version of the tvOS 14.5 beta to public testers.
