Apple drops new betas for OS X 10.11.6, iOS 9.3.3, and tvOS 9.2.2
Apple on Monday released previews of the next iterations of OS X, iOS, and tvOS, handing out beta versions of its popular desktop, mobile, and set-top box operating systems to registered developers.
OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 beta 1 carries build number 15G7a. iOS 9.3.3 beta 1 is identified as build 13G12, and tvOS 9.2.2 beta 1 shows build number 13Y807.
Released just weeks after the previous round of updates, this may well be the last set of revisions to see the light of day before we learn more about OS X 10.12 and iOS 10 at the company's upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference.
As has become Apple's modus operandi, there is no word on what changes or improvements may be in store. If anything of import surfaces once the community has had a chance to dissect this new software, AppleInsider will be on top of it.
All three betas are available to registered developers via the Apple Developer Center. OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 beta 1 can also be downloaded from the Mac App Store, while iOS 9.3.3 beta 1 and tvOS 9.2.2 beta 1 can be acquired from their respective software update mechanisms if the requisite beta certificates have been installed.

The wannabe hiphopster usage of the word "drop" to mean "release" is bad enough among media hacks, but here it really doesn't work.
At first read, the headline seems to say that Apple canceled the beta releases. In other words, this ain't the music business you're writing about.
And the rhe adoption of this new cliché among nonhipsters is depressing to see. Apple Insider Staff, you are better than this. Besides, the origin is scatological, whether you know it or not.
That would be the question to answer.
After trying everything, I had to restore a 10.11.4 version - and now I will wait for either 10.11.6 or directly 10.12 or whatever they will call it (macOS 1.0?).
Because it was quite a horrible feeling seeing my 8-core 32GB RAM iMac from last year, "working" worse than a 386 PC from yesteryear....
Why is software development from Apple and its quality so bad. I never see really an improvement in OS X software since a few years. Before it was getting leaner and faster at each release. I never had to restore a previous version in 15 years of Macs use.....
The 9.7 iPad Pro doesn't appear to be in this beta release - the profile doesn't indicate a beta is available, nor is there a stand-alone installer (as of last night anyway)
