Apple has released the second round of Release Candidates (RCs) for their macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.8.1 updates. The development of these updates began last week when the first RCs were rolled out, alongside the release of macOS 27.2 beta 1. While the latter introduced new language support for Siri AI, the Tahoe and Sequoia updates focused primarily on security enhancements, with Apple stating they are "recommended for all users."
The second RCs for both macOS versions have been given build numbers: 25G313 for macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 and 24H212 for macOS Sequoia 15.8.1. Despite the lack of new features or significant updates, these RCs serve the critical purpose of ensuring the security and stability of the upcoming official releases. Apple will likely provide more detailed security information once the updates are officially launched in the coming weeks.
