macOS 11.7.6 and macOS 12.6.5 arrive as release candidates
Apple today offers the release candidate macOS 11.7.6 (build 20G1329) and macOS 12.6.5 (build 21G630) for download. It concerns for the moment the developers.
Apple has offered several betas over the past few weeks. Today there is macOS 11.7.6 and macOS 12.6.5 in release candidate. This is the final test version before general public availability. If all goes well, Apple will release exactly those builds (with the same build numbers) to the public. If there are any issues discovered at the last minute, Apple will provide revised versions.
What’s new with macOS 11.7.6 and macOS 12.6.5? There isn’t, at least there wasn’t during the betas. But that’s normal: Apple is now focusing on macOS Ventura 13. The manufacturer, however, maintains support for macOS Big Sur and Monterey to offer security patches. We will have to wait for the final version to know the list of security patches.
Apple isn’t giving a release date for the final version of macOS 11.7.6 and macOS 12.6.5, but availability is expected to come this week or possibly next week. Indeed, the time is always short between a release candidate and public availability, at least at Apple.
