Apple just released the second developer beta of macOS 15.5. It’s a minor update packed with new features. Devs focused on bug fixes and performance enhancements to deliver a better user experience across the Apple Silicon Mac lineup. Here’s a quick overview of what’s changed and what’s improved in the new macOS 15.5 beta 2 release.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
The macOS 15.5 beta 2 fixes the general issues reported by Mac users and aims to improve overall functionality. The key fixes include:
- System reboot problems that previously occurred when using the Apple Pro Display Calibrator on 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M4 chips have now been resolved.
- Fixes unexpected app crashes where certain apps, such as Ecamm Live and Photoshop would randomly shut down without any error message or warning.
- The AppleCare & Warranty section in the Settings app now loads a little faster and the wasted space at the top has been removed. If there’s a device under warranty, you can easily see the details. In the previous beta version, this page would either load blank or get stuck indefinitely.
- Safari updated to a new version that brings minor bug fixes and improves the overall growing experience.
