Apple has quietly rolled out a second release candidate (RC) for visionOS 2.1, addressing a key issue with Apple Music just a day after the initial RC release. This update, which brings visionOS 2.1 to build 22N581, follows a quick succession of beta cycles as Apple moves toward the official launch of its latest operating systems.
Apple Music Bug Fix
The second RC primarily fixes a bug that prevented Apple Music from playing songs and videos. This small but important update ensures users will have a seamless music experience on their devices once visionOS 2.1 becomes publicly available. While the change is minor, it highlights Apple’s commitment to ensuring smooth functionality before the final rollout.
Steady Release Cycles
Apple has maintained a rapid pace of beta releases for visionOS 2.1, with beta 6 arriving shortly after beta 5. The quick development cycles suggest Apple is working hard to preempt potential issues on this emerging platform. Although beta users have not reported major concerns, Apple’s proactive approach indicates its desire to perfect visionOS before its official launch on October 28.
Focus on Minor Updates
The second visionOS 2.1 release candidate does not introduce significant new features. Instead, Apple is concentrating on stability and bug fixes, reflecting its efforts to fine-tune the operating system before it reaches consumers. This version of visionOS is also expected to pave the way for future enhancements, such as the integration of Apple Intelligence on Apple Vision Pro devices at a later stage.
As Apple prepares for the official launch of visionOS 2.1, the second release candidate underscores its focus on delivering a stable and polished experience. With important fixes, such as the Apple Music bug addressed, users can expect a smooth performance when visionOS 2.1 becomes available.
