Apple is now rolling out the second release candidates for macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, without having released regular beta versions first

So far, Apple’s release notes for macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 mention only the usual “important security fixes,” without offering any additional details about the vulnerabilities being addressed.

As usual, Apple is expected to publish more information about those fixes once the updates are officially released, although those details sometimes take a few additional days to become available.

The release build for macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 RC 2 is 24H225, while the release build for macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 RC 2 is 25G325.
