Public beta versions of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and MacOS Monterey

Apple has released the latest public beta of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey to users enrolled in the public beta testing programs for the upcoming operating systems.

Versioning lists them as iOS 15 public beta 3, iPadOS 15 public beta 3, and MacOS Monterey public beta 3, however they are technically the second public beta version available. Presumably the versioning is done this way to keep them in line with the equivalent builds for developer betas, which are also currently available as beta 3 of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, and beta 3 of MacOS Monterey.
