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.

The latest beta builds match the developer beta builds released a few days ago, as typically Apple rolls out a dev beta first and soon follows with the same release a public beta.

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.
