Last week, Apple released a slew of stability and security focused updates with the outing of iOS and iPadOS 15.3, macOS 12.2, watchOS 8.4, and tvOS 15.3.

A separate piece from MacRumors says the company has also released the first betas for iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 to both developers and public testers. This time around, the macOS beta plus the iPadOS beta equals Universal Control.
