Apple releases iOS 6 beta 2 to developers

Two weeks after making iOS 6 beta 1 available to developers, Apple has released iOS 6 beta 2 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. The two week pattern is nothing new for Apple, with previous iOS x.0 releases sticking fairly close to it for the most part.

iOS 6 beta 2 is available as an over-the-air (OTA) update for those running iOS 6 beta 1, or as a download and iTunes/Xcode install from Apple's developer site for those who require or simply prefer a hardline.

No word yet on what, if anything, has changed between iOS 6 beta 1 and iOS 6 beta 2, and since pre-prelase Apple software is subject to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) we won't be hearing anything official from Apple.

If you're a registered iOS developer, hit up Settings, General, Software update, or log in to the developer portal, and get your update on.
