Apple has released beta 2 to developers of its flagship operating systems for iOS 12, tvOS 12, macOS 10.14 and watchOS two weeks after its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) where it released the first beta’s to developers.

Dolby Atmos support now available within settings: Settings>Video and Audio>Surround Sound>Spatial Audio: Dolby Atmos On
Still no sign of the new Arial screensaver from the International Space Station or the ability for Siri to provide the location of the current Arial screensaver on show.
We’re not currently aware of any notable new features in MacOS 10.14 beta 2.
