Apple will today seed the second beta of an upcoming
iOS 12.2 update to developers for testing purposes, two weeks after
seeding the first beta of iOS 12.2 and a little over two weeks since the
release of iOS 12.1.3.
Registered developers can download the new iOS 12.2 beta from Apple's Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed from the Developer Center. The update will be available right around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time or 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

iOS 12.2
brings Apple News to Canada for the first time, with Canadian iPhone and
iPad users able to read news stories in English, French, or both.

The update introduces support for
AirPlay 2 and
HomeKit on third-party TVs, with a new option for limiting TV access joining the speaker access option in the Home app. There's also a redesigned TV remote in Control Center, and with
tvOS 12.2, you can ask
Siri to play specific content on your HomeKit devices like the
Apple TV.

The Wallet app's interface has been streamlined and tweaked, there's a new interface for
Apple Pay Cash, and the Downtime feature in Screen Time now allows you to customize by day. Apple has also made minor changes to some icons and introduced new Safari features, with a full list available in in our
iOS 12.2 tidbits post.

iOS 12.2 confirms that Apple is planning to release
second-generation AirPods with "Hey Siri" support, thanks to a hidden "Hey Siri" AirPods setup screen in the beta. The inclusion of the AirPods setup option in the beta indicates that Apple could perhaps be planning to release new AirPods when iOS 12.2 is released.
The update also features hints of an
upcoming Apple News subscription service, which could see a Texture-like magazine service added to
Apple News.
The iOS 12.2 is likely to see several rounds of beta testing before it launches to the public.
