Apple is wrapping up the visionOS 26.3 beta cycle. The release candidate is now out for testers, which usually signals Apple is close to shipping the public update.
This visionOS 26.3 RC carries build number 23N619. If no major issues show up, this is typically the same build that becomes the final public release, or it lands with only a small follow-up revision.

Changes in visionOS 26.3 RC
Apple positions release candidates as near-final builds, so this update is mainly about tightening performance and reducing bugs rather than introducing big headline features.
Expect the usual end-of-cycle cleanup: smaller fixes that improve reliability in day-to-day use, plus patches based on feedback from the earlier 26.3 betas.
RC builds are where developers do last-mile testing to confirm their apps behave correctly before the public release reaches everyone.
