Apple released iOS 10.1 Beta 2 as well as watchOS 3.1 and tvOS 10.0.1 Beta 2. The latter two are available for developers only, which means you can grab it over the air if you have a previous beta installed. In order to install fresh, then you need to head over to the Apple Developer Program website to grab the pre-release bits. Keep in mind that the Apple Developer Program membership will set you back $99 on an yearly basis. But in return you get access to software bits that aren't available to the public, such as watchOS 3.1 and tvOS 10.0.1.
