“Starting today at 10am (Pacific), the third update to the Preview for Developers will start rolling out, and you should be able to get onto build 12397. This update enables some newly commercialized devices and tweaks a couple of new APIs, so you won’t see a difference on your device, but we encourage everyone who’s on the Preview for Developers to stay current on the latest build,” Microsoft stated in an official blog post.
So don’t expect to see any differences with this update, as it just simply enables devices and tweaks a few APIs. Microsoft is currently testing a brand new Lock screen app which will be released as a beta in the next couple of weeks for devices with 1GB or more of RAM.
