iOS 17 was officially introduced recently. The new iOS version offers features like Live Voicemail, convert anything to sticker, and StandBy, which turns your iPhone into a mini smart display.
Of course, iOS 17 isn’t quite ready yet. Like many software makers, Apple is first launching a new software version in a private beta for developers and releasing a public beta for other testers the next month. This year, however, Apple has made the first version of the iOS 17 developer beta available to anyone who wants to try it out. But would it be a logical move to want to try this version?
Is the developer beta of iOS 17 open to the public?
In the past, when you wanted to install a beta version, you had to sign up for the Apple Developer Program for $99 per year. However, Apple removed this as of iOS 16.4, allowing developers to sign up for betas directly. This year, you can easily access the beta version by logging into the developer site with your Apple ID on your iPhone.
Installing the beta version comes with risks
Actually, this is the first phase of the beta cycle. So it’s a beta designed specifically for developers to test the new operating system with their apps. Based on these, we can say that there is no guarantee that this beta version will work smoothly. For this reason, we do not recommend installing it. You can also have a problem-free experience, but apart from minor mistakes; You may also encounter errors that render your iPhone unusable.
But if you want to install it, if you have a second device, you can test it on it. Otherwise, it would be wiser to wait for the public beta to be released next month. If you are going to install it on your main phone, be sure to back up your data to a safe place first.
How to install iOS 17 developer beta?
First of all, you need to have a compatible iPhone to install it. That means iPhone XS or a newer model. The iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus are now separated from the herd and will run with iOS 16 forever.
