Developers are eagerly waiting for the launch of iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS 14 developer Beta download. The process of downloading the beta profile will be the same as the previous versions.
iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 would bring a good set of improvements in terms of performance and features compared to the current iOS 16.
What are iOS, iPadOS and macOS beta Profile?
As the name suggest, these are profiles that you can download from Apple website to try out the latest version of iOS, iPadOS and macOS before it goes to public.
One thing to note here is that, Apple releases beta version of their operating system to test and fix bugs that developers and testers would face. If you are downloading it to your primary device, you could face many issues in different functionality as it’s not a final product.
Types of beta profile for iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS 14
Basically, there are two types of beta profile that are released by Apple before the final launch of the OS versions. The first version of beta profile that is launched is the developer beta.
What is Developer beta?
Developer beta is specifically for Apple developers and this is not recommended to be used by Public. It may contain many bugs and issues. If you download it in your main device, there could be serious issues which if you need to fix may need a hard reset.
It is not expected to be installed until you are testing some features in the latest iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 versions. During the developer beta period, the OS and its features will be under development.
What is Public beta?
Public beta is for people who want to try out the latest iOS or iPadOS or macOS versions from Apple. It would have most of the issues fixed. You can install and try this version of OS easily.
We still don’t recommend installing a public beta version in your main device.
