Apple is not exactly known for being open with its behind-the-scenes stuff.
It’s sort of like the Disneyland of the tech world. You know, to keep the
illusion of perfection, the sweaty characters are hidden behind closed doors
until showtime.
Traditionally, beta versions of Apple software updates have only been
available to developers. However, last year, the company successfully seeded
a public beta of OS X Yosemite. It appears the success of that venture has
led Apple to expand the public beta program. Today, the company launched a
public beta of iOS 8.3 so anyone with an iOS device and Apple ID can sign up
to test out the software right now.
Apple Public Beta Program Sign Up
Just a short time ago, Apple seeded the third beta of iOS 8.3 to developers
and right after that, launched a revamped version of the public beta website
that was previously designed for OS X Yosemite to include iOS.
To start, visit Apple’s Beta Software Program website and sign in using
your Apple ID. According to The Verge, once you’ve signed up and enrolled
your iOS device in the public beta program, you will be able to install a
package file that will give you access to the software. Then, you will be
able to install iOS 8.3 beta 3.
As you use the beta, you’ll be able to let Apple know directly when you
come across issues by using the built-in Feedback Assistance app.
iOS 8.3 beta 3 includes bug fixes, a new set of emoji icons, wireless
CarPlay, updates for Google login, and a few other minor tweaks.
Of course, it is important to back up your iOS device before downloading the
software and it would be much safer to use a secondary device instead of
your main one, just in case something important to you isn’t working
properly in the beta version. |
