A little over a month has passed since the introduction of iOS 17 during Apple’s keynote, in which much of the focus fell on the Apple Vision Pro. It was, as we told you back then, an event full of interesting news, in which the progress of future versions of all Apple operating systems slowed down somewhat. a secondary tone compared to all the new devices that Cupertino has reserved for the event.

However, and although the devices are undoubtedly of more informative interest, the truth is that the range of software updates and especially operating systems, is much widerso after the dazzling effect of new computers, browsers and more, users of the brand’s devices are starting to wonder if they will be able to update their devices and, of course, what they will get if they do.

First question he received an immediate reply as we told you at the time, and as for the two, we already had the first progress in the aforementioned presentation, although undoubtedly time and the iOS 17 update will reveal more news to us. This has already started to happen with beta versions aimed at developers, which, as we told you a few weeks ago, have already revealed some additional features of the operating system.

So users have two options (which are actually complementary) to find out what’s new: stay tuned to the media that reports on them, like us at MuyComputer, or take the beta test themselves. And those who dare to take this second option have been lucky ever since Apple has already released the first public beta version of iOS 17which can be downloaded and installed on their iPhones by all users who want it.

Apple distinguishes between two types of beta releases, those aimed exclusively at developers who need them to adapt their apps to the new version, and the public ones, which are generally much more polished and which are intended for all users who want to get ahead of the rest of the world by testing new functions. Currently, it is not difficult for a private user to test the developer beta, but this is something that Apple will change soon.

However, we must never forget that we are talking about a beta version, that is it is neither as reliable nor as stable as the final version. What i mean? It is not recommended to use it on a device, in this case an iPhone, on which you depend on one or more aspects to function properly. Now, if you have a phone that you can tinker with without worrying about possible failures, and you’re wondering how to start testing iOS 17 right now, here’s a preview for you.
