Apple has rolled out its first public betas of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 which can be downloaded by all the public beta testers, and the non-developers. To try the new software that will operate on all iPhone models in 2015 or later one needs to download Apple's beta testing program first. The new iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 includes FaceTime improvements, artificial intelligence (AI) for photo recognition, and new features to limit notifications. Although Apple warns on the website, “The iOS 15 public beta is still in development, which means some applications and services may not work as expected and their data may not be backward compatible. Be sure to back up your iOS device with iTunes before installing the software.” 

In an announcement made at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote earlier in June, Apple said that its public beta test version of the software will be launched this fall, alongside new iPhone models. One does not require the developer’s account and can be tried by the public ahead of the official release of the final version of iOS 15.

  • Consider Apple’s warning that betas might contain bugs and errors that need fixes that could lead to performance issues 
  • It could as well have compatibility issues with third-party applications, which means some apps might not work at all
