FULL STORY ======================================================================

Want to see whats coming in the big operating system updates heading to iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs later in the year? The iOS 15 public beta is now live, along with those for iPadOS 15 , watchOS 8 , and
tvOS 15 .

While developers have been able to preview the big OS updates since just
after the WWDC 2021 keynote in June, anyone who wanted in needed to be part
of (and pay for) the Developer Beta Program. But the public beta for each is truly free, and takes just a little work to get running on your device. At least for every OS except for the macOS Monterey public beta sorry, thats
not available yet.

Keep in mind a few things first, that the betas are just starting to roll out, so access might be limited in each region as they become available to users in more areas. But more importantly, while public betas are usually
more stable than developer or internal betas, its still somewhat risky to
load on your device.

Thus, we recommend creating a backup of your current device before upgrading in case the beta is wonky or bug-ridden. Also remember that the Apple Watch requires a paired iPhone to coordinate updates so if you want to upgrade to the watchOS 8 public beta, youll need to get your iPhone on the iOS 15 public beta first.

Finally, dont expect all the cool features that were revealed at WWDC just yet. Betas roll out in stages (Apple numbers them), slowly introducing features for early adopters to test. These reach developer betas first, with public betas on more stable builds receiving them later. But the latter will still get to play with new OS features before everyone else.
