How to download & install

Discover how you can grab the big update early by installing developer or

public betas on your iPhone,iPad, Mac and Apple Watch

R

ather than wait for the official rollout of

iOS 15 in autumn, there are a couple

of ways to get hold of the software

early. Beta versions are usually released

simultaneously with the update being

announced at WWDC, but to get hold of one

of these, you will need to be enrolled in the

Apple Developer Program (which costs £ 70 per

year). We will guide you through the process

of enrolling and obtaining the dev beta here,

but alternatively you can wait an extra month

and then install the newer, possibly more stable

public beta – check out ‘Knowledge base’ for

information on how to get that.
