Apple Launches New iOS Beta Testing Program, Seeds iOS 8.3 to Testers

[Corrode]

I was already part of the Yosemite beta program but I signed in and I get an OSX and iOS tab. It then asks me to click a button to enroll my device, restart, then check for updates in settings. Not sure why some are having issues.

That iOS tab is not appearing for a lot of us.

iOS beta testing program. If your $1000 phone is not special enough.

What is the version number? I am curious if its the same thing as the dev build 8.3 (12F5047f)?

Yep, it's 12F5047f.

Does apple let you down grade from beta to the current general public release for this or is the same previous developer's beta where you couldnt?

You can downgrade from this the same way you'd downgrade a developer beta.

 

[Sebosz]

Hahaha

 

[Goodeye]

Yes.

Yep. I assume with the Gold Master goes out for Devs it will soon release for the public Beta. The Gold Master is the same release that the normal public gets.

So for the peyote that have it. Does it just sore up in your software update, or do you need to do something through the web?

You sign in and then with the ios device you wish to enroll you have to visit a webpage on the apple site where you download a profile and install that. Then you reboot, check the software update in settings and you can download the beta OTA

Same here! Imagine the day Apple announced Siri. That's this day for me.

I'm going to be able to check out Siri in my language!

Edit: Ugh, signed up to the Beta Program, not seeing any iOS Beta either.
