Apple Launches Public Betas of iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan

I'm actually experiencing the exact opposite. The Beta 3 for iOS is really smooth, battery life has been great. And this was a huge leap for the watchOS Beta 3, my watch is usable again, battery life is good, and way less sluggish and more polish to the watchOS in general.

Is it possible to download the public beta ipsw and then install it via iTunes? My wifi OTA is going to take horrendously long, but via wired it will be faster.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't really like doing OTA updates.
 
I had iOS9 beta 3 on my iPhone 6, installed the public beta profile, but it's not showing any software updates.

I am running watchOS 1.0.1, and want to install watchOS 2 public beta.
I installed the profiles, but no software updates showing up.

Maybe because of my region? The Netherlands

Well that is not what other people are saying. Yes you are correct watchOS 2 beta needs iOS 9 but that does not mean watchOS 1 or 1.01 will not work on iOS 9. Do you have proof that it will not work.

Beta 3 and watch 1.01 work fine together.

No Watch OS 2.0 b3 is required for the watch to pair.

System Requirements

watchOS 2 beta supports iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, or 6 Plus running iOS 9 beta. iOS 9 beta software should be installed from the Apple Developer website using the latest released version of iTunes.

Correct, but you can use iOS 9 Beta 3 and leave your watch on watchOS 1.0.1 (you don't have to upgrade the watch).

Hey guys... look at the Calendar icon in the image of where it says to archive your iOS backups. October 16?? It's also on the OS X screenshots except that last one.

I also doing a clean iOS Beta install with each seed, not an OTA update to make sure my app dev/testing has the best chance of working with Xcode (which can be a mess sometimes). So that may be why I'm having better luck.

Except thats not true, you don't have to install on your watch. Watch works fine with iPhone Beta 3.

No thats not correct, a watch with 1.0.1 works fine on ios9.0, no need to install the Watch OS Beta

you are correct i rescind my original comment. i reread the dev notes for B3 and there's a very small blurb at the bottom of the page that makes a ref to WatchOS 1.

However this was not the case in B1 & B2.

I was able to run watchOS 1.0.1 against B1 and B2, so not sure what was different with my setup/config.
 
I've got an odd one. I loaded the beta profile and now when I go to the software update it says that 8.3 is up to date???

I don't think its possible to download the public beta as a clean install. Only upgrade is possible I think.
 
Preview much improved, but sadly still not to where it was pre-Yosemite.

There are also easy-to-spot (e.g., obvious) rendering errors.

If you depend on PDF in any way, be forewarned.
 
iOS 9 First impression: slow, laggy; applications fail to scale to screen properly upon launch. I'll wait to see if this is just an indexing issue since I just installed it.

First time I tried to install El Cap, I got an error halfway through. I tried re-downloading the installer from Purchases, but the download never starts. Any suggestions?
 
Actually I would like to try the beta software. My question is - once officially released I want to get off the beta cycle and start using the official released versions. Is this easily possible. And by easily I mean without re-installing everything?
 
i keep getting this error when trying to install El Cap:

"OS X could not be installed on your computer. A mismatch between MBR and GPT partition maps is not supported with this operation. Quite the installer to restart your computer and try again."

I've already tried restarting 5 times and I still keep getting this error. Anyone in the same boat?
