I am considering trying out the iO16 Public Beta on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and have a few questions.
I am deep in the Apple Ecosystem . I own three Apple TV's, an Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad mini 6, iMac and a set of Home Pod Mini's.
I only want to upgrade my iPhone. How will this effect all of my other devices? Do I have to upgrade everything? I understand that the software is in Beta at the moment and there will be issues. Just trying to avoid big ones.
Any help would be great!
 
There is no guarantee that you won't have some interrelated issues with one or more of your devices. As to them being "big ones" as you say, that is entirely based on how you use your devices and what you do with them. Best advice is to remember it is Beta and second, make an encrypted backup copy BEFORE you install the beta so that you can go back if something "big" happens. What is "big" to one is just a minor irritation to someone else.
