AppleCare in general won't get access to iOS 10 of any kind until about a couple of weeks prior to release. The beta site was created to report and assist with issues. If you do a backup before installing the beta, AppleCare can help you erase and restore the prior iOS. And that it.
Got a tip for us?

All right im going to get IOS 10 public beta on my main phone. I expanded my icloud storage to 50gb and currently doing a backup on icloud rn, and i just finished another backup on itunes. So if something goes wrong or i do not like it, i can just restore from an itunes backup and then sign in icloud and EVERYTHING will be there. I got really important photos and i cant sync to icloud because it says it will delete 4k photos from my library.
That's what I did on my iPad Pro
I downgraded from iOS 9 beta but now I just use beta on my phone now
I noticed they changed the "Constellation" alarm music in iOS 10. It sounds different than it did in iOS 9 (I use Constellation to wake me up in the morning so I am very familiar with how it sounds.) I am fine with the change, but I thought it was interesting that they altered it in the way they did.
iCloud should still work, but if you back up your phone, either through iCloud or on iTunes, it will mark it as backed up from iOS 10, and iOS 9 will not take the backup if you downgrade.
Basic functionality and UI inside the Music app needs mega work. Tons of work. So much work it needs. If you're a heavy music user and like how all your stuff is organized etc., DON'T DO IT.
WARNING:
Consumers should never forget that Apple is a hardware company. Software resources within the company support ONLY THEIR NEW hardware as the highest priority, then maybe they fix other issues later. Support of older devices is WAY DOWN the priority list. Basically if you have an older device, DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER upgrading to a new iOS Major release until X.N, where N is the number of hardware "things" released off of the iOS code base at/after the major (X) release.
So for example in the case of iOS 9: X=9 (the major release), and 5 iOS related devices (6s, iPad Pro, TV, SE, 9.7" Pro) so X.N = 9.5
Maybe we can consider the 9.7" Pro minimum churn and N = 4 (and since it was released with the SE), but the poor quality of 9.0-3 so far still makes the entire major version 9 suspect. Regardless, don't upgrade older devices at least until the first non-hardware-release-tied update of 9.X.
Essentially:
iOS 9.0 should have been called iOS for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
iOS 9.1 should have been called iOS for iPad Pro.
....etc....
And, in the mix they shipped Apple TV, which is basically iOS and "churns" the iOS code base.
I've been an active iOS developer selling apps since iOS 2. iOS 9 takes the cake for "Worst iOS Quality Ever".
My everyday devices are still on 8.4.1, and I'll probably skip 9.x altogether.
Apple is starting to slide back to the ancient era mindset (30+ years ago) when an Operating System was created solely for a piece of hardware (even general purpose computers) - Think TRS 80.
You've been warned. Yes, Apple is the new Microsoft, for this and several other reasons.....

I had to re-enroll my device by installing the new profile, make sure the ios9 profile is deleted first
I installed the Beta when it came out earlier today. So far so good for me. I have not noticed any app crashes and as for normal everyday use it is doing fine today.
I will say some times apps are a little slow to open, but they eventually do and work.
Audio playback in the car through USB is also a little buggy.
But overall I seem to be having good luck with it.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Now, where did you develop this logic?

Which device are you running on?
Installed iOS 10 beta 1 on my iPad Air 2 a couple of hours ago. After testing all my essential apps, and General user experience, I concluded this is great. Now installing on my iPhone 6S, main device. A gamble I know. Still know nothing of how battery life is affected.
But when installing beta profile, I was asked if it was regarding iPhone or watch. I have read that watch os3 beta was difficult to install, but now that it is public, I suppose it is easier? Has anyone actually tried the watch os3 public beta and can share experiences yet?

I really like it so far. Notifications (pulldown screen) take some getting used to. I do like being able to delete the Apple preloaded apps. Everything else so far that I've tried I really like. I think my iPhone 6 is running better than it was....
[doublepost=1467929640][/doublepost]I totally agree! It's very snappy! My iPhone 6 is running better than with 9.3.2.

I'm a developer too, and I say what you just typed is all BS.
iOS 9.3+ is very stable. There is no reason to be on iOS 8 unless you are currently jailbroken, point blank and period. You are missing out on security fixes and performance improvements across the board, not to mention specific apps being only compatible with 9.0+.
Also, you cannot objectively assert iOS 9 is "worst quality ever" if you do not use it on your daily driver. Test devices do not count as they are meant to test apps and not the underlying OS.
Has anyone that has installed iOS 10 and has a watch still been able to use the watch properly on OS 2.2.1?
I keep getting an error when trying to do software update after installing the profile. Any ideas?
Wouldn't download on my iPad Pro 9.7" but did on my iPhone 6s Plus.
Love how the return/delete key keeps throwing my reply to the bottom of this mobile site ha!
Can you let us know what apps you develop so we know what to stay away from?
TIA
