I'm SO excited for WWDC. Always love seeing the new software and now this year we should see some hardware too. Last year I downloaded iOS 10 right after the keynote. I'm not sure if I'll do it again with iOS 11. I have a 7 Plus now, my main iPhone (not a work phone though), not sure if I'm going to go for it or not; I installed the iOS 9 public betas and last year the iOS 10 betas from the start and never had any major issues.
Just wondering if anyone will be installing it right away, and if so will it be on a main device?

Last year there wasn't anything extremely bad in the first beta. All the usual minor annoyances but nothing horrible. Hoping iOS 11 ends up being the same.
Will you all be doing it on your daily iPhone or a secondary one (or iPad)?

Haha same. I can't afford to have a second iPhone just for playing around with betas. Plus it's not the same when it's not your daily device, you don't get to fully experience the new features. And it's just really fun :)

Hoping here too but with all the rumors going around, it seems like iOS might receive a decent overhaul with a lot of changes.

I only started running betas beginning with iOS 8 on my old 4S. Then upgraded to an SE. I hope they don't skimp the SE on features. It's only a year old :/

I never got to experience iOS 6 :/ but I wonder if it'll be a big overhaul like iOS 6 to iOS 7

I'll probably wait one day (relying on public profile anyway) to see if there are any major breaking bugs before I install.

But you know... I'll probably actually install it instantly anyway.

Public beta won't come for a couple betas

I do the same thing! I tell myself I should wait but I always do it right away. If I can get a beta, I do it haha. Looking forward to tomorrow!!!
 
Will the current beta profile work with iOS 11? People said the iOS 9 beta profile allowed them to get iOS 10 until it expired

Each major release needs a new profile. So you will need a new one to install.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Hope people share some profile for iOS 11 very quickly

You're ********ting us, iOS 9 didn't need a new beta profile for IOS 10, my profile expires in 2019...

Really? I do remember my profile in iOS 9 era was not valid to install iOS 10 until found one somewhere. Expiry date is another story.
 
Count me in for needing the profile if it doesn't work for iOS 11. Hopefully someone will host them like they did for iOS 10. Oooooooooof!
