After giving a preview of iOS 17, the company will introduce a beta version of the software, followed by the stable one around autumn, according to Livemint.
To download iOS beta version or wait for stable one?
As per Livemint, the iOS 17 beta version is in experimental stage and may, therefore, contain bugs and glitches. This, in turn, may lead to stability issues, certain apps not functioning properly, and the iPhone’s overall functionality getting affected.
Hence, people must wait for the stable version for a stable and optimised user experience. It will provide a smoother overall experience.
What is a ‘beta’ version?
Every year, from June to September, Apple collaborates with developers and public testers to refine an upcoming iOS version. The version released for developers and beta testers is called ‘beta’; this is done to identify and resolve problems with the software, if any, before a general release.
