How to Install the iOS 13 Developer Beta on iPhone

Apple has announced the new iOS 13 at its WWDC 2019, and it comes with a wide range of new features, including a system-wide dark mode for the first time on Apple devices. Even though the company has announced the new operating system, the version now available is the beta version for developers. The official release of the iOS 13 for the broad public won’t happen until fall.

However, you can get your hands on the beta version now as well. Note that this beta version is full of bugs and issues which are being identified, tested and fixed for the beta variant for the public which will be released sometime in July thus this first beta version is aimed for developers only.

Before installing the beta version for developers, however, you must achieve a backup of your iPhone, as beta programs are, by nature, insecure.

Compatible Devices

The iOS 13 for iPad, however, is a different operating system now, called iPadOS. Supported devices for iPadOS are all iPad Pro models, iPad mini, 4th and 5th generation, iPad Air 2nd and 3rd generation, and iPad 5th and 6th generation.

The iOS 13 will support the following iPhone versions:

iPhone 6s

iPhone 6s Plus

iPhone SE

iPhone 7

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone X

iPhone Xs

iPhone Xs Max

iPhone XR

Archive an iOS Backup

As we mentioned before, it is necessary that you perform a backup of your iPhone data because if something goes wrong, not only you will jump back to the older iOS, but you will also lose all your data.

You can back up your data on whether iCloud or iTunes. We, however, recommend you to use iTunes in macOS Mojave or Finder in macOS Catalina.

In Mojave, after backing up with iTunes, select ‘iTunes’ from the menu bar, then go to ‘Preferences,’ then the ‘Devices’ tab. Find your backup and click right on it. Then, select ‘Archive.’

In Catalina, open Finder and select your iPhone from the sidebar. Next, click on the ‘Manage Backup’ key. Then, right-click your last backup and press ‘ Archive.’ Ensure you use the encrypted backup option when you archive the Health and Activity data.

How to Install the iOS 13 Developer Beta to Mojave version

To get the iOS 13 on your iPhone, you will have to ​install the IPSW restore file. Either install Xcode 11 beta on the most recent version of macOS 10.14 Mojave or use macOs 10.15 Catalina beta.

Here are the instructions for the Mojave version.

  1. If you didn’t register your iPhone UDID with your developer account, do it now
  2. Go to developer.apple.com/download​ and sign into your account
  3. Choose ‘View all’ under the iOS 13 section
  4. Download the IPSW file for your iPhone model
  5. Still, in the ‘Downloads’ page, select the ‘Applications’ key and download ‘Xcode 11 beta.’
  6. Unpack the Xcode XIP file. It might take some time. The Xcode file will install then
  7. Launch the Xcode 11 beta app and follow the instructions on display to install any extra tools needed
  8. Ensure you have the most recent iTunes version on your PC. On macOS, you can check this in the ‘Update’ tab in the Mac App Store.
  9. Connect your iPhone to the PC
  10. If the ‘Unlock iPhone to Use Accessories’ notification appears on your phone, use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to unlock it
  11. If the notification ‘Trust this Computer’ appears, tap on it, and follow the instructions showed on the screen
  12. Launch iTunes
  13. If you are not logged in, sign in to your Apple account in iTunes
  14. Select the iPhone in iTunes and ensure you are in the ‘Summary’ tab
  15. Back up and archive it, if you didn’t do it until now
  16. Press the ‘Option’ key on Mac, then click on ‘Update’ in iTunes to start the process. If you encounter issues with this method, try entering DFU mode on your phone, then press the ‘Option’ key and click on ‘Restore’ when it appears in iTunes
  17. Choose the IPSW to restore image from the selection windows in iTunes. Next, tap on ‘Open’ to initiate the installation
  18. As soon as iTunes completes the installation, your iPhone will restart
  19. Follow the instructions on your phone to activate the iOS 13

However, note that all iOS devices you want to install the iOS 13 developer beta have to be registered by adding their UDID to the developer website.

How to Install the iOS 13 Developer Beta to Catalina version

In the macOS 10.15 Catalina, there is no iTunes anymore, and all the work is done with the Finder app because the iOS devices install similar to external hard drives.

  1. Register your iPhone’s UDID with your developer account, if you haven’t done it
  2. Go to developer.apple.com/download​ and sign in into your developer account
  3. Under the iOS 13 section, select ‘View all’
  4. Download the IPSW file for your iPhone model
  5. Connect your phone to the computer
  6. If the notification ‘Unlock iPhone to Use Accessories​’ appears on your iPhone, unlock it by using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode
  7. Click on ‘Trust this Computer’ if it appears on your phone, and follow the instructions displayed on the screen
  8. Launch Finder
  9. Select the name of your iPhone in the sidebar under ‘Locations’
  10. Back up and archive your last iOS 12 version, if you didn’t do it until now. The process is the same as in iTunes, but you have to click on ‘Manage Backups’ button rather than going to any preferences menu. Then, right-click the last backup and select ‘Archive’
  11. Press the ‘Option’ key, then click on ‘Check for Update’ in the Finder app to start the process
  12. Choose the IPSW restore image you earlier downloaded, from the selection windows in iTunes, and select ‘Open’
  13. Click on ‘Update’ when it appears a notification to allow your Mac contact Apple to verify and install iOS 13
  14. You will have to type the passcode on your iPhone during the install
  15. As soon as Finder completes the install of the image, your phone will restart
  16. Now, follow the instructions on your phone to activate the iOS 13.

You’re now running the iOS 13 on your device.

Geco.one, the nexus between experience and liquidity

The Geco One platform generates synergies between the active parts of the market

A new trading platform for cryptographic assets will be launched in the coming weeks. Geco.one is aiming to be one of the complete platforms for digital trading. The competition is stiff, a technological sector that increases the benchmark continuously presenting advances every short space of time. Therefore, the trading platform presented by Geco One requires a special touch and first-rate features. A next-generation options menu will make it possible to trade inside PAMM services, futures trading, leverage, and both long and short positions from a single platform; offering control, simplicity, and diversity to the user.

In more detail, we can see that it has two types of user; Traders and Investors (traders and investors) will form part of an ecosystem of synergies that make it easier for untrained users to trade through the experience of professionals. This is a bridge between the experience of trading in markets, and liquidity waiting for sound investment advice or signal.

The platform allows you to invest safely in the cryptocurrencies and token market using the skills and knowledge of experienced traders. The innovative flagship service called PAMM trading account allows investing in pairs of cryptocurrencies or tokens by handing their resources to veteran traders and provides all the functions of the necessary tools to become a crypto trader yourself.

How does the user-side Geco.one PAMM process work?

The platform offers dual option registration. Therefore, when users register, there are two types of users:

Trader user, the 1st pillar to provide PAMM nexus. Trader account users are those who operate transparently and from whom monitored statistics are collected that reveal their success in trades and other statistics.

Investor user presents the other pillar of the users base. These are users who wish to invest in cryptocurrencies or tokens and lack the experience or time needed to study the markets and decide on trades. Users with investor account will be able to access Traders’ statistics and trade. This feature of the platform has been called PAMM.

This leads users to use Geco.one tool to analyze the failure and success history of any trader in a chosen period and a specific period. So investors keep total monitoring of the options to select and their statistics.

In short, users can choose the account of the most successful trader or with a tendency to invest in products they like; and promotes the option to fund their liquidity (the investing user) along with the trader’s trades. Also, you can always stop your investment, any time you have the will to liquidate the position.

Integration of stop-loss in the platform offering flexibility in operations

As previously reported, registered users as an investor can rely on professional traders to perform trades using their funds. This would involve a considerable counterparty risk complicated to counter without the option to trade with stop-loss. Geco.one protects users by offering integrated stop-loss.

These are orders that allow users to buy or sell when the market reaches a specified price known as ‘Stop Price.’ Such orders are traditionally used to protect profits, limit losses, or otherwise initiate new orders. A standard method is to set the Stop Loss on a moving average. In general, there is a diversity of trends and debates about the process of using Stop Loss in a trendline. This Stop Loss can also be moved following the moving average.

Consequently, users can trade using their ideas with a complete ecosystem of tools. If we add this to the monitoring and historical records of traders, the platform had to include among its options investments without time limit; and so it is, a complete ecosystem with flexibility coupled with Stop-Limit & Stop-Loss orders make Geco.one a comprehensive platform.

The third sales phase of the GEC token and two exchanges ready to roll

From the total supply of GEC tokens (250,000,000), we find that after the initial sale, an amount of 100,000,000 GEC will circulate. In the third sales phase of the token, we see data regarding the amount available for purchase, bonuses, and dates included for the period. From early July 10 (7:00 a.m. UTC) until the same time on July 14, users who purchase tokens during the third sales session will enjoy a reference bonus of 3%. For that period, the available GEC tokens are 3,000,000 for 0.00006 BTC.

Also, a few days ago, the booming exchange LATOKEN announced the listing for the upcoming dates.  The announcement began like this:

Geco.one (GEC) listed on LATOKEN soon!

Please wait for further announcements.

During the two previous sales phases, the available quantity was also 3,000,000 per period. The Geco.one team established the following distribution parameters on which the initial event is based.

  • 80% of the supply destined for sales
  • 15% for founders
  • 3% for advisors
  • 2% for Bounty (early ecosystem rewards).

Users who want to purchase tokens during the first half of July can count on the proven services of LATOKEN (as noted above) and Coineal exchanges. From Coineal’s website it was communicated by the following statement pointing out the addition to its Launchpad:

We are excited to announce that a presale for GEC (GECOIN) will take place on Coineal Launchpad starting at 7:00 July 1 and ending on 7:00 July 14 (UTC).

The adoption of new technologies is promoting the trade of crypto

Globalization has brought an unprecedented connection between parties. Borders are left behind when it comes to trading, making deals, and selling between peers. With the increasing relationships between individuals, an explosion of markets emerges hand in hand with chains of blocks. A cascade of innovation and development that provides advances and synergies not experienced before.

The era of Big Data and e-commerce has led to the need for digital currencies and tokens facilitating a vibrant and fast-growing ecosystem to be part of through the platform we have described today.

iPhone XR 2019 Available In Various Color Options

New leaks of the iPhone XR 2019 have surfaced, showing its possible color variants. When it launched, the iPhone XR of 2018 had a variation of a lot more colors, which the regular iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max did not have, and it appears that the company has been preparing to keep the same tradition going, with this year’s brand new iPhone XR.

The upcoming iPhone XR is assumed to come with new color options such as black, gold, silver, and red. These color variants will differentiate the new iPhone from all the other smartphones.

These days, the majority of the upcoming smartphones are either entirely or partly leaked before the official release. For instance, the Pixel 3a and the Zenfone 6 were leaked completely before their official announcement.

The Canadian Renders have already displayed details of this year’s brand new iPhone XR which features a dual camera array on the back and a big square camera bump in which camera will be placed, as said in the leaks. There’s also a 360 degree render video depicting the huge notch and the different colors the new iPhone XR will feature.

A few users have been asking around about this year’s iPhone XR’s camera placement. The square bump on the rear side of the device will be hosting the dual cameras the iPhone XR will feature.

The iPhone XI is assumed to come with triple camera setup on the back.

A thing that concerns users and fans of the iPhone is in regard to the huge and unaesthetic notch, which seems to still come with the new iPhone. The majority of smartphone developers and manufacturers have been attempting and succeeding in ditching the notch with the Flip Cameras in the Zenfone 6, per example, it seems that the tech giant behind the popular iPhone isn’t planning to get rid of it anytime soon.

Dark Mode for iOS is already available on unc0ver’s jailbreak version 3.2

The new iOS 13 has been officially announced, and its Dark Mode feature is the main element people are anxiously waiting for. The mode is said to be a working system-wide and on all the native applications. The feature won’t, however, be available until later this year, but thanks to unc0ver developing team, a jailbreak that features it has been released. The version of the jailbreak is numbered 3.2.

As if to take over the reported addition of Dark Mode in the iOS 13, hacking team unc0ver has released their version 3.2 of the jailbreak at the beginning of this month. The release of the jailbreak came a few days before the 2019 WWDC, and it has been found that the rumor is correct. The mode is going to be available for the iPhone, but it will take a few months for users to have access to it.

However, jailbreak fans have an alternative, as the hacking leader @Pwn20wnd and unc0ver his team has released the version 3.2. By offering the newest jailbreak tool, the team also enabled users to a user interface that is not sanctioned by Apple. Unc0ver has therefore decided to mirror a feature that Apple has announced with the upcoming iOS 13.

Apple stated that the Dark Mode was created to offer an excellent viewing experience, particularly in low-light environments. Dark Mode is a feature with system-wide function, and it will be incorporated on native iOS applications but third-party apps as well. However, non-Apple applications have to be re-coded by their developers to allow the feature to function on iOS 13.

Unc0ver’s Dark Mode has the same difficulty, as the incorporation of the feature will depend on the update to be performed by apps and adjustments providers on Cydia. Still, Dark Mode on a jailbreak already is the sure evidence that Apple is sometimes lagging behind independent developers.

Apple has claimed that even though iOS 13 can be installed on the majority of its devices, there are a few models that will be exempted. This means that the upcoming iOS 13 will not be available for install on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and the iPod Touch beginning with the sixth generation and down.

The jailbreak tool which contains the Dark Mode, however, will be available on devices running on iOS versions 11.0 to 12.1.2.

Clash of Clans Available to Play with P.E.K.K.A. King​ Skin

The game studio behind Clash of Clans has unveiled the Gold Pass for the game’s Season Challenges for this month. With the beginning of June, players can take part in tasks and play their way to unlocking the P.E.K.K.A. King skin. Supercell revealed the announcement on Friday morning.

King​ and some 29 more rewards are yours. Players who want to skip a few or all the challenges can also acquire the skin for 3,000 Gems.

Last month’s challenges brought the Gladiator skin to anyone who participated in the challenges. The P.E.K.K.A. King​ may not be like the Gladiator Warden a few players expected, but it’s still a great reward for those who love the game.
