Tag: iOS 13 Beta

Are you considering whether you should get the new iOS 13 beta on your iPhone or iPad as soon as it is out? With just a couple of days away from Apple’s latest release, there are some things you must know before you jump right to it.

Firstly, if you thought of installing the iOS 13 beta, you must know that this version is actually an incredibly early variant of the software, and it is going to be infested with bugs and performance glitches. This is the way it is: betas are made for developers [and public] testing.

As a matter of fact, the initially stated features might not be included in the software launch after all, and you’ll only get replacements for it all over the OS.

Secondly, the beta software never operates nicely with your apps. So, if you’re getting the iOs 13 beta and your apps aren’t working anymore, it is what it is. That is because the apps haven’t been optimized and won’t be updated correctly up until the final version of the iOS 13 is officially launched later this year.

Also, first-party apps can break as well, apps such as Messages, Photos, Notes, Contacts, and so on. You must be very aware of this fact before you install the upcoming iOS 13 beta, for you will run straight into a world of bugs and performance issues. However, if you have an extra iPhone or iPad to spare with the intend to test betas, then you can proceed with no caution and see what Apple has in store.

Finally, if things will go as they last went, then you might not need to spend $99 to get the beta version of the iOS 13. Apple will probably release the iOS 13 beta for everyone as a public beta version.

Apple plans to unveil iOS 13 next month in the WWDC keynote, and we should expect a lot of features and the dark mode from it. If you have an iPhone or an iPad and you wish to install the iOS 13 beta on your device, we can help you. You must start preparing for the software update so that everything goes right from the first day.

Here is what you have to know and what you have to do.

• Device Compatibility – this factor is essential, and some rumors are saying that iOS 13 will support only several devices. The devices rumored are iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPad Air, and iPad Mini 2. Only if you have one of these devices, it is safe to consider an upgrade.
• iTunes and Xcode – for the restore process of your data, iTunes and Xcode are needed. So because betas aren’t nice with the absence of the latter software, you have to download Xcode from the Mac App Store. Xcode can be downloaded for free, and for not running into problems, keep both apps updated. Windows users will have some difficulties at the restore process for the device to iOS 13 beta. The restore process isn’t possible using Microsoft desktop OS, because Apple doesn’t have Xcode for it. To resolve the problem, you have to use the over the air route for installation.
• Back Up Your Data to iTunes or iCloud – one of the vital steps is to back up your data. Use iTunes or iCloud for the backing up your data with what method you prefer. In case of problems with the new beta, you can downgrade to iOS 12 and have all of your data.
• No 32-bit Support – unfortunately, Apple isn’t given support for 32-bit iPhones and iPads anymore, so it’s clear that iOS 13 beta will not be available on old devices such as iPhone 5 or iPad Mini.

Finally, if all our advice is done, then you have to wait for iOS 13 Beta to arrive in the WWDC 2019 from June 3.
