The iOS 16 developer beta can be downloaded and installed on your iPhone without requiring an active developer account. The iOS 16 developer beta can be downloaded directly to your iPhone via OTA, so you don't even need access to your Mac to install it. Learn how to install iOS 16 beta on your iPhone with or without a developer account by reading the instructions down below.
As anticipated, Apple immediately followed the conclusion of the opening keynote at WWDC 2021 by releasing the iOS 16 developer beta 1.
Apple has released the developer beta profile of iOS 16 in addition to the IPSW files for iOS 16 (which are used to install iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and Apple Watch OS). Regardless of who you area developer or not, once you install the iOS 16 beta profile on your iPhone, it will automatically get the OTA update. The only thing you need to do is get your hands on the iOS 16 beta profile.
With improvements to the lock screen, system apps, personalization settings, new developer APIs, and of course, privacy enhancements, iOS 16 is a nice upgrade.
On your iPhone, you may always install iOS 16 and then, after a few days, return it to iOS 15.6. In July, the public beta versions of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are expected to be released.
Check the list of iPhones that are compatible with iOS 16 before you begin. We'll demonstrate how to use an IPSW firmware file and a developer beta profile to install the iOS 16 beta. Let's get going.
How to Download the IPSW Firmware for iOS 16
You must have an Apple developer account to get the iOS 16 beta IPSW (don't worry, we also have another option). If not, try obtaining the IPSW from other third-party sources or downloading it from a friend's or relative's developer account. Make sure you are downloading the IPSW file on a fast internet connection because it will be significantly larger than the OTA file.
