Prepare Your Device
Since the official announcement of the iOS 15, the focus has shifted to push beta seed for developers. The new beta firmware for iPhone and iPad features many new features and functionalities.
Here is a complete checklist you should go through if you plan to install iOS 15.4 Beta or iPadOS 15.4 Beta.
Get A 64-Bit iOS Device.
Apple has pulled the plug on the support for 32-bit devices. This leaves only 64-bit iPhone and iPad eligible to run the new firmware. If you want to try out iOS 5.4 Beta, make sure you have a 64-bit device. See the list of compatible devices above for that.
Also, if it’s possible, use a spare device to test out iOS 15.4 Beta because it could contain bugs that you would not want on a daily driver.
Install iTunes (Latest Version)
The next step is to ensure that the latest version of iTunes is installed on your Mac or Windows PC. If it’s not updated, do it before installing this beta of iOS 15. Developers using Xcode must also make sure to update to the latest version.
Apple has decided to kill iTunes, but you can still use it to backup and restore iOS on Mac by following the instructions in this tutorial: How to Sync iPhone or iPad without iTunes on Mac.
Backup Your Data To iTunes or iCloud
It’s always wise to back up your data and files before installing a major firmware update. This gives you a wiggle room to restore the previous working version if the updated one is causing issues. Backup is even more critical when downloading a beta update, including apps, games, files, and folders. You can either use iTunes or iCloud to backup your iOS data.
Register For Apple’s Developer Program
Suppose you wish to be a part of Apple’s developer community to continue receiving all the OTA firmware updates, app upgrades, and technical support in the future. In that case, you can opt to join the developer program through a paid subscription renewable yearly.
Apple is expected to release iOS 15.4 public version sometime next month. That said, Apple’s developer program will get preferential treatment when it comes to receiving beta test flights. Apple Developer Program costs $99/year. If you don’t want to spend money and try the new iOS 13, we have the solution in the guide below.
So, now that you have prepared your iPhone or iPad for the iOS 15.4 beta installation, the next step is to download the latest iOS 15.4 beta without a developer account on your iPhone or iPad.
