It is worth noting that getting an Apple Developer Account comes with a subscription cost of $ 118.99 / year, so only go ahead if you are okay with that kind of money. It is also worth noting that the first beta version for iOS 16 developers is called the developer beta for some reason. The operating system is sure to have some volatile elements, as it is something that Apple is still actively polishing. It would be wise to install the beta operating system on a backup iPhone, if you have one. If not, make sure you back up all your device data in case things go wrong. If you already have a developer account, scroll down to the “Download” section, but if you do not have one, keep reading. The easiest way to get an Apple Developer account is through the Apple Developer app. Download the app from the App Store and head to the “Account” section within the app. The application will ask you to log in with your Apple ID and then you can click the “Register Now” button. You will then need to agree to the Apple Developer Account Agreement and let Apple know if you are an individual, organization, nonprofit, educational institution or government. Choose the one that suits your description and move on. You will now be taken to the payment screen where you will be informed about the annual recurring cost of the subscription, how to cancel it, what is included in the subscription and much more.
Download
Once you have a developer account, the rest of the download process is simple. Go to developer.apple.com on your iPhone, click on the menu on the left and click “Discover”. You will be taken to a new operating system page and you will need to press ‘iOS’. Click “Download” on the top right and sign in with your Apple Developer Account credentials. Click “Download” again after logging in and you will see that the iOS beta software profile has started downloading. Once the download is complete, go to your iPhone Settings and click “Download Profile” under the Apple ID banner, click “Install” and enter your device password. Give your consent and click “Install” again. Once the installation is complete, restart your device. Next, update your iPhone as you normally would. Go to Settings> General> Software Update> Download & Install and you’re ready. The update is about 5 GB, so it may take some time to complete, after which your device will automatically restart and install the new operating system, allowing you to try out all the fun new things in iOS 16, such as custom screens Lock, Updated Messages, the new iCloud Shared Photo Library and more.
