The iOS 17 beta upgrade needs to be paid, and the fans can't sit still!

Just last year, Apple pushed the new iOS16 system to all Apple fans. The new system has brought many new functions to everyone. It must be that many users have upgraded it at the first time. According to the convention, Apple will push the new version of iOS17 system this year. However, it has been announced recently that iOS17 beta upgrade needs to be paid, which is also a groundbreaking thing. Let's take a look at it together!

From iOS  Since 16.4 beta, iPhone has added a "Beta Update" function, which is located in the settings application under General → Software Update. This feature allows users of Apple developer plan to enable iOS developer beta directly on iPhone without installing configuration files from Apple developer website. After the implementation of the new regulations, users must join the Apple Developer Program at a price of $99 per year to install the iOS 17 developer beta released on WWDC in June.

Specific messages

Apple said that in the future iOS version, the "Beta Update" function will be the only way to enable the developer beta, because the profile will no longer grant access. Users who don't want to pay $99 can wait for the public beta of iOS 17, which may be released in July, when they can sign up for free. At present, users can still download description files and install iOS developer beta through BetaProfiles.dev and other websites.

As early as last year, Apple has begun to crack down on websites that share developer beta description files, and the well-known overseas Apple beta system description file sharing website "Beta Profiles" and the well-known website ipsw.dev have been closed one after another. It is reported that Apple also entrusted the Kilpatrick Townsend Stockton LLP lawyer team to be responsible for the infringement of the iOS Beta description file, and provided Github and Twitter with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Removal Notice, requiring the platform to delete the content about the beta software sharing.

If the beta version of iOS 17 really needs to be upgraded for a fee, it must be that many fans will not update and upgrade it until Apple officially pushes the version.
