You could ( and probably should ) wait for the wide release this fall before downloading iOS 8 . But if you dead ca n’t hold off , here ’s how to get Apple ’s brand unexampled iOS 8 beta on your phone right now .
Before you do anything , backup your gimmick . It ’s a proficient approximation anyway before updating , and considering how moody betas tend to be , it is especially important now . We should mention too that we really do n’t commend you do this unless you ’re a serious iOS junky . It ’s going to take a while for iOS 8 to be anything other than a buggy , explosive mess , and unless you have been scratching your eyes out in anticipation , you ’re going to repent it .
That enounce , if you absolutely ca n’t wait ( you could ! ) , you have a match of options .
If you ’re a developer : you’re able to head straight over to Apple ’s Dev Center to lock down your transcript . Just look for the role model number on the back of your phone or iPad , and click the corresponding inter-group communication .
If you ’re not an Apple dev : Or if you just do n’t require to pay the requisite $ 99 to become one , there are significantly cheaper options . All of them amount to essentially buy slots on already - made developer accounts , which is inherently unelaborated and unreliable and you really probably should n’t do it , but if you are desperate , there you go .
According to Got ta Be Mobile , IMZDL is one the well known and most reliable , which should have the betaavailable for download here . Still , it ’s kind of a gamble . And again , you almost by all odds do n’t actually want to do this .
Once you have the beta downloaded :
Plug your phone into you computer and link to iTunes .
With the gimmick window open , hold alt / pick for Mac and shift for Windows while you click Restore .
take the .ipsw filing cabinet you just downloaded .
reestablish from your backup after finishing the installation
Oh , one last promissory note : You really do n’t want to do this . Unless you ’re a dev . Really . But you are your own singular Plectrophenax nivalis , and you have been warn . Happy trail !
