If you already follow Apple many years ago, you should know that the beta versions of operating systems are first released to developers registered with the Apple Developer Programwhich costs $99/year.

In a very unexpected gesture, however, Apple is releasing access to the test versions of iOS 17do iPadOS 17do watchOS 10do macOS 14 It’s from tvOS 17 — whose first beta versions were released yesterday — to any user who has an Apple ID!

They had even started to pop up some rumors that this might be possible, but the thing now seems to be duly confirmed. This can be observed in comparison page of the plans on the Apple Developer site, as noted by the profile iSoftware Updates no Twitter:

Apple has officially made the betas available to developers for free. You just need to sign in with any Apple ID here developer.apple.com/account/

This is a very big change on the part of the company, even more so if we consider that it already made public beta versions of the systems available. Obviously, anyone still thinking about distributing applications on the App Store will have to pay the annual fee to Apple.

It is still good news! It’s always good to remember, however, the possible risks of this practice — still, is anyone going to consider installing these versions on their main devices?
