Apple has just seeded the 2nd test version of its upcoming iOS 11 software for iPhone and iPad, exactly 16 days after the release of the first Developer beta. The 11th iOS generation has been presented earlier this month, during the WWDC 2017 keynote and is expected to become publicly available this fall together with the upcoming iPhone 8. iOS 11 is currently only downloadable to Developers, but will soon become available to public testers too, via Apple’s Beta Testing Platform.

We’ve already toyed with the first iOS 11 beta and are currently testing out the 2nd version too. You can also do the same, even if you’re not an Apple Developer, by using this workaround for installing iOS 11 Developer beta 2 on your device. Do mind, that we’re still in the early testing stages and your iPhone or iPad will get the full bugs and lags package along with the impressive new features!
