If you are looking to get in on the action and download iOS 11.2 Beta 3 without a developer account, then we will walk you through everything.
iOS 11.2 Beta 3 is Available for Public Testers Too. No Need for a Developer Account.
Apple seeded the third beta of iOS 11.2 to developer just yesterday and I'm sure many users out there would be scrambling to try out what the software brings to the table. If you are looking to download the developer oriented software then you obviously need an Apple Developer Program membership as well, which, by the way, is a paid affair.
So, how do you download iOS 11.2 Beta 3 for free? Simple, you head over to beta.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, download a profile and the update will be pushed to you over the air. All of this happens without you having to spend a single dime.
Alternatively, if you believe that you should download the developer-only version of the software, and not the public tester one, then you have that option too. But before we tell you how you can download it, please be aware of the fact that there is absolutely no difference between the developer or public betas of the software, except that the developer-only beta is seeded a couple of hours before the public beta one. If that's something of utmost importance to you, then head over to this link and download the iOS update profile after which you will start receiving developer-only updates over the air. If that means a lot to you, then go ahead with the download.
But be warned: there are chances that something might go wrong as you are taking a route for installation of beta software that is not endorsed by Apple, except the public beta. Therefore I would highly recommend backing up your device safely and securely using either iCloud or iTunes. Once you are done, you are all set to download and install iOS 11.2 Beta 3.
