Apple could release its new iOS 13 operating system a few days after the hypothetical keynote that many will say will arrive on September 10th. The release date could be September 17th and the preparations to arrive with the complete and functioning ” code ” are in ferment. Here is that in the last few hours, the Cupertino company has decided to release the Beta version of iOS 13.1, effectively skipping an iOS 13 release that now seems to be really at the finish line.
iOS 13.1: Why was it released before iOS 13?
Apple has decided to release in the late evening yesterday on the Beta channel for developers the new version of iOS 13.1 together with iPadOS 13.1. A step that somehow seems to direct the Cupertino company towards an obvious road that at this point will only release iOS 13 officially and publicly in the coming weeks while maintaining Beta 13.1 and allowing new features not yet ready to be tested. for the public version.
This seems to be the reason for the jump to iOS 13.1 in the development channel. We know that Apple will introduce some important new features with the new iOS 13 and these new features may not yet be completely ready for the public version of the iPhone and iPad. This only leads to a split release of the versions on the two channels thus still allowing the complete development in iOS 13.1 of the unprepared features that can be introduced later by Apple.
iOS 13: What changes on iPhones and iPad
The main novelty of iOS 13 is the long-awaited ” Dark Mode “, that is the Dark Theme that Apple, after the many requests of the users, has landed on the new operating system for the iPhone. The backgrounds change when you access the dark mode, a bit like it already happens on macOS.
Interesting how Apple has rewritten the code by bringing the dark theme novelties to make them their best. Another new feature is the new ” swipe ” keyboard that will allow you to write simply by swiping your finger over the various keys.
News also for some applications like Note, Reminder but also the Gallery that have been redesigned changing some features and some aspects. Not only because iOS 13 will introduce news in Maps, privacy and localization but also the new ” Sign In with Apple ” a sort of access guaranteed with Apple ID on many websites.
Here you find all the news coming up with iOS 13 which we remember could be officially released on September 17th if Apple will confirm the keynote presentation for the previous week.
iOS 13: How to test the Beta version?
If you don’t want to wait for the release of the new iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 you can still try the system first and help Apple even for future versions of its operating systems. Here is the procedure to register for the Beta program :
- You must first go to this address and click on the ” Sign in ” button.
- You must then log in with your Apple ID and clearly enter the password. If you do not have an Apple ID click on ” create one now ” and follow the various steps to create a new account.
- After indicating Apple ID and password, just go to ” Sign in “.
- The user license will appear, the agreement with Apple that must be read and accepted by clicking ” Accept “.
- At this point, you have to choose the beta that interests us or if you want to try the beta of iOS you have to choose the ” iOS for iPhone / iPod Touch ” and confirm by indicating Apple ID and password. Same thing for iPhone.
- Scrolling, after the advice on making a backup to recover the data, the ” Download Profile ” button will appear. Press to open a window to confirm the installation of the configuration profile. Pressing ” Allow ” will then go to ” Settings ” then ” General ” and ” Profile ” and then ” Install ” .
- The device will restart and upon restarting in the ” General ” and ” Software Update ” section it will be possible to download and install the iOS 13 Beta.
Remember that if you want to uninstall the beta version of iOS, you need to initialize and restore the device. So if you have a backup stored on your computer clearly performed with iOS 12 you can use it for recovery. Here’s how to proceed:
