Nice ad for your beta testers group, I sure hope you asked Mark before posting this. Anyways, you should have included more of a statement or warning for all who might be tempted by installing the beta as soon as it comes out that under no circumstances should one do this if you have just one iOS device and if you rely on said device to perform at its best. Early beta releases including the first couple of public betas can often be very buggy and may include bugs which for many might be show stoppers if they knew about them. There are of course people who should never install beta software because they lack the experience to deal with unexpected issues and while you say one should be a “competent user” of whichever beta program you want to participate in, it takes more than competency at least in my opinion. I know people who are very competent but who like things to work and who get very upset if they don’t work and somebody like that should stay away from beta software and in many cases even from the very first public release of the software in September.

Help Wanted! Apple at its recent WWDC opening keynote, announced the upcoming release of iOS 13, iPad OS, TVOS 13, Watch OS 6, and Mac OS Catalina. As expected, these are major new software releases for all Apple platforms. However, this year promises to be even more exciting than typical releases, as all platforms include major new features and revisions. Would you like a chance to help shape the final releases of this new software, discovering bugs and reporting them to Apple before the official releases occur? Are you a fairly competent user of one or more of the above Apple platforms? Do you possess a positive attitude and a strong work ethic for volunteer opportunities? If you answered yes, we would love for you to become a beta tester! Apple each summer makes available public betas of most Apple platforms, and 2019 promises to be no different. Beginning this July, Apple will release public beta versions of iOS, iPad OS, TVOS, and Mac OS. Testers can install the beta software and receive a sneak preview of all the new features, while helping to perfect the final releases by discovering and reporting bugs and other issues. This is truly an incredible opportunity and an awesome experience - a chance to make a difference for millions of Apple users around the world. As beta testers, Kliph and I run a support group for beta testers. Though not at all affiliated with Apple, we do help to facilitate the process and provide a forum for testers to discuss their findings, ask questions, and more. Since every Apple platform contains massive overhauls this year, we believe it is especially important to get as many beta testers as possible.
