I am currently still signed up for the Apple developer program and installed via iTunes after downloading the full installer package. My annual Apple Developer subscription is coming up for renewal at the end of July, but I don't think I am going to renew it especially since I am also registered for the public beta program and while I used to enjoy getting my hands on a new iOS version right after WWDC, I am not that keen about it any more and happily wait a month or six weeks for the public beta.

If you installed OTA, from which website did you obtain the installation profile?

However, especially the first public beta can often have many bugs and you really have to be willing to put up with those. In this case, the third beta for developers became the first public beta and I can assure you that there are issues with various aspects of iOS. Apps may crash or not load at all, SIRI and Voiceover may not function as expected and so on. Being on the cutting edge can be fun, but it is not for the faint of heart. If you rely on your iOS device a lot and don't have a secondary device like an iPad or iPod Touch you could use for the beta I'd think twice. I have been enrolled in the developer program and have beta tested at least the last 3 or so iOS versions, but in the case of iOS 9 I downgraded back to 8.4 after Beta 2 came out and I believe I will wait until at least one more beta version has been released before trying it again.

I know you can't talk about what features and stuff, but I was just curious if I could install it, or do I have to pay?
