Beta OTA Updates

In addition to seeding beta versions of iOS as beta firmwares, Apple also distributes them as OTA updates. Installation of these required either a beta firmware to have been installed, or a configuration profile to change the location where the OS checks for updates. To use this software legally, you must enroll in either the Apple Developer Program or the Apple Beta Software Program. The download links provided on the following pages link directly to Apple's servers, but these do not provide a means of installation.
