How to install iOS 13 beta 1 on your iPhone or iPad right now

%name How to install iOS 13 beta 1 on your iPhone or iPad right now by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

After unveiling the most important iOS 13 features on stage at WWDC 2019, many of which were leaked in the weeks preceding the event, Apple released the first iOS 13 beta to developers, who can install the early version of the operating system on compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.

As with previous betas, the first release is meant for developers to use first, as it might be less stable than the public beta that Apple will roll out to all users in July. However, considering what we saw in previous years, we’d expect iOS 13 beta 1 to deliver a decent experience for a first beta release. Also, like with every developer beta before, you’ll be able to install it without actual access to a developer account.

%name Apple just debuted MacOS 10.15, and it’s packed with new features by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple chose to wrap up its annual WWDC keynote this year with a showcase of MacOS 10.15. The upcoming MacOS update will include a suite of new features that promote productivity and ease of use.

To start, Apple addressed the drama surrounding the death of iTunes. After a bit of good-natured humor where Craig added a bunch of pointless features to iTunes, Apple revealed they will actually be splitting the app into three other apps we’re already familiar with: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV.

With WWDC 2019 finally upon us, Apple is at long last ready to reveal all of the software refinements, improvements, and new features it’s been working on for the last year. As in previous years, Apple at WWDC will introduce notable updates across the entirety of its software line, including tvOS, watchOS, macOS, and of course, iOS.

Apple’s WWDC keynote kicked off not too long ago, and we’ve already seen some intriguing updates regarding tvOS, watchOS, and of course, a number of iOS improvements — including Dark Mode — designed to enhance the user experience across the board.

We’re just a few minutes in to Apple’s WWDC 2019 keynote, and we’ve already been introduced to the latest version of tvOS. Up next, the Cupertino company gave us our first look at watchOS 6. Apple started off by showcasing some of its latest watch faces, including a gradient face, a new digital face, and a solar face. It is also now possible to have your Apple Watch play audio chimes, like bird noises, at every hour on the hour.

But then we got the big news: the App Store is coming to watchOS. You can now install apps directly on your Apple Watch which will run independently – without the need for a companion app on your iPhone. Some of the new apps include Audio Books, Voice Memos, and a calculator. Wrapping up the apps section, Apple announced a streaming audio API and an extended runtime API (but Spotify was nowhere to be seen).
