Apple has released the third iOS 11 public beta for iPhone and iPad. This allows users who are not registered developers to test pre-release versions of iOS with new features for free.

Some of my favorite gear

Enjoy powerful brightness and rich contrast with OLED HDR+. Discover pure blacks, bright whites and Pantone-validated color with OLED Technology. Starting at $1,299, save up to $1,900 for a limited time only!

In terms of stability, the same warnings apply to any pre-release software: apps may crash, battery life won’t be optimal, and expect performance to be sluggish.
