Apple follows a very stable path in iPhone updates. The company, which delivers new versions to all supported models in a timely manner, offers the opportunity to experience new features early for those who registered for the developer version.

Just a few days ago, iOS 16.4 beta 1 update was released for iPhone users. While the new features reach the devices with the latest update, the " Beta Updates " menu has been added to the General → Software Update section . The new function added by Apple reveals that users can now sign up for the developer version directly from the phone. However, this feature will unfortunately be subject to a fee.

EARLY ACCESS TO NEW FEATURES WILL NOW BE CHARGED

According to Macrumors, Apple Developer Program members can now activate iOS developer betas on iPhone without having to install a configuration profile from the Apple Developer website for a fee of $ 99 .

With this innovation, registration for the iOS developer beta will be stopped by downloading profiles from websites such as BetaProfiles.dev. Currently, Apple is closing websites such as BetaProfiles.com in August, while users will be able to install a beta version on their devices if they pay $ 99 in the future.

You will have to pay $99 per year for Apple's Developer Program. On the other hand, it is not known whether users will still use the IPSW file for free. Access to other sites with IPSW.dev links will likely be blocked once the subscription begins.
