The newest iOS 15 update was unveiled during Apple's WWDC 2021 event and showed a bunch of new and exciting features coming to the iPhone.
Apple fans and iPhone users now have the opportunity to try out the new iOS update as the public beta becomes available to download for everyone.
While the developers beta is available to download and gets newer features quicker than the public beta, it isn't available for every iPhone user to download, therefore, the public beta is probably the better option if you're someone excited to try the new iOS 15 features.
