How to install iOS 11 public beta






On June 5, 2017 Apple unveiled its 11th major release of the iOS Operating System, iOS 11 at the  company's Worldwide Developers Conference. At the same time Apple released first iOS 11 public beta version for iPhone and iPad. Recently Apple released the fourth iOS 11 public beta.

A large number of Apple devices support the beta release and I’m going to tell you how to get it. It is quite easy to install iOS 11 beta release but it is bit risky too.
The beta releases are subjected to be unstable. You can even lose your all data , so I recommend you do not install this unless you are completely aware of what you are doing.
According to me , installing the beta versions of iOS 11 on your primary device is a bad idea as it may lead to  fraught experience, so I recommend you to install the beta versions on your Secondary device.
If these warnings have not deterred you then before installing the iOS 11 beta release make sure to take the complete backup of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch first.

If you any of the device listed below then you can install iOS 11 beta release.

iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus

How to Hard Reboot an iPhone or iPad

No one can easily doubt over the engineering efforts made by Apple. Despite of that there are some chances that your iPhone or iPad might stop working, by which I mean it stops responding to your touch. At that moment you need to reset your iPhone and considering the worst scenario no matter how long you hold the power button the power off option doesn’t show up. This condition may arise due to any software bug or unwanted behaviour of any app. In such cases there is  a straightforward method to resolve it , which involves forcing your device to reboot. This method is termed as reset or hard restart which is done by holding down the combination of 2 buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or more. By doing so all running processes will be cleared and the device will be rebooted forcibly. Talking about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Home button is not a physical button anymore. So the button combination is bit different in these devices than their predecessor. ...

Tech Demises of 2017 !

Hello friends and followers , 2017 is on the verge of ending and we are here to bid farewell to the technologies that died in 2017. The circle of life is not just limited to living things , it has the same impact over technology and so every year brings a wave of old products and failed ideas that make way for newer and better ones. This year we lost some once-iconic technology which lost their impact long ago along with some junk that shouldn’t have existed in the first place. In 2017 , many Microsoft products met their blue screen of death. Apple also joined the list as they pulled the plug on the couples of iPods, slammed the door at their iconic iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano.
