14 DAY TRIAL // Users wanting to get an early taste of Apple's upcoming iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra, and tvOS 11.2.5 operating systems can now install the second Public beta releases on their registered devices.
Apple released the second betas of the iOS 11.2.5 and tvOS 11.2.5 operating systems the other day only for registered developers with a paid and active Apple Developer account, but now any user can install them through the Apple Beta Software Program, along with macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra Public beta 2.
Their available only for early adopters willing to overlook some bugs here and there or deal with poorer battery life. To install the Public beta 2 versions of the iOS 11.2.5, tvOS 11.2.5, and macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra, all you have to do is to enroll your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac device in the Apple Beta Software Program.
iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3, tvOS 11.2.5, and watchOS 4.2.2 expected early 2018
While development just kicked off for the next batch of updates for Apple's iOS 11.2, macOS High Sierra 10.13, tvOS 11.2, and watchOS 4.2 operating system series, we're looking at early 2018 for the final releases of the iOS 11.2.5, macOS 10.13.3, tvOS 11.2.5, and watchOS 4.2.2 updates for all supported devices.
Until then, you can check out our tutorials (here, here and here) on how to install the latest iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 Public betas on your devices if you want an early taste of their new features and improvements. However, we don't recommend you to install beta software on your devices if you're not a developer.
Apple has yet to improve the battery life on some iPhone units running iOS 11.2 as we didn't notice any update on that front since iOS 11.2 was still in beta testing. Nor iOS 11.2.1 or the latest iOS 11.2.5 beta improved the battery life on our iPhone 7 device, which drains faster than ever in less than 24 hours without too much stress.
