First iOS 11 Public Beta for Testers is Now Available for Free - Here's How You Can Download it Today

Apple promised that it would release iOS 11 Public Beta later this month, and it has done well on that. Unlike its developer-oriented counterpart, the Public Beta of iOS 11 is absolutely free to download and install. The only major difference between the Public Beta and Developer Beta is that the former is available only as an over the air download. There's no image file you can get your hands on in order to perform a clean install using iTunes.
