First iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas are now available

Vlad, 09 July 2020

Today Apple has made the first public beta builds for iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 available through its beta program enrollment process.

So far, before these public betas went out, we've had two developer betas out, one that was released immediately after the two OS versions got official at WwDC, and the second that got out yesterday.

Make sure you read our announcement posts to get a rundown of what's new in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. We also have a list of interesting additions, as well as a hot take on iOS 14.
