Dieter Bohn Apple's public betas are here: iOS 13, iPadOS, and more

It's public beta day for Apple devices: if you have an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV, you can now start testing the next version of their OS.

As always, think twice before installing this on a primary device — there are bound to be bugs, and rolling your device back isn't always easy.

(Of course, as a reader of this newsletter, I'm guessing you've already made up your mind either way.)

Here's how to install everything.

And here are our previews of what to look for:

+ iOS 13 — dark mode, Apple Maps, reminders, and more
