If you want to have an iOS beta installed on your iPhone, you can even without being a developer. However, apart from the risks related to instability, you should know that you will lose your warranty with Apple (if you still had it). And this is the case with any other device of the brand in which there is a non-stable version installed.
Why is the guarantee lost?
Most of the reasons why the warranty of an iPhone is lost is due to unauthorized manipulation of the device . Either by opening your chassis without consent or by installing unofficial software. And yes, we know that the iOS betas are owned by Apple and not by strangers, but since they are not the versions that the brand signs in a stable way, it is considered a reason for loss of warranty.
Therefore, if you have the misfortune that your iPhone has to be taken in for repair because it is damaged while in beta, you should know that the company will force you to pay the full cost of it. And it will not matter if the problem is due to a factory defect, since the company is not responsible. In the same way, they could associate the problem that the device presents to being in beta.
How can you avoid losing her?
The most obvious thing is not to install it and thus you will avoid any problem. At the end of the day they are not versions designed for the bulk of the public. However, the most eager and geeks are eager during the summer to try the next big version of the system. In the same way that it happens on these dates with iOS 15.4 and functions such as unlocking the iPhone with a mask.
For this reason, it is advisable that you always make a backup copy prior to the beta and, before going to technical support , reinstall the latest stable version and load the previous backup copy. This will cause all settings changes made during the beta time to be lost, but you’ll still retain the iCloud data and settings you had when you backed up. And yes, you will also avoid losing the iPhone warranty.
The last straw would be that the iPhone did not turn on and therefore you could not restore it in any way. In this case you will not be able to remove the beta and you will have to go to technical support with it. In any case, you should know that these types of repairs for screen damage are also not usually covered by the warranty, unless it is a clear factory problem that manifests itself in various units.
