Ever since Apple has shared first look of its latest software upgre iOS 14 to its fanbase, a number of third-party websites have been claiming to provide beta version of latest iOS for users to test out. Android launchers imitating latest iOS 14 have alrey been released in Play Store and different online app markets. Similarly, one of fake websites by name 'getiosbeta.com' listed an article that claimed to provide downlo link for beta version of iOS 14.

One of easiest ways to refute claims me by getiosbeta.com is to access official website of Apple which states that beta versions of latest software will be coming soon for users to test. official test runs for iOS beta programs have t started yet. website getiosbeta.com is actually a redirect link to a website named 'besttechinfo' which has a link to a YouTube video from channel 'iCrackUriDevice' which has posted video to downlo iOS 14 beta version.

video posted in link is also visibly fake as phone shown in video is supposed to be sporting latest software, but can rar be seen placed against a green screen which makes it evidently fake. Check it out below  -

rmally, Apple's beta software can only be downloed from ir official website. Any third party iOS variants cant be installed on an iPhone unless device has been jailbroken. As per reports, Apple will be making iOS 14 beta software available for downlo from July 13, 2020. public beta is often released a few weeks before official versions are me public, in order to give tech giant to fix any issues which may arise with newer software.
