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 -
