Registered developers can download iOS 17.5 beta 3 over the air, as Apple has made it simpler for users to install beta updates on their respective devices. You must ensure your Apple ID is connected to your developer account to receive the update in the Settings app. Head over to General > Software Update > Beta Updates, and install the latest beta on your iPhone or iPad.
watchOS 10.5 beta 3 is also available alongside iOS 17.5, which can be installed on all compatible Apple Watch models through the dedicated Apple Watch app on your iPhone. The beta will be available over the air in General > Software Update > Beta Updates. You can download it after connecting your Apple ID to your developer account.

Furthermore, it should be in the range of your iPhone and connected to the internet.
macOS 14.5 beta 3 can be downloaded on your Mac through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings. It is unclear what the latest beta has in store for users, but we will update you as soon as additional details are available.
