Apple has just released iOS 11 Beta 9 for compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. iOS 11 Beta 8 was released earlier this week.
iOS 11 Beta 9 Arrives Soon After Beta 8 - Most Likely Fixes a Critical Issue
Apple was releasing earlier iOS 11 betas on a bi-weekly basis. That timetable migrated to a weekly routine. Today, Apple is breaking tradition altogether with the release of iOS 11 Beta 9 completely out of the blue. This is odd given the fact that iOS 11 Beta 8 was released on Monday. Nonetheless, we have a brand new build at hand that likely fixes something crucial and everyone should go ahead and download it right away.

- Connect your iPhone or iPad to a WiFi network and make sure the battery is above the 50% mark.

Though we are extremely close to the release of iOS 11 to the public, I wouldn't recommend installing the beta at this point.

Given the speed at which Apple released Beta 9, it's likely that the company found a show-stopping bug that needed to be patched. This means that everyone should go ahead and update to the latest build right now without giving it a second thought.
