Essentially, it’s a pre-release version of Apple’s mobile operating system that is designed for developers and testers to try out and provide feedback on before it is officially released to the public. This allows Apple to fine-tune the OS based on user feedback, ensuring that the final release is as stable and bug-free as possible.
