How to Download iOS 15.5 Developer Beta Beta on iPhone
Apple has released the beta version of iOS 15.5 with new features that require third-party developer input. The company releases trial versions for developers so software engineers can get a head start in making great software for you. While the beta version has new features, it also has pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iOS devices, and is not intended for daily use on a primary device. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and use generic betas with caution. If you rely on your hardware, wait for the final version. But if you really want to download iOS 15.5 beta for developers on your iPhone, this article is for you. We will discuss the iOS 15.5 developer beta.
1. What is iOS 15.5?
It is a beta or beta version for upcoming iOS versions. Apple has released iOS 15.5 beta for developers. Those with registered developer accounts can download and install the trial version now via their Mac and should be able to install the trial profile and install it as a live update on iPhone soon.
Points to note:
iOS 15.5 is supported on iPhone 6s and later.

2. iOS 15.5 Features
Order and send an Apple Cash card
In the Wallet app, there are large "Request" and "Send" buttons that appear when you look at the Apple Cash card.
iTunes Pass = Apple Account Balance
iTunes Pass, an outdated feature to store and manage your iTunes balance in Wallet, is changed to Apple account. The card in Wallet will work as before, showing the unused balance in your Apple account. The name better reflects that it can be used in the App Store and in-app purchases, among other things. However, the name change was not yet present in the first beta version of iOS 15.5.
SportsKit and baseball
The new framework "SportsKit" has been in the works for some time, as references return to iOS 15.2. While the framework is not yet available to developers, it is being expanded in iOS 15.5 to better support things. Just in time for Friday baseball nights!
