Apple recently announced their new software update for their iPhones, iOS 15.6. The tech giant has tried to level up its game with this update since it has many new features such as Spotlight photo search, Live Text, SharePlay, etc. Since this update to iOS has such big changes, who would not want to try it? But as of now, iOS 15.6 can be downloaded only as a developer beta version. So, in this article, we will show you how to download and install iOS 15.6 developer beta on iPhone.
Requirements for Installing iOS 15.6 Developer Beta on iPhone
Just like installing MacOS Monterey 12.5 Developer Beta on MacBook, there are some requirements for installing iOS 15.6 developer beta on iPhone too. Those requirements are:

- An iPhone 6s or later version of iPhone. Here is a list of iPhones that are compatible with iOS 15.6 and will likely get an update too.
