The above video highlights all the steps required to install iOS 11 Gold Master for free without a developer account.

Today, ensuing yesterday’s release of iOS 10.2.1, Apple seeded the first beta iteration of iOS 10.3 to registered developers; a firmware which has yet to be issued to public beta testers. In addition to discussing the features and changes the new firmware offers, we’ll also mention how iOS 10.3 affects jailbreaking (it’s good)! iOS 10.3 add Find my AirPods to the Find my iPhone app (a perfect solution if one – or both – get away from you), new security options to the Settings app, a podcasts widget, the ability for developers to reply to app reviews and more! Beyond the typical changes, Apple has also shift to a new format in iOS 10.3: Apple File System (APFS), which may cause issues when updating – backing up ahead of time via iTunes is recommended.
