The thing is already warm, warm. Just a week after the fourth public beta of Watch 7, Apple just released the fifth. And it may be the last. Let's see what the company shows us at the virtual event on the 15th. If you present the Apple Watch Series 6, it would be nice if it accompanied it with the official launch of watchOS 7.
Other rumors indicate that in this event it may be launched iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, leaving the rest of the firmwares for October. We have no choice but to wait for next Tuesday to find out.
Apple has released the fifth public beta of an upcoming watchOS 7 update for users enrolled in Apple's public beta program, a week after the fourth public beta released and just days after releasing a new beta version for developers.
The watchOS 7 update can be downloaded after signing up for the web page from Apple's public beta. You need to meet two requirements to be able to install this update. The first, that your Apple Watch is from the series 3, or 4 5. Not compatible with older Series 1 or 2.
The second requirement is that the iPhone to which your Apple Watch is linked is a iPhone 6s or later, and very important, that you have installed iOS 14 in either of its two beta versions, the developer version, or the public one.
From here we always say the same thing. Although it is already the fifth public beta, installing a firmware that is still in the development phase involves its risks. We recommend not installing it and waiting for the final version, which is less.
And more risk is run on the Apple Watch. On other devices, such as an iPhone, for example, if the public beta of iOS 14 does not convince you, you can restore the device and recover a backup with iOS 13 that you previously made on your computer. Since there is no way to physically connect it to a computer with the Apple Watch, there is no such option, so you can't go back to watchOS 6. Yourself.
