In years past, only Apple’s registered developers were given access to early betas of OS X builds. Today Apple has changed its tactics and decided to give the access of a “Public beta” build to normal users in order to try it out.
Apple has said that it will open up Public Yosemite beta for everyone later this summer and now CNET is reporting that the company is set to release the beta version of OS X 10.10 Yosemite to the public on Thursday, July 24…
According to CNET:
The company plans to release the beta version of Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite to the public on Thursday, giving consumers their first chance to try out Apple’s latest advances.
You can sign up for the Public OS X Yosemite Preview beta at Apple’s OS X Beta Program webpage here. The firm has said that the public beta will only open to the first million applicants.
The preview version is free to download, as will be the final version when it launches this Fall. Data suggests that Yosemite betas are seeing four times greater usage compared to Mavericks.
