And, for what it’s worth, the Apple Developer website has off handedly announced the OS X El Capitan and iOS 9 public beta program for registered Apple Seed testers will soon begin.

We reported about all the new apps and features seen in the latest iOS 9 beta and in that report we’d mentioned how the News app is not officially available for users outside the supported countries like United States or UK.

The app looks interesting from the video, it works in a similar way to Flipboard and other news reader apps. To aid in the development of the new update, Apple has released a developer preview of iOS 9, which requires a developer account to install, but there’s a workaround for that too. Sign in using your credentials.

Next up, the Apple News app is here to serve up curated lists of news content from all over the web and displaying it in an intuitive, iOS-friendly way. But before rushing to install the operating systems, Apple highly recommends backing up your Mac via Time Machine and your iOS devices through iTunes. Don’t let your iPhone and iPad feel neglected, though-Apple is also launching the public beta of iOS 9.

In iOS 9, the new Photos app includes two new default albums that many users will appreciate. Now, preliminary stats are in, and it seems as though many people have already upgraded to iOS 8.4 to try out the three-month Apple Music trial.

There’s also deep app searching directly from the Spotlight screen, allowing users to search for information within third-party apps on the iPhone and iPad. Back up your photos, and not just your Camera Roll. You can install El Capitan on any Mac running Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite. OS X El Capitan has entered public beta, and you can download it by going to beta.apple.com and following the step-by-step instructions. You’ll need to put the device into recovery mode by powering it down and then holding the Home button down as you plug it into the computer. Typically these codes will be displayed automatically, but if you’ve dismissed your code and need to view it again, you can do so here. News also combines the rich and immersive design found in print with the interactivity of digital media, letting you enjoy stunningly crafted articles just how the publisher intended.
