How do I get it? And can I downgrade?
If the answer to the first is pay, then no. If the answer to the second is you can't then no.

Anyone downloading the iOS 10 Beta on release?

Only have 1 iOS device so, why not? iPhone 6S and will be upgrading as soon as a public beta is released.
I will be installing the iOS 10 beta 1 on my iPad to test it out for a while and try all the new features. Then once its good enough I'll put it on my phone.
I will not be doing the watchOS beta until very close to release because as we all know downgrading it isn't that easy. I've heard you can mail it to Apple and downgrade it though... Thats not something I really want to go through even if thats a thing.
I don't plan to run the beta on my Mac at all. I'll run the GM early but I won't be running the betas on my Mac. My Mac is a very important device, I do a lot of work on it and I simply want it to be functioning at its very best at all times.

People: Can't wait for iOS 10, I'm so tired of how terrible iOS 9 is
People: *Installs first beta*
People: Holy **** this thing is buggy as hell! Apple is doomed, Apple isn't capable of making good software anymore, this is just awful, the battery life is so bad how could they.
People: Apple needs to go back to making good software like back on iOS 9. On iOS 9 everything actually worked and I had good battery life.

If you delete the iOS 9 beta profile and install an iOS 10 one you should be able to update over the air from the beta. Or at least would make sense to me. But at last resort I'm certain you can upgrade from one beta to another with the IPSW.
Welcome to "this is beta, what are you expecting" and they find exactly same bug and piss poor performances with public release..this cycle never ends as well.
We has consumer have right to complain and iOS 9 is crap... There are never been so much problem with iOS 9. First with problem with setup after iOS 9.3 setup for that activation lock thing, then there is iOS 9.3.2 bricking iPad Pro..
This. Thanks, I was waiting for that kind of comment.
We (customers) don't give a f*** if the betas are bugged and/or performance is slow, but when the final release is just like the first beta then yes, we have the right to complain.
And by the way, the "iOS 10 is laggy, iOS 9 was the best OS Apple ever released" sentence is pure bulls*** and is simply not true because people have been complaining about performance drop since iOS 7 but the fact that iOS is getting slower and slower with each release is why people usually take the previous version as reference to compare to the newest one.

Not really. That's why Apple now gives away its OSes for free. So we have no right to complain.
It's worth exactly what we paid for it.
Arguably you pay for the OS when you buy the device. The OS is included in the purchase price of the device. However this whole we do or don't have a right to complain thing feels childish to me.
as always ill try it, if beta 1 is too bad in terms of battery life or incompatible apps ill wait to my usual beta 3 where things really pick up
hope the dark theme rumors are accurate..

I think I will wait for the final release because I don't want to deal with bugs and crashes on my personal device.
But knowing how I'm a big Apple fan, I will probably download the beta the minute it's released, I just can't resist lol.
Exactly.
I'll just install it on one of my backup devices to test.
[doublepost=1465574845][/doublepost]Guys, guys. It's totally okay to install a beta (which was not meant for you), but please PLEASE don't complain about issues.
Compared to the bricking with iOS 8, and the bricking with iOS 7 and the bricking with iOS 6?
iOS is progressively worse in terms of UI fluidity and stability... I got way more crash and UI glitches since iOS 7 than any other iOS before.
I really do hope iOS 10 bring back iOS 6 stability and speed.
I do every year so of course I'll be on this one. iOS betas can be a little sketchy sometimes but for the most part they hold up well enough for day to day use. It's fun being able to use the newest iOS before the masses and to watch it evolve over the months leading to release.
