iOS 12 download available now, but beta iPhone and iPad software not recommended

The brand new iPhone software can now be downloaded. When Apple unveiled iOS 12 – the new operating system, which brings features including animoji changes and new ways of limiting how long users spend on their phones – it gave it to developers so they could start getting their apps ready for the new software. It won't be fully available to the public until this autumn, probably alongside new iPhones. However, that developer version of iOS 12 is now out in the wild and so it is possible for anyone to download it to their device should they want to. Doing so involves a number of risks, however – all of them not worth taking.
