If you're preparing to go on a trip or if you're in the middle of a trip, avoid the iOS 17 beta. The iOS 17 beta has the potential to cause problems on your phone and that's probably the last thing you want to be dealing with during a fun vacation or an important business trip. Over the years we've seen travelers complain about apps not working, email breaking, and maps and GPS acting up. That's not ideal if you're on business or you're traveling in a foreign place for the first time. If you're going to be away from home and away from your backups, we highly recommend waiting until you're back before trying out the beta. | ||||||||||||||||

I would never install a beta on any primary use device. I would also wait for at least a couple revisions of a final release to eliminate the bugs found after a public release. Sometimes bugs just are not found until more devices start running the new OS.
