You didn't get in because you signed up in the middle of 8.3 testing. "Invites" we're done the day 8.3 public beta started. (Though even if you did sign up before 8.3 started it still wouldn't have guaranteed a spot.)

Compare with developer beta, public beta is more like a developer beta while developer beta is more like a public beta. The only difference is developer beta needs you to pay for it.
I say this because I think developer beta is somewhat more open than public beta.
I think this is likely. あの、beta 1 has serious battery issue, and beta 2 has performance issue. So in beta 3, everything would become stable. Release this version as a public beta, could let beta testers test a relatively stable iOS. Plus, this could create a good image for Apple, letting testers think "Oh, beta software is really great, really usable. Apple does some great job!", something like this.
Everyone hopes it will come as early as possible.I think it will be 7 July..
However apple...
Anyway...
I forget what I want to say.
Seems like there is enough pointing to it happening at some point this week making the possibility of it not coming much less likely (it's still there of course, it's just not that likely at this point).
It should be guaranteed. The 8.3 and 8.4 betas were a bit different I think. People who weren't invited could not even access the webpage in those betas. With 9, they don't give any implication that it is invite only. See for yourself. beta.apple.com
If it is invite only, I would be livid.
Have you checked in recently? You had to agree to the terms all over again after WWDC it seems that this Beta may not be as closed. I know this time around I'm seeing that iOS 9 will be a public beta for 8.3 I didn't.
I think public beta will be released with Beta 4, two weeks from today or tomorrow. When they say a month its usually not in the beginning of a month. Hope I'm wrong.
I never had to agree to terms all over again after WWDC, but that could be because I had access to 8.3-8.4 and agreed to terms then?
I had read some people did. I know when I went in I had to agree to the terms and I had previously but then again all I had access to prior to WWDC was just the OSX betas.
I had OS X Yosemite from last summer and when iOS 8.3 became public beta received the email from Apple and had been given access. If I remember right I had to agree to terms before being able to put the profile on my phone. So yeah, that could be why I haven't had to agree to terms again after WWDC for the iOS 9 sign up. (Didn't even need to sign up again, just got a page saying I will get an email when 9 became available.)
Fingers crossed for 9 beta today as battery been awful on 8.4 had to charge it more for the final release than when it was on beta release
Well as it's been 17 minutes I'm going to go with we're not getting it today. Go home folks nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
