Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 11.4.1 to Public Beta Testers
Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 update to its public beta testing group, one day after seeding the beta to developers and just a few days after releasing iOS 11.4, which introduced AirPlay 2 and Messages in Cloud.
Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.4.1 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.
There were no notable features discovered in iOS 11.4.1 in the first developer beta, suggesting it focuses on bug fixes and other minor improvements.

Now they offer public betas and that's not good either?
Public betas are good. Public betas expose the code to a significantly larger user base and therefore have the potential of uncovering more bugs.
Another nice thing about them? You don't have to load them onto your phone if you don't want.
