No one “needs” a product that has not yet been released. You can get it as a participant in the public beta, but once you have it you can no longer get any support for it. And the reason it is a beta (short for “beta test”) is because it hasn’t been thoroughly tested and debugged; that’s the purpose of the beta, to find the most critical bugs. There are posts here every day from people who want to remove iOS 17 from their iPhones, which is something to think about. If you really want it go to here→Apple Beta. Read the instructions carefully, including the part about not installing it on your only device that you cannot do without.
