So i saw a thread on "Thoughts About ios 7" and figured i would post a thread on how to get it for free. All of you know that IOS 7 has been reveled and that you can "only" get it of you are a developer welllllll not true i just got it and it literally took me 15 min (mainly just waited for stuff to download) Anyways its super easy and it beats paying 108$ just watch this - http://

Protip: greentext doesn't work so well outside of imageboards like 4chan.

Smart. I'm gonna try lasting on ios7 for a bit longer. I've found a way around my biggest grief - podcast app not working

OTA from settings>general>software update

skipping right to the most recent beta version doesnt work to my knowledge (or at least hasnt for me when i tried skipping straight to 2) have to install 1 and OTA update which may take you straight to 3?

Tried to get beta 4 OTA today, didnt show up under settings->general->software update. I'm guessing this is because of the new security elgato mentioned, but could it be that they just havent released beta 4 yet?

oh thats stupid. my apps arent crashing with this beta 3, but my phone will randomly turn off 5+ times throughout the day.

all in all i think getting this was a bad decision

In pretty sure the whole beta program is still down because of the hacking last week. Beta 4 won't be released for a while yet.

Mine works great. A little buggy here and there, but what do you expect? It's a beta. Also the release of beta 4 has been delayed because of a hack into the developer database at apple.

iOs 7 made my phone unusable by constantly crashing and being buggy, but I still miss it.

iOs 6 feels so ugly and outdated now :(

First world problems I guess.

My beta 3 works fine, but since I won't be able to get beta 4 it would be best to restore to ios6 before beta 3 expires so my phone doesnt brick out?

It randomly shuts my phone off sometimes but you can reboot it by holding the two buttons. It's a beta version so there are a ton of bugs still

i dont want to have to downgrade, but at the same time, after some of the shit i have read i wouldnt be surprised if they went on way harder lockdown on who can use the beta.

its gotten to the point where idiots who do not understand the concept of a beta are down rating apps and giving bad reviews because they are incompatible with their pre release test ios7 software.

between this and the developer portal being hacked is a prime example of why we cant have nice things..... so many fucking idiots who ruin it for everyone else

Haven't really noticed much difference between beta 3 and 4, but I'm sure there were probably a lot of interface bugs smoothed out. The only thing is they slightly changed the lock screen to let me know which way to swipe when unlocking. Thanks. OTA update went 100% smooth, though.

yep, same here. seems a little smoother, but that might just be me imagining it

but yeah, OTA update from beta 3 to beta 4 went fine. the full change log is online, the main things they seemed to change were that lock screen thing, and the dialer
