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://

Also on a 4s, haven't had any problems except instagram crashing seconds after opening it. Fixed that by updating the app.

4s keeps restarting itself. It's happened at least 3 times today, I'm considering switching back to iOS6 just to avoid a crash and dealing with DFU

I've been loving beta 5 on my iphone 5, significantly less buggy and overall smoother animations than beta 3. If anyone's hesitant about trying iOS 7 just go strait to beta 5, you'll love it

I did but for some reason when I put it into recovery mode it immediately overwrote that backup with my blank phone. so I lost all my photos, a bunch of apps, and some contacts after going back to an old backup.

Is anyone out there on beta 5 having problems with calls? I can call someone just fine, and the other end can hear me, but whoever I call is extremely quiet on my end.

Shit... A popsicle dripped on my speaker the other day.

I was able to clear out the stuff that was externally covering the speaker, but I think I am going to have to live with a quiet speaker now. I'm fucking stupid.

with each update its gotten better. still some bugs but id say its worth it. my favorite feature is being able to edit pictures in photos. no editing app required.

you guys can just revert back to 6.1.3, which is what your phones are supposed to be on, and the apple store can't say anything

You could have found that on: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/

Apple is always vague with release dates.

This iOS is only visually appealing, like most Apple products. Runs like shit on an iPhone 4 by the way, it's not really worth upgrading on older models.

Probably because it's a BETA version. Of course it isn't 100% flawless. You're probably the type of person who gives bad ratings to apps that don't work on ios7 either.

Ive been using ios 7 for a while now and my only issue with it is that command center opens a lot when i don't want it to. Usually while I'm scrolling. It happened on this page as a scrolled to the bottom to write this post

Yea i'm pretty butthurt about not being able to play Fruit Ninja on iOS 7. I think I'm going to send Apple an angry email expressing my hatred of their brand and all the products they put out.

you can turn that off, and make the command center only available from the home screen.
