I haven't had a preview-eligible device in so long that I don't know what's changed since then. I think they say it's impossible, but it's never been anything a dfu restore couldn't handle.

It might be possible with some DFU tricks, but still not "easy". Installing it on your day to day phone is a terrible idea and I've burned myself with it like three years in a row. Having said that...it can't be that bad this time, right...?

I've done it 3 years in a row, and while battery life definitely took a good 15% hit on the initial betas, I've not had anything catastrophic happen.

Considering the iPad betas won't even be available for another week or two, I think it's safe to assume that there's still going to be a bunch of polishing going on in the few months before release.

It's not difficult to go back from a beta because they are still signing the current version. All you have to do is hit restore in iTunes (EDIT - and put the phone in DFU mode). Restoring from a beta backup probably won't work though. You're thinking of people going back to versions that aren't being signed anymore, which is an anti-jailbreak measure. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jun 10, 2013 |

The biggest beta drawback for me past 4 (had some hiccups on 4) was there always is some feature I used once or twice that disappears from the gold edition and I get really confused six months later trying to find wifi/cellular mixing or whatever.

I can't get over how much "5S " looks like "SS", and then Apple has to go make iOS all blonde-haired and blue-eyed... don't get me wrong, I dig the new look, but please don't tell me the new flat icons are Hugo Boss designed.

Can anyone get into the Apple Dev site? I can't even get to the logon screen. e: nevermind, this was covered on the first page. Down for everyone I guess.

For anyone with a dev account, there's the "Platforms State of the Union" at 2:30-4:30 PST, hopefully the video stream will be up soon afterwards. In previous years it was sort of like another keynote but more dev focused so it might have more interesting bits on iOS 7 (and OS X if you're also a Mac user).

The pixel portion of the display has rounded corners too.

Yeah keep in mind the last few iOS updates were full of relatively minor changes so the chances that something gets catastrophically broken in beta were a lot smaller than now with an update that looks like it has a lot of big changes.

Anyone else notice the weather they show in the preview video looks very similar to the new Yahoo Weather app? That's awesome because the Yahoo app is great.

All this talk of advanced multitasking and auto updates makes me wonder if my poor little iPhone 4 will be able to handle iOS7. I know the phone is supported but how well will it run?

Snuffman posted:All this talk of advanced multitasking and auto updates makes me wonder if my poor little iPhone 4 will be able to handle iOS7. I have a feeling that older devices won't have all the new features, like how the 4 doesn't have Siri or Turn-by-Turn. The 4 (and maybe the 4S?) probably won't have parallax and maybe some of the advanced multitasking capabilities. choobs fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jun 10, 2013 |
