So you want to install iOS 7 beta on your iPhone. Here are some advise I can give you:

  • Are you an Apple Developer?
    Just because you paid the $99 Apple Developer fee, does not make you an Apple Developer.
    If the answer is “no” then do not install iOS 7 beta on your iPhone.
  • Please do not go to any sites who would give you access to iOS 7 beta by giving them your UDID and some money.
  • Do you have an iPhone (or iPod touch) that you can sacrifice?
    If you do, then go ahead. If you don’t, then proceed with extreme caution.
  • Read the release notes and instructions.
  • Do not post the “iOS 7 beta is so buggy” message on the Apple Developer Forums.
  • Do not post the “Will Apple ever fix this bug?” message on Apple Developer Forums.
    <sarc>Apple will never fix those bugs!</sarc>
  • Be aware that you might not be able to downgrade to iOS 6.
