Haha I see now..By the way it was worded I was like wtf how would the update make the phone. What difference does it make if the update comes out before or after you get the new phone?

Simply to have the latest update setup as a fresh install. That's all.
 
Does this work the same as the 8.1 beta, where you can update without having your UDID registered?

yeah never update without a registered UDID cause you never know if i'll work or not. Most of the time no. But i've been harassing 😉 some sites via twitter to get them to upload the update so we can all enjoy it. They said it'll be up "in a few days". 😱😀🙂
 
just updated my iPhone 5 to this beta and I have to say i'm very, very impressed and pleased to FINALLY see iOS return to normalcy. it's pretty damn good and you see that the second the os finishes restoring. Will keep an eye on the battery life but so far it's much better than the 8.1 official which was better than 8.0 but still garbage imo. 🙂
