Same here

Y'all are asking for the wrath of the moderators.

 

[matttye]

Anyone actually have it installed yet? Want to know if there's any changes other than the new ringtones and new wallpapers.

Can everyone please stop asking for links. Would be nice if one thread about the GM can stay open!! - against the rules

So on the 18th will I have to plug into my computer or will I be able to on my phone.

 

[Jman13]

Mine is working fine on windows. At what point did you get the notification?

[EDIT: works on Windows, you just can't restore your back up]

So, iCloud restore?

On 9/18 you can do it on your phone, assuming you don't have a beta ios7 installed.

OTA on the 18th if you are running iOS 6.

That will work perfectly. I backed up to iTunes on windows through, so I will have to wait until 11.1 is released for Windows.

2) Not all developers (myself included) actually use Mac OS X to sync their iPhone.

Technically iOS 7 should be used on development devices only. It being beta and all.

TON of ringtones

But you have a functioning phone running iOS 7 upgraded through Windows on 11.0.5?

Thank you

I have ios 7 beta, would i not be able to download/upgrade?

 

[jtfolden]

question is if it also works for non dev's like all previous betas?

The GM is the public release just as you will see on new devices...

I really don't care!

I pay to use it on my device, and there's nothing against doing it in the Apple Developer Agreement.

 

[Mrg02d]

Why are people asking about Windows? This is for iOS developers. You can't develop for iOS without XCode which is Mac only.

Give it up already...thousands are going to install this ahead of public release.

 

[matttye]

TON of ringtones

Does it still have the old ones?

 

[bbeagle]

Two reasons:

1) Apple targets the iOS beta at enterprise users where Windows is the dominant platform.

Apple targets the iOS beta to iOS DEVELOPERS, not enterprise USERS. Where did you get that idea from?

2) Not all developers (myself included) actually use Mac OS X to sync their iPhone.

All developers must use Mac OS X to tether their phone to develop software, which is who the iOS betas are targeted for. If you've got a Windows PC as well, great. But, you need the MAC OS X box to sync for betas.

Once iOS is released officially, there will be an iTunes for Windows that can use it, but there is no reason before.

To be clear for those on windows:
YOU CANNOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP.
You will have a functioning phone with this GM however, you will not be able to restore from backup or use itunes in any fashion until 11.1 is released.
You will have to set your phone up as new when going to GM through the phone itself, rather than through iTunes.

GM isn't a beta.

 

[KattDaDon]

There's new ringtones and at the bottom theres a list name classic with all the old ringtones from before

 

[WhackyNinja]

New wallpapers!!!

 

[aardwolf]

I just "Updated" my iOS 7 beta device to the GM using iTunes (production, not beta) with no issues. I was not offered the option to download iWork for free.

Yes, I'm a paid developer, and no, I won't give you a link.

 

[TheBigKing]

no it's not a beta

because that guy wants to feel special and elite, it's a character flaw shared by many on these forums.
