I've become to detest that word. It's used so many times in the incorrect way.
Precisely! Can you even brick anyways? Lol
Got a tip for us?

Are you using iOS 7 as a daily driver?

I wouldn't pay for a beta when you'll get the stable version for free soon.
There's always a chance you'll come across a horrific bug just when you need to use your phone.

It's by far the most stable release (and it should be!). I haven't experienced any crashes, app freezes and the camera app hasn't crashed once and it did this constantly in beta 2.
My 4S is much more responsive. The animations are more fluid and much quicker. There is no delay when typing in the keyboard. Multitasking us much much quicker and there is no lag switching between apps or closing them.
I'm having issues with my mobile signal since updating to beta 3. It is continuously jumping from 1 dot to 3 dots. I updated OTA instead of going for the clean install, so will have to go back and do a fresh install I think.
Just interested to see if anyone else is having this problem?

Point exactly. I have not heard of anyone bricking their iPhone in the true meaning of the word.
We've been merged. Order is restored.

I'm not suggeting paying for it. I've already got my developer license for some App work that I did (more reviewing someone else's and chiming in).
beta 3 is my first beta install of iOS 7 on my iPhone and i LOVE it. seriously no real complaints thus far even though its only been a day. battery seems to be okay but i'll have to keep an eye on that the next couple days.
had beta 2 on my ipad mini, which ran terribly. but beta 3 is a lot smoother. still more work needs to be done on the ipad side of things than the iphone i think.

Thought i'd bring this back up. Anyone change their mind from the previous betas? Anyone not vote yet?
I wouldn't trust a beta on my phone. Having a working phone is important compared to just an iPod/iPad. I also don't want to lose my jailbreak.
i think betas are all about luck. it seems there are all sorts of issues unique to certain setups. no consistency.
i am using ios 7 as a daily driver on my 4s. up until beta 3 i actually had a lot of lag, crashes, missed calls, multitasking issues, stuck black screen etc, but the newness of the os kept me on it. i was getting frustrated though.
but with beta 4 all seems great. really i think its pretty much perfect, apart from obviously apps that havent updated yet like skype messages bug. is smooth, no issues at all, no crashes.
only problem i have with beta 4, which is the only issue, is that my push notifications stopped working on whatsapp with beta 4. nothing i tried seems to fix it. again, its something specific to my setup since not a lot of people have this problem. so if it wasnt for this issue, id say it was as perfect as ios 6 for me.

Yay! And cheers right back at you from Virginia, in the U.S.A.
I'm running beta 5 on my GSM iPhone 5 (my daily driver). So far it's not doing too bad, just the booting bug, which is fixed by putting a passcode on the phone. Very stable for me and great battery life, though I am only using iOS 7 for a week just to try the new features. I won't reload it again until the GM.
No, beta 3 expires late August. Beta 4 expires September 12 so there is plenty of time to run that one as well.
Yup! It's my daily driver. It has been ever since Beta 1. I cant go back...Control Centre and the new UI....can never go back to iOS6.
I have pretty good battery life after tweaking settings.
