For those of you using Beta 5, is it stable enough for a daily driver?

You feel lucky?

I'd like to start using iOS 7 on my iphone 5, but it is my only registered Apple device. How many of you think it is stable enough to use as a daily driver? Before you ask, yes I am legally part of the developer program.

Sure … if you don't mind loosing all of your data and history in apps that maintain data and history. Some folks have had good luck and had no problems, but plenty of other people have. It is a beta after all, and not recommended for installation on a critical device; e.g. your primary device. I've got iOS 7 on 2 iPads. I have had to "Reset and Erase all contents" at least once on both. On one device I still cannot get one app that I use all of the time to even launch, even though it works fine on the other iPad.

So, it's your call as to whether you install a beta. Just be prepared to loose all of the content on your device. It might not happen … but being a beta, it may. "You feel lucky?"

I installed like at 3:14PM of today, it's 7:12PM and I think it's draining my battery. It was 100% when I installed, and without using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, now it has 68%, without using it constantly.


I do it by OTA. Anyone having same problem?

"Close" all your apps and/or restart just to be safe and see how it goes.

My iTunes crashes every time on startup since Beta 5 but most of the other crashes I'd experienced in Beta 4 seem to have gone.

If you did ota try downloading and updated to beta 5 that way. Happened to my husbands iPhone 5 and this worked for him.

I still don't trust my phone to drive my car for me, but maybe iOS 8 will help with that.

Kidding aside, yes, it's pretty stable. I still have issues with some apps not working properly, but that's to be expected.
