Hello,

my iPhone 6plus was recently stolen, so I bought a new iPhone 6s plus.

My stolen iPhone was using the 9.3 beta, and thus the iCloud backup was saved on this. When I go to my iCloud settings, I can see a 7gig backup saved from a few days ago.

However, when setting up my new iPhone 6s plus, it doesn't give me an option to restore from that backup.

So I figured it was because my new iPhone 6s is 9.2.1, and the backup was using 9.3

So I updated my new iPhone to 9.3 beta -but now what? If I try to restore my phone and retrieve my backup, it will revert back to 9.2.1

So in short: how can I restore my iPhone from the 9.3 beta backup?

Thanks!


EDIT:

Okay, found a fix.

Simply updated to 9.3 beta, then went and Erased All Content and Settings (I thought this would revert the iOS back to 9.2.1, but it did not). And that allowed me to restore from my backup.
