iPhone iOS 7 - Going abroad soon...

[arranjenks]

Okay so i'm considering updating to iOS7 beta tonight, but i'm going abroad for a week from July 7th and will have no access to the internet.

If i upgrade to the beta, and when im on holiday the beta 2 comes out, will my phone be unusable if i don't update?

Or do i have no choice but to update to beta 2?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Betas are used for developers to test apps.
I don't care or nor am I going to debate whether you being a developer is an important issue here or not.
But since you said you are going abroad, I'm sure using a STABLE version iOS beats having a version of iOS that has the potential to screw things up.

You are not going to test your iOS apps when you go on a holiday, right?
Therefore, stick to iOS 6.

Oh yeah, I think it is compulsory to update to beta 2 .

Yeah i see where you're coming from...
However i was going to start testing apps prior to going on holiday, but wasn't sure whether the beta updates were mandatory or not.
I think ill wait till after im back

thanks!

Ok Im sure you came on here for some simple advice, not innuendoes about whether or not have a developer account. 70% of the people here "testing" the beta as Callofduty puts it, are not developers. SOME PEOPLE!! Ok sorry I had to rant. Now on to the advice:

Whens your vacation? From what I hear iOS 7 betas update about every 2-3 weeks. If you have a developer account than you will receive the update no problem, whether it is OTA or not I have no idea and I dont think anyone does. It has before for different betas.

Good luck!

I'm not 100% sure, but normally iOS beta's come out every couple of weeks, so beta 2 would almost be certain to come out before you leave. Have fun by the way!!

Bad idea. Go on vacation. Enjoy. Come back and install beta 2.

It really doesn't hurt to be helpful and answer questions whenever you can

I am 100% sure my comments are not meant to be insulting to the OP.
I am sorry and I apologize if it sounds offensive to you. I'm just stating what I strongly feel.

I did not mean any harm to the OP. Perhaps I am wrong to add in the part about the developers part, I just wanted to state how I feel. If you still think I do, I would like to apologize for making u rant.

I depart little England for two weeks very soon. I plan on imaging my iPhone 5 back to iOS6 just for optimal battery life and to prevent any obscure, unseen, probably-wont-happen disasters that may charge me a fortune. But, hey, I'm paranoid

I will leave England tomorrow and away for 2 weeks. Not downgrading to iOS 6, am almost sure the second beta will surface sometime next week. So if the update is OTA that should make things easy.

I wouldn't want to travel abroad on such an unstable beta, but that's just me.

The answer to your question is this; iOS 7 expires on July 24th. If you are unable to update to beta 2 before that time, your phone will stop working.

You don't need to install beta 2 right away... Beta 1 will expire a while after beta 2 comes out.

Buy a second iPhone - problem solved


In case noone caught that... I was joking (for the benefit of all the Americans)
