Hey, I am on Beta 4 since Beta 5 removed all blurs on the iPad 2 and 3 and I hate the non-blur UI.

SO: I have a complete backup of my iOS 6.1.3 device and then updated to iOS 7 beta 4. Now I made another backup. Still, I create and edit content while using the beta so the 6.1.3 backup will soon be outdated.
As iOS 7 for iPad is rumored to be delayed by around one month including the GM I will not be able to update on Sept 11, one day before beta 4 expires and one day after release of GM. What am I supposed to do now? I could downgrade to iOS 6 but I would loose my iOS 7 created stuff. On the other hand, when having downgraded I will create/edit my stuff as well so restoring from the 7 backup when the final version is released also doesn't make sense.
Any help / advice is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tom

If you're approaching the expiration of beta 4 and the GM is nowhere in sight, I recommend you upgrade to beta 5 or 6 and just live without the blur for awhile. Maybe it'll be back in the GM.
 
Hm, yes that's an idea. Hadn't thought of this but if that keeps my data where it belongs - fine. Still hoping GM will come for iPad with iPhone version. And with blur.
