Can a beta software make your idevice unusable ?! And after it u can never use it again? Or it's only trolling from unknown people....?Because millions of people are using beta atm and if they loose their devices apple will loose costumers.So what is the point of that ?
Tnx
 
Man answer me why people report dead iphones dead after beta use or they troll? That's my question!
 
Wasn't the question pretty much answered in that previous thread?
 
It' not about my phone , it's objective question, there are million users on ios 7 beta,so i want a good answer why they troll couse i think software can destroy an iphone like they say...

No. Basically there is always a way back generally with DFU mode. People that report unusable devices are just non-debs (or so I hope) that have no idea what they are doing. Generally a quick google search can get you out of just about any iPhone situation... NEVER underestimate Google!

It can't make your phone unusable for good. It can just cause a massive headache. Now please leave this topic alone.

Simple answer: Yes, any beta software can render your device unusable. However the key here is the definition of unusable. In nearly all cases where the device becomes unusable while running a beta, simply force the device into DFU and install the latest iOS release. Will your phone be rendered totally useless by a beta? Highly unlikely, unless you have physically monkeyed with the hardware.

"millions of people using beta"? Really? Where did you get that number, or are you simply padding your estimate to make it more impressive? Only developers are currently authorized to use an iOS beta, and they should know how to restore their devices if the beta takes a dump and bricks their device. If you aren't a developer, one of those "millions" to which you refer, then Apple has no responsibility for your device since you made the decision to install the beta on the device even though Apple has told you time and time again NOT to.
