no you do not, i went from ios7 beta 6 to gm, used the update function through itunes

just out of curiosity, why are you all bothering now? You can have it legit in a few days?

i've had it since the first beta and that seemed worth it?

TriedandTested · 12 Sep 2013 at 21:56

I tried that and I get a message: "the iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is incompatible".

Any ideas? iTunes 11.1b48 too

Wish i'd left it. This is a pain.

Yeah, it's not really worth doing it now when it's only a few days away.

Is there any benefit to Restore rather than Update (As update worked so i could keep all my data) for iOS7 GM? And would it be benefit to do a fresh install of the "retail" version as to say when apple finally release it?

How do i check my iPhone model number? All i have on the back of the case is 'iPhone'.

Look at the small writing, it'll say.

TriedandTested · 12 Sep 2013 at 22:08

There is no small writing. ON the back of the phone yeah? Just 'iPhone'.

Robbo · 12 Sep 2013 at 22:09

Underneath where it says iPhone, there should be the model number on the right hand side, you said its an iPhone 5, yeah?

How odd!

Oops. I'm in very poor light here...it is there! It's teeny tiny.

Robbo · 12 Sep 2013 at 22:12

I thought it should be!

Lots of new ringtones/alerts (AT LAST!) and more static and dynamic backgrounds. Nice.

Because it's exactly what will be released next week, hence the GM and that I've done it every time since ios 3.

But still, I've not come across a single issue.

Still very, very impressed.

It's destroyed my iPad 2. General usage is a bit jerky but when it comes to entering ANY kind of text, even the unlock code, it takes multiple seconds for any input to be registered. I've had it time out on the lock screen when I try and unlock it and trying to type any email, message, web address etc is impossible.

I foresee an interesting visit to an Apple store very soon.

DFU Restore?

Worth a go...

What, revert back to iOS6? I like iOS7 and if it's supposed to work then it should be usable.
