Apple Releases iOS 7 Beta 3 to Developers [Download]

Posted July 8, 2013 at 5:02pm by
Apple has just released iOS 7 beta 3 to developers for download. No word on any of the changes yet, however it will most likely include bug fixes and performances enhancements.

The firmware is currently available via Software Update and in the developer center as well. For the iPhone 5, the update is 214mb.


Last update brought back Voice Memos and support for the iPad

We will update you with any change we find, but if you see anything, please let us know in the comments below!

You can grab the update at the dev center here.

Update: The OTA update is safe for non-developers without a UDID using the 'update' trick.


Update 2: Here is our extensive list of all the changes we found in the latest beta.

Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for more information as it becomes available.

i got IOS 7 beta 3, having 6.1.3, opening iTunes with my phone connected, then i hit Check Updates i select IOS 7 beta 2 from 2 weeks ago downloaded and then i go to settings in my device and i hit software update and it start to download beta 3....my UUID is not registered, i am not developer, but i am curious so...i don`t think you need to pay as long you can do it by yourself, unless you don`t know what i am talking about! Cheers!

I'm using IOS 6.1.4 anybody can help me to update iOS 7 beta 3 ? Without having a developer account ??

I had beta 1 and 2 on my i4, slow, app crashes, and automatic carrier update that gave me bad reception. Also problems deleting old messages, and a few other problems. Needless to say, I dumped iOS 7 and put 6.1.3 back on and no problems whatsoever. Exploit for 6.1.3 is available thru the right channels now too, so I say screw iOS 7. Maybe once the public update is available I'll try once more but doubtful. And by the way, all you need to do to downgrade is DFU and let it run thru iTunes, no iOS download needed, whoever says you need it is incorrect.

Beta 3 ! Great fix from great Apple. iPhone 4 India updated smoothly via OTA. Just great polished beta with great bug fix. 75% better smoothness. Little bit more transparency for docs and notification and trust me a bit for keyboard too. Keyboard shortcuts are working from here. Better safari performance. Still apps crushing but its a lot better smoother than beta 2. Call apps are better than before after call disconnection. Multitasking works nice and speedy. Trust me it looks faster than before. Now sure about the battery though. Time will tell that. Cool !

OTA update works fine on iphone 4. But still crashes a lot. And still the control center is grey for iphone 4 damn! It looks ugly like that.

Beta 2 failed for me, do you think it's possible to go from IOS7 Beta 1 to beta 3?? (OTA) (Beta 2 is only displayed in sw update menu on the iPhone)

In iOS 7 beta their are actually more crashes tan before. But will not affect that much. One new feature I found its subtitle that allows you to put on any audio. That's one.

First thing I notices straight away was I had iMessage crash in me every time I tried to add a photo from the photo button... if I copied and pasted a photo it was fine but crashes every time when using the photo button.

Don't worry just update. Apple is secretly allowing everyone to update to iOS 7, because they want to users to use their software, so they learn some more from customers opinions. This news is private. I am only telling you gies to just don't you need to worry. Update to any software. More deals are also come soon more then 50% apps are going to be free from all companies in Apple App Store.
