How to Upgrade to iOS 7 Right Now Updated 2013 | New
After several betas, the software is rdy for prime time, and since iOS 6 was shrouded in controversy thanks to the dire state of the Maps app — something that forced CEO Tim Cook into a public apology — will be hoping the latest and grtest version relses without so much as a hitch.
As well as the aesthetic overhaul, iOS 7 brings a plethora of new and exciting ftures. Among them is the Control Center, allowing users to rdily toggle core functionality like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth without having to consult the settings app.
Although iOS 7 won't see an official relse until September 18th, you can install the final version right now even if you're not a developer thanks to some anonymous public postings of the software update files.PNote: We updated a few iDevices using these files and encounterednoissues, but because we're unable to verify every single one we can't say for certain that problems won't arise. This is the GM relse—the same one that will get relsed to the world next week—so it should work just the same, but there's always a chance you could run into an issue. Plse be aware that there's some risk involved before you upgrade.
