How to download iOS 7 Beta 6

iOS 7 beta 6 download was seeded about a week or so ago, and is currently the latest available beta version of the next generation iPhone, iPod touch and iPad operating system that has been seeded to Apple’s registered developers. Despite some sources claiming that a beta 7 might also get to see light of the day, it seems unlikely at this point, as neither is there enough time nor much need for that.

iOS 7 beta 6 was made available to users through both an OTA update as well as being seeded through the Apple Developer portal. The OTA update was the smallest in all of iOS 7 betas released, weighing in at a mere 13 MB and containing nothing except an emergency bug fix that prevented iTunes purchases from showing up on multiple devices registered with the same Apple ID. It didn’t carry any performance improvements whatsoever, either, and was merely a bug fixing release.

Official channels of distribution for iOS 7 betas, including version 6, remain the Apple Developer portal, where it’s available for registered users. The official direct download links of iOS 7 beta 6 for all supported devices are provided below, which can only be utilized if you are registered on the Developer Portal and have your device’s UDID registered:

iOS 7 is the most dynamic change to the operating system’s interface since the original iPhone was released back in 2007, and there’s a lot counting on it. Overall feedback so far has been mixed, but it will be only when the OS is publically accessible that we’ll be able to have a final verdict. Until then, let’s keep counting days till September 10!
