Some developers and regular users alike who have installed the beta of iOS 7, Apple's latest version of its mobile operating system, are reporting via Twitter that their iPhones are deactivating.
Apple has never officially opened up the iOS 7 beta test to nondevelopers, who have had to use workarounds to install the software. Some may wonder if the company is now catching up with those who have downloaded it through alternative means. Many people on Twitter are reporting that their beta has been deactivated and are now having to downgrade to iOS 6.It seems like some developers might have been caught in the dragnet as well.However, some reported that logging into his developer account and upgrading to the latest iOS 7 beta 6 fixed the issue.
The official iOS 7 is expected arrive on September 10. The company could be expiring previous versions of the iOS 7 beta prior to its release. Users that have not updated to the latest versions of iOS 7 beta are seeing their phones deactivate.
iOS updates are normally sent "over the air"—that is, wirelessly—straight to a user's device. Users can also update iOS by connecting their phones to their computers and downloading the newest version through iTunes.
