The third beta of iOS 7 has been released by Apple for supported iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. The beta is expected to include many bug fixes and improvements, and further pushes iOS 7 to it’s anticipated public release later this year.
Download iOS 7 Beta 3 from OTA
Those running iOS 7 beta 2 can download the new beta directly from Over-The-Air updates:
- From Settings, visit “General” then go to “Software Update” to find the new version
Tapping “Download and Install” begins the update process. OTA update remains the easiest way to get the latest beta versions of iOS 7, as the update arrives in delta format making it a smaller download that is then installed directly on the device.
Installing through Software Update can sometimes hang for a while on the “Preparing Update…” stage, so don’t be surprised if it takes much longer to prepare the update than it does to download. The iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will reboot itself when the update is completed.
