How To Download iOS 7 Beta 3 For iPhone 5, 4S, 4, iPad mini, iPad, iPod touch 5

Here, we’re going to show you how you can get started with the new release whether you’re already rocking a previous beta or indeed just starting out from an official iOS release.

The interest in iOS 7 has been unprecedented, and this is largely attributable to the big changes Apple has made this time around.
