But as a general user, you couldn’t resist the temptation when read the news about iOS 8 like “Bug Fixes and Enhancements in Apple iOS 8” that you even upgraded iOS 8 beta version on your iPhone or iPad without a developer account. However, what I want to tell in this article is, please don’t update iOS 8 yet. Let me explain why.

Reason 1: Beta Version Usually Means Instable

Developers are more likely act as tester of iOS 8. Every time iOS 8 update will along with bug fix, and some of these bugs are found in the use of previous version. This is a bad experience if the system is not stable. Are you willing to take on part of test?

Even worse, you can’t restore data from previous iOS 7 backup if you use iTunes to backup files. Therefore, you should backup iPhone data before update iOS 8 with a third-party tool like iAny Manager.
