Shortly after Apple showcased the exciting capabilities of the revamped iOS 7, the beta build was immediately released for download and testing by millions of iPhone and iPad owners.

While trying out new things always offer some thrill, beta testing is not exactly for the faint of heart, as experts would say. The same goes for the incomplete iOS 7, which affords glimpses of the new Apple environment.

However, such privilege come with complications and uninitiated users will belatedly realise that adopting in advance a new system is not always in a walk in the park.

Avoid the unnecessary headaches by keeping in mind these three reasons to skip out the iOS 7 beta.

Bugs galore in beta releases

Softwares generally come with potential errors and even the final builds are not spared from these hiccups. But this fact is ever more applicable for operating systems on beta stage, which essentially means work remains in progress.

The door for bugs to come in is wide open for iOS 7 beta and even Apple would not argue with that. For the bolder iOS device owners, they expect unexplained shutdowns and inability to connect with Wi-Fi networks or even security vulnerability. These are normally resolved by dispatches but for the average owners such predicament is a giant headache, wholly preventable by sticking for now with the older but more stable iOS 6.xx.

Compatibility issues

New codes, implementations and standards are packaged with fresh platforms. While Apple works hard to ensure that the system will smoothly accommodate existing applications, incompatibilities will likely arise. This is especially true for apps coming from third-party developers, which for many iPhone and iPad users are indispensable parts of their regular device usage.

If the itch is too strong to resist the early upgrade lure, wait out for a few more weeks at least. That should give ample time for non-Apple app developers to re-code their products to the new iOS 7 standards.

The upgrade-rollback dilemma

To jump or not to jump is usually answered by the prospect of a breezy downgrade process, which experts said is not impossible but eats up a lot of time. When beta presented overwhelming issues, the normal route would be to revert back to the old mobile OS.

Again, this is a maze of a procedure that is completely avoidable had iPhone and iPad opted to maintain the status quo. Besides dodging the unseen headaches, staying away from iOS 7 at the moment means not getting a cake that is yet to get the all important flavour and icing.
