reportedly beta 1 is not checking UDID, and you can manually downgrade to the last 6.1.3
You'd lose any jailbreak though.
I was able to downgrade back to 6 from a botched install of 7.

So using it on a 5, it's definitely slower than iOS 6. It does lag and it does freeze. I've even had it reboot 4 times on me. iRadio shows me ads even though I use iTunes Match. The music app has a hard time loading iTunes match data. Text in some apps does not show up. Some apps crash during certain functions.
On the positive side the interface, while ugly, is a LOT more thought out now. The back swipe alone is great. The UI is designed to maximize the amount of text/content visible on the screen.
I thought we were also told that the control central would be app context aware. It isn't currently in the browser at least. The new auto full screen in the browser is kind of clunky and laggy right now. Tab switching is a bit buggy and slow.
The multitasking cards are great but lag in the beta. Sometimes they freeze.
This was my experience of it so far. Maybe because I upgraded instead of set up as new. Is it the same for others? If not I'll try a clean install and iCloud restore.
I got it on an iPhone 4 and its pretty slow. Look wise, it's a hit and miss. Some things look stunning, others look childish or too clip art to me.
My biggest pet peeve is that the back button in the top left is no longer encapsulated so it looks like a web hyperlink. I think this was a bad design move. I want my buttons to look like buttons!
if you had ios6 on your 4 before, how does it compare as far as the speed of the ios goes? is it a lot laggier than ios6? because ios6 definitely hiccups for me a bit, compared to ios4 that i was on before.
I did an update on mine, and then restored from an iTunes backup. iPhone 5 on Sprint:

More as I think of it/come across it. All in all, I am liking the new OS and the direction that it is set in.
The mail app doesn't really seem any different except for the visual style. Everything is still in the same place.
For $99 you can register up to 100 devices. So they pay $100 for the account, charge $4-7 per device and profit a decent sum. Technically this against the Eula from my understanding but I know people that go this route and have no issues.

And it does check UDID. I installed it, it said my phone wasnt on a developer account. I added the phone. It worked fine.
Do you know the name of any of these resellers?
Thanks!
I imagine that as time passes Apple will be tweaking and optimizing code so that it winds up running smoother on lower spec'd hardware. Beta code typically has "bloat" in it due to lack of optimizations and debugging and whatnot.I've installed it on a iPhone 4S at work. At first, it seemed very sluggish, but the more I use it, the more it seems to be keeping up. I can still see some stuttering during visual transitions.
One thing that seems to be added that I'm pretty excited about, and had actually submitted feedback on, is that when you start a timer, the lock screen will give you a countdown. It's a little wonky right now, as the date overlays it and messes it up for a few seconds, but at least it's there.
It is not necessary to register your UDID.
1) Download firmware for your specific phone
2) Open iTunes.
3) Plug in your iDevice
4) In Windows, press SHIFT+CHECK FOR UPDATES (for Mac, press OPTION+CHECK FOR UPDATES) NOTE THAT THIS STEP IS CRITICAL. DO NOT SELECT RESTORE IPHONE OR YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE.
5) Select the ipsw.
6) Follow the prompts and enjoy iOS 7.

Seriously Jony Ive? *face palm*
No wonder the icons look crappy.
