Updated by Boey Wong / January 05, 2021 09:55Apple's iOS 7 makes its debut today, and many iOS device users are planning to get their hands to this massively overhauled operating system.
Before you upgrade or jailbreak your iOS devices like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, don't forget to backup your iOS data from loss because you never know what will happen when upgrading or jailbreaking your device.
For example, upgrading to an old iOS version may result in deletion of all multimedia tracks as well as pictures in the Camera Roll.
Guide List
Although Apple claims that their beta testers have been putting iOS 7 through its paces for months, but better safe than sorry. If you are intending to turn your devices into iOS 7, be sure to copy all your files from loss.
