I never say I could install iOS without Xcode, I thought the Xcode version was not up to date on windows. Anyway I installed ios 10.3 on my iphone with windows and it worked !
Got a tip for us?

iOS 10.3 Beta 1

Because of APFS, which is a major transition, they're probably wanting to wait a while to see if there's anything wrong with it.
macOS Sierra had APFS since 10.12.0, but at beta capacity.
As other folks have pointed out, it cannot be used for startup volume like iOS 10.3 beta 1 can. And there are several other restrictions and compatibility issues.
Most significantly, Apple has been tinkering with APFS since 10.12.0. For instance, you cannot mount APFS volume from 10.12.0 or 10.12.1 with 10.12.2 and later.
And as of macOS 10.2.3, there's no way to do in-place conversion of HPFS to APFS.
iOS 10.3 beta 1 is using APFS for a startup volume AND is doing in-place conversion to APFS. So the only significant remaining issue for enabling APFS for macOS is (1) compatibility issue with some apps (case sensitive file system), (2) Time Machine support, (3) FileVault (should be mostly front-end and conversion work since APFS already has superior encryption), and (4) Fusion drive compatibility.
Anyone have strange device info in the iCloud section in devices area? My main iPhone is showing as "iPhone" not the name it is and the phone number is skewed weird. Also reporting iOS 9.3.3 as the iOS version on that device. Find my phone and iCloud devices all are appearing correct. Just appears this way on iPad with 10.3 b1. The other devices in the list are all correct. Have rebooted and signed out and back into iCloud with no change.
[Edit] The device in question is incorrect in manage AppleID even via web. So somethings up with that not necessarily the beta I guess. Weird that iCloud>settings show the devices correctly. Only AppleID device management is where its incorrect.
[Edit 2] It was resolved by removing that device from appleID and adding it back

Okay but i see many lags when i scroll in the phone data menu its not an app
Its beta 1. There are going to be hiccups. Especially with the new file system.
It registers, it just somehow freezes for a moment and then goes to the home screen.
No wifi calling yet but three have said on twitter a new carrier update this Friday will be released
What deadline? Do you work for Apple and know their roadmap?
Well that sucks. I just had to go and reboot my iPhone 7+, and now that liquid smooth, perfect silky scrolling that I'd had since I updated to the beta yesterday is gone. It's back to the stutteriness just like before.
I wonder what happened... Some fix that was applied post-update but didn't survive the reboot?
This makes me quite sad.

LOL. It's like no Theatre Mode for iOS. Everyone is getting in a hissy fit over it even though they never promised such a thing. Just leave him be.
Yes i Know !
I have zero scrolling lag on 10.2.1 with my 7+ in the cellular data menu. I use to have it on 9.3.5 on my 6s tho.
You won't be able to restore since Apple has officially introduced Apple File System which a new system once you updated your iPhone with iOS 10.3 Beta it automatically transfer all your files from you device to the new Apple File System which you won't be able to restore to a previous update.
what bugs I havent found any bugs on iOS 10.3 Beta 1 so far so good from a beta 1 from a actual major update
