I just wanted to provide a heads up to anyone thinking about moving into iPhone Beta software, as I am sure you are backing up your iPhone, because you need to if you plan on bringing it in for repairs. Installing the Beta version of iOS can cause an issues with most repairs. As we all know Apple loves its serialization of all parts. Apple technicians like myself must configure and update the records for your iPhone post-repair, this process is blocked/interrupted if the customer is using Beta software, requiring a restore of the device to get back to the current iOS.

I know this won't apply to most people but I would hate to see someone lose data (again) because they didn't read the fine print or catch the warning about data loss and aren't prepared for it.

TL;DR Back up your iPhone before any repair if you have a beta iOS
