Is it bad to get iOS 7 before it comes out?

I have an iPhone 4S that was previously running on iOS 6.1.4. I know that iOS is currently only available for developers or someone with a UDID but I just got the link and downloaded the latest beta. Is this illegal? If so will I get in trouble? I'm really loving iOS 7 but I'm extremely worried something bad will happen, please help.

You won't get in trouble as it's not illegal, but keep in mind, don't be one of those people who complain to app developers that their app doesn't work on iOS7. I currently run IOS7 and I'm not a developer. It works somewhat smoothly but I don't recommend getting it before its release due to instability.

Yes it is illegal. The person you have got it from has no legal right to distribute it. You accepted it knowing that it is only available to developers for testing. You have no idea where it has come from or what was included with the downloaded file, such as malware/spyware etc., in which case something bad is probably already happening.

That you have asked this so many times would suggest you already know what the answer is.

It MAY not be stable… Meaby not all apps work and MEABY you phone will become a brick(unusable literally) matter on apple and build(for OS)

make sure the OS (ios) is the one for your phone

Wait for the release

I would wait

It's not safe to install iOS 7 unless your register your device's UDID with a developer account through a site like http://www.udid.in/.It's $5, and then you can install it legally without worrying about Apple disabling your device for running unreleased software.
