Official and public version is coming this fall with a ton of new features. Some of them requires lots of third party developer integration and that’s where software engineers are working on. Every beta release is intended to capture any bugs and bring user experience feedback for developer. This helps a lot in making great software for every idevice user.
Before you begin, make sure you have a paid Apple developer account. With free developer account you won’t be able to download any non Xcode betas.
That’s it! Your iPhone or iPad will reboot to install iOS 10 beta 3.

It’s a great news for all users having their idevices running on iOS 9.1. But bad news comes for users running iOS 9.2 and later, since Apple is no longer signing iOS 9.1 firmware.

SIM card can be cut for free in any mobile operator office, but there are situations when you must do it by yourself. And in this case, it is better to do it correctly, because otherwise it can be easily damaged and all the contacts stored in it will be lost.
Everything is simple if another Micro or Nano SIM is nearby, then it could be used as an example of the required size. If there is none, we really do not recommend to cut without seeing current dimensions.
Down below you’ll find a scheme, which will help to mark the appropriate size depending on the type of SIM card you need. It’s recommended to print whole scheme and put the card you want to cut on the center of the necessary dimensions. If there’s no printer around, then SIM can be placed directly on the tablet or laptop screen to mark required measurements. To the left there are docked examples of the Nano and Micro SIM cards. The main SIM chip is located in the center of the microscheme (scheme 4th step on the right), but it’s still not recommended to damage any of the SIM metal frame sides.

That’s where special software comes in to help you with this.

Having trouble with receiving one call in two different iPhones at the same time? You have no idea why is this happening?
We have all the answers. It’s because some users decides to have one and the same Apple ID on both iPhones. That’s why we suggest to use a different and unique Apple ID on one idevice. To turn of this function go to Settings/FaceTime/iPhone Cellular Calls/Off 
Just remember that turning of this call pairing function does not stop sharing same iCloud details like contacts, photos, videos and so on.
After lots of fake tools we tried and viruses we received looking for them, after tons of fake info founded on websites, we decided to make it clear for everybody.
Today there’s no way you can easily unlock iCloud locked iPhone or iPad. We say easily because we know only one and the most real method that works just for iPhone 4. We are thinking that this tutorial might work on other iPhones too, but we are not 100% sure about that because we didn’t had a chance to try it. Main idea of this tutorial is to use system files from same iPhone model by copying them to the locked one. There’s no info about what happens to that non locked iPhone.
Another trick is to use a crash file which is uploaded straight from server. Crash file acts like system security bug ant let’s you reach home screen. Main problem is that you can only see installed apps and if you tap on any of them screen freezes. So again you have to repeat all the steps to get back in to home screen. Just remember that result will be the same.
So if one day we’ll find a way to bypass iCloud lock, believe us.. We’ll be the first publishing that tutorial to our subscribers!
