If you can’t wait for the fall 2012 iOS 6 release date, you can download iOS 6 and install it on the iPhone 4s, iPhone 4 and iPad right now.
Apple only makes the iOS 6 Beta available to developers, but if you aren’t willing to plunk down the $99 for a Developer License you can still get the iOS 6 beta for $7.

The process is easy to follow, but keep in mind this is beta software so not every app will work with iOS 6 and your iPhone might behave badly.
Where to Get iOS 6 Beta Access
Visit IMZDL to register for the iOS 6 beta.
Before you can install the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone or iPad you will need to register your device with a developer account. My favorite site to do this is IMZDL, which offers UDID registrations for the iOS 6 Beta for $7 with a 24 hour turnaround.
If you can’t wait, you can register your iPhone or iPad UDID with IMZDL for $8 and have access within 2 minutes.
The free UDID Sender app will email your iPhone or iPad UDID to you for easier registration.
IMZDL is under tremendous load, so you may need to try several times to load the pages. The download links should be live soon.
How to Install the iOS 6 Beta on the iPhone 4S or iPad?
Installing the iOS 6 Beta on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 or iPad is straightforward, but will take some time as you will need to back up your iPhone and then restore from a backup.
1. Register your UDID with IMZDL
2. Connect your iPhone to the computer and perform a backup with iTunes.
3. Download iTunes 10.6.3 from Apple. Install the new version of iTunes.
4. Backup your iPhone or iPad again with the new version of iTunes.
5. Download the iOS 6 Beta for your iPhone or iPad from IMZDL. This could take some time, so be patient.
6. Open iTunes and upgrade to the iOS 6 Beta by choosing Restore.
- Be sure to hold alt/option on Mac when you click Restore.
- On Windows, hold Shift when you click Restore.
7. Find the .ipsw file you downloaded.
8. When the installation completes choose the most recent backup to re-install all your apps and contacts.
What Devices Work With iOS 6?
The new iOS 6 beta is compatible with many of the latest Apple iPhones and iPads, but it will not run on the original iPad.
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPad 2
- New iPad (3rd generation)
- iPod 4th Generation
Some devices may not be able to use all features of the new iOS 6 beta.
iOS 6 Beta Warnings
Officially Apple says there is no way to downgrade from the beta back to iOS 5.1.1, but because Apple still signs iOS 5.1.1 you should be able to downgrade if things go bad. If this is a big deal, wait a few days to make sure this is a possibility.
You will need to use a computer to upgrade to iOS 6. There is currently no over-the-air update available, so grab your cord and a computer.
This is a beta. Things may not work s you normally expect them too and some apps may not work at all. Keep this in mind before you try out iOS 6. Don’t leave negative app reviews if apps don’t work. This preview is in place for developers to make their apps work with iOS 6, not for the average user.
Make sure you backup before you try any of this.

Hey dudes
Just put your devices in recovery mode and restore to ios5 am a registered in the developer program and it didnt work for me, dont get scammed by these people. Plus it illegal to do this if apple catch on to the person who is doing this (which is the person which your providing your udid’s to) they will disable his account and hence disabling all the registered device on that account and your left with a block… hope this helps.

I registered my udid at cheapios6.com and was registered in 5 min, downloaded the ipsw from IMZDL and did SHIFT+RESTORE and it updated perfectly on my iPhone 4… Don’t listen to anyone saying it won’t work or getting ripped off, because it does work, I’m proof, 100% working fine!!!! (and no I don’t work for any of these sites)
does siri work on it?
which itunes version did you use? beta or the regular one?
According to Apple, iTunes 10.6.3 is enough for to upgrade to iOS6
From the time you made your purchase how long did you wait before it was actually registered?

Plz tell me ios 6 suport iphone 3GS
Instead of registering your UUID, you can just click option/shift + update and it doesn’t require a developer account. All of these sites telling you that you need to register a developer account, or pay for addition to one are scamming youQ
dont buy it! does not work one bit! throwing you money in a pond gives you the thril of water circles.
I just tried the download and it is not working It says that im not part of the deveolopment. What is the problem
I did 2 of my iPhones through this site and it works perfect. This is not a wast of money.
Its great that we can get the iOS6 beta on iPhone right now but still i will avoid it as i had a hard time with my iPhone when i installed iOS 5 beta.
If anyone wants access to iOS 6 Beta send me $10 to my paypal at anfinch@gmail.com and I will add your UUID
In the payment add your UUID and I will add it to the list. I have 90 openings.
Man you developers who are using this opportunity to bank are pathetic. Apple didn’t release this so you can make money. If your that broke try unemployment.I’m so disappointed with this and I own AN ANDROID. Just making all the other developers who are legit look terrible.
Experience iOS 6 now on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for just $ 4.99 on iOS-UDID.com
Is it illegal to get your udid registered by a developer an is it illegal to get the iOS6 beta?
You could certainly see your skills in the paintings you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart.
