This seems like a non-issue (only affecting users with beta versions of iOS 7) and a generally uninformed article:
> Apple seem to have pushed out an update that forces users to update to the current version of iOS 7
Previous betas have had expiration dates hard-coded into them. So the "update" that Apple "seem to have pushed out" is probably "the future".
EDIT: It seems like this is the first time an iOS beta has expired for some developers. Get a GM release and (command|shift) click [1] on "check for updates" in iTunes [2]. This is basically how you do non-OTA updates between different beta versions.
EDIT 2: The blog post has been updated and "Apple seem to have pushed out an update" no longer appears in the body text. I wonder why... [3]
[1] Some modifier key is the right one. I don't remember which.

- chucknelson 13y agoI love how basically every headline for this event makes no mention of expiring betas. This is not that exciting, but gotta get those clicks and make it seem like iOS 7 in general is crapping out across the globe.
- nonchalance 13y agoThe main reason I like HN is because of this: one of the first few comments, in pretty much any discussion, points out that the title is sensationalized (and gives a more levelheaded discussion)
- jasonlotito 13y agoI'd rather people just flag false articles like this so it gets removed.
