iOS 8 was finally announced at the WWDC 2014, the final Apple developer conference. Even though the iOS 8 operating system will only be released by the fall of 2014, Apple has released a Developer Preview Beta edition of iOS 8 already and people with an Apple developer account worth $100 can easily update their Apple devices to the latest iOS 8 beta version software. Even if you do not have a developer account, you can still get the iOS 8 beta on your Apple devices through a different way.

One of the biggest disadvantages of this developer preview edition of iOS 8 is that, as it is a Beta release, it will surely contain a lot of bugs and issues, and not all officially announced features of iOS 8 will be present there. However, installing the iOS 8 beta edition is one of the best ways to experience what the overall iOS 8 effect will be.

If you have already installed the iOS 8 beta version software on your device, and if you cannot stand the bugs and issues that comes with the Beta version, you can easily solve the problem by reverting your device to the official iOS 7.1.1 operating system. And if you are in search of a perfect tutorial that can accomplish this task, then today we are here with a detailed tutorial on how to downgrade from iOS 8 beta to iOS 7.1.1 easily.
