How to Restore iPhone/iPad/iPod touch Data after iOS 7 Upgrade

With the all-new designs and all-new features, iOS 7 Beta has finally been released in late June this year. I believe lots of iOS users can’t wait to experience the all-new operation system. However, do you know that not all models of iOS devices can be upgraded to the new iOS 7. According to Apple’s list of the devices supported by iOS 7, most of the iOS devices are supported, like iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, The new iPad, iPad 4 (iPad with Retina display), iPad mini, and iPod Touch 5. While, when these devices have been upgraded, not all the new functions of iOS 7 can be used on them, it depends on different device models.
