August 4, 2014
Apple has pushed out iOS 8 beta 5 to developers. The update is available for download over-the-air (OTA) and on Apple’s developer page. The beta arrives two weeks after the last update was released.
On July 23, BGR said that Apple planned to release iOS 8 beta 5 today. At the time, they also said iOS 8 beta 6 would arrive on August 15, followed by the release of the GM, or final version, a few weeks later.
In 2013, iOS 7 beta 5 arrived just eight days after the previous version. A year earlier, there was no iOS 6 beta 5. Instead, it took Apple 37 days to release the iOS 6 gold master (GM) edition, following the arrival of iOS 6 beta 4. In 2011, it took Apple 15 days to release iOS 5 beta 5. That year, there were seven iOS betas released, making it the longest development process in the history of the mobile operating system.On Monday, Apple has also released OS X Yosemite developer preview 5.
We’ll be discussing both updates in the coming days.
