Apple Releases iOS 5 Beta 5 and iTunes 10.5 Beta 5 to Developers
Two weeks after releasing iOS 5 Beta 4, Apple has now pushed a fifth beta out to developers. You can grab iOS 5 Beta 5 with your registered developer account in the Dev Center, and the update can also be received as an over-the-air update on a device running iOS 5 Beta 4.
If you’re wondering about what’s new in Beta 5, the answer is not much. It is worth noting that, in order to perform an OTA update to iOS 5 Beta 5, you will need to have backed up your device through iCloud.
Apple recommends that you delete everything on your device before upgrading to Beta 5, so make sure you head to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content in your Settings app. Then you can vist Settings > General > Software Update to get your OTA update for Beta 5. You can also backup traditionally in iTunes before you perform a manual upgrade, but you’ll need to upgrade to the newly released iTunes 10.5 Beta 5 to sync a device running iOS 5 Beta 5.
