Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS and iPadOS 13.4.5 to Developers

[clayj]

Speculation: The ".5" is an indicator that they are planning for this to be the final release before iOS 14 ships. iOS 9.x ended with 9.3.5.

That's very reasonable. They can do 5 betas, one every 2 weeks, until WWDC. After that they will move to iOS 14 betas.

Here’s to hoping for Series 2 Xbox Elite Controller support... 🤞🏼

Any word?

Is there precedent for Apple releasing a beta of an iOS version that skips ahead in numbers and later releasing a version numbered in between? e.g., from X.X.0 to X.X.3 in beta, while later releasing X.X.1 to the public)

Yes. At one point they even had two sets of betas going at the same time, and it was a real pain.

9to5mac says code found in 13.4.5 refers to a new model that appears to be the rumored iPhone 9/SE2.

Maybe iOS 13.4.5 is what Apple plans to release when it announces the new 9/SE2, rumored to be coming in the next two weeks.

Not that I’ve seen so far

Hopefully it will help with battery life. 13.4 has dropped measurably and it does get warmer to the touch. Not hot, just warmer. Also, it reloads apps much more frequently. For example, if I open Safari after some time, it will open a blank page and say error with the page and it needs to reload.

I've STILL not updated to iOS "13.anything" because of these issues. I thought that app reloading/multitasking bug was supposed to have been FIXED several updates ago!

When will I get a public beta to report bugs
