Apple Seeds Fourth Betas of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released the third betas.

Registered developers are able to opt into the betas by opening up the Settings app, going to the Software Update section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.

Most of the features that Apple promised would be coming in iOS 17 have now been released, but iOS 17.5 adds additional app ecosystem changes in the European Union. App developers can offer apps for download on the iPhone directly from their websites, in addition to through app marketplaces.

There are also code changes that hint at new Apple Pencils and a Battery Health feature for the iPad, with more information on what's new available in our iOS 17.5 beta features post.

Phone case is definitely snappier with this update.

Does that mean ipad OS 15 already supports non WebKit browsers ??

Ok no I misread, it says ios17.5, not ipadOS

 

[mngdew]

Siri is snappier

 

[scouser75]

Reminders still not syncing between phone and mac!

 

[Jay Bly]

three hours with it. Seems about the same. Battery life may be slightly better.

Buddy, how many times can you make this same joke and think it is funny? What, 10 years now, maybe 15? This isn't the crack up joke you think it is.

Three hours ain’t enough

Fixed the error on my phone that said accessory not supported when hooking up to my CarPlay deck. Was wireless but use wire for charging.

It's ok. No need to fess up. I still cracked up, even if it's 10 or 15 years later. The same goes for the "your mom" joke. It never gets old.

 

[Alameda]

I’ve had many issues with the Files App on my iPad. I hope this update clears that up.

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I wonder if this means they’ll do incremental updates leading up to this, like 17.4.2/3/4..?

 

[jbachandouris]

My phone heating up and refusing to charge because of it. Only running Maps. Anyone else? 15 Pro Max.

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I wonder if this would be released this week after today’s announcement..? Anyone else know?
