Just curious why there weren't any release notes for Beta 5? Could this be because it's only a time extension to Beta 4 rather than any big fixes, changes etc?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds iOS 6.1 Beta 5 to Developers

I think the word is, there was a mistake seeding the beta. It was supposed to be a GM release, but it came out too early as a beta. (Which would explain the problems downloading/installing) something went wrong with apples servers.
No OTA update. Great, I am in the hospital and won't be able to update. When I get home am I going to have problems updating?
The only problems I am aware of now are with the iPod touch 5.

Well then what about maps???
Despite what others have said/reported, I haven't had any problems with maps at all. (Granted I don't use it very often) I do prefer the looks to google maps/ios 5 google maps.
Hence, "typically."You mean like maps
Let's just say I'm glad Forstall is gone and Ive is in charge.
I feel that iOS needs invigoration. I went so far as to use a Nexus 4... then realised just how good iOS is.
I think it is time
I think it is time to show them what we think....

Updated to 6.1b5 this morning on my Sprint iPhone 5. Had an issue where cellular would show connected, but I couldn't call or text and signal bars were jumping a bit. Did the ##Update# and that fixed my issue. Thought I'd share just in case anyone else had issues.
Beta 4 is due to expire in two or so days so your phone could end up unusable till you are out and able to update it.
Make sure you guys have your blobs all backed up!
Just found 6.1 beta 5, and not a developer. Apparently you don't need you UDID registered for this version. So I'm gonna give it a shot

I noticed that. The first update from 4.0 to 4.1 improved speed, update from iOS 5.0 to 5.1 increased speed and it will be the same on this update.
Argh. That home sharing artwork issue has been around forever and Apple refuses to fix it. It's been flaky for years. Ridiculous.
Has anyone else noticed that one thing that Apple did NOT Update is the Apple TV 2nd and 3rd Generation IOS Software which is still @ the December 17th Beta Release? Just FYI.
In English please.
Also, it looks like this beta can be installed by everyone even if not having an UDID. I'm holding on until this is certain.
I am downloading this 6.1 right now, let's see how it goes
Any chance I can jailbreak my 4S, using this Beta 6.1?

Sure, when they release the jailbreak, which the dev team has said won't be until after the public release of 6.1.
I'm not uploading any more ipsw's. I had the A1248 ipsw on my computer because I have an A1248 iPhone. I'm not going out of my way to download the others.
I am as puzzled as you are, I cannot get it to load it says "Device isn't eligible for the requested build"
