Apple Seeds iOS 6.1 Beta 5 to Developers

[Ryan Burgess]

So. Conspiracy time.

Do you think Apple labelled this a beta to try and entice the exploits the JB community have found thus far out of hiding?

I think that's exactly what apple is doing

Lte issue? I have no issues on my iPhone with lte.

European lte...

I think Apple messed up and released it as a beta, when it should be a GM. I bet that come tomorrow morning or Monday morning, Apple will fix it and change it to GM and post the release notes.

Makes the most sense...

I've been bummed out by Apple's software releases as of late. Am I the only one that feels they're focusing too heavily on their hardware and the software development is taking a back seat. I'm speaking in regards to patching their current apps and OS.

Lion was the first sign of Apple's decline in software quality control. iOS is now suffering the same lack of quality control and consistency.

Sooooo ... no Mountain Lion dock then? lol

Would this explain 1. Why the release notes have not been updated to mention "5" and why I get 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build' when I have updated the same devices before with no issues? I noticed this latest release is only a restore file, where with the previous downloads the DMG expanded to a PKG file then extracted the DMG.

Can this be released already? All I want is the Jailbreak...

gotta wait till public gm 6.1 is out...

Check your hosts file.

Nope.

 

[ArmCortexA8]

Check your hosts file.

----------

Hosts file is fine and never had to modify it before this build, never had an previous issues. I even registered my devices via the ID on the Developer site.

Nope.

Well that's a let down

Weird. Start a thread in the Apple Developer Forums

 

[avanpelt]

I think people are more upset that there are ZERO new features. iOS 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 5.1 all brought some new features. It would be nice if there was at least one new feature.

You mean buying movie tickets with Siri doesn't count?

 

[kockgunner]

Apple needs to stop releasing "tentpole" features once a year. One a year is plenty of time for people consider other phones. This is especially true when their major releases aren't that major in the first place. If they increase more useful features in less time, it would give their products much more perceived value and make Apple seem more nimble like Google.

 

[djtech42]

You mean there's an OTA update available?

I'm not an iOS developer so I don't know if it is or not. I misinterpreted you and thought that you were saying it is available for this build, but never for GMs.

Check your hosts file.

Nope.

Everybody in this thread should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and tell Apple to add the Mountain Lion dock. This is getting ridiculous. I thought they were maybe just waiting for later betas.

 

[ogrady]

No ota update

OTA does not seem to work from BETA 4?

Is everyone else not able to update OTA

I have iOS 6.1b4 installed on my iPhone 5 and can confirm that the iOS6.1b5 update did NOT appear in the OTA settings.

Anyone else?

Does this lend credence to the GM theories?

 

[AlphaDogg]

Yep.

 

[dogKman822]

Disappointed yet again. I know x.1 updates usually aren't that big but there hasn't been any major updates since IOS 5.

I wish I could tell you guys what Apple Developer forums is telling me but the red banner scares me...

 

[Am3r1ca16]

Am i the only one that doesn't want the ML dock? i actually like the current transparent dock better.

inb4 haters
