Over the weekend Apple released the fifth beta for iOS 6.1 to registered developers. It really didn’t come as a surprise since the previous beta was set to expire today, so we were all expecting something from Apple. iOS 6.1 beta 4 was seeded on December 17th, 2012.
Everyone has been expecting the final iOS 6.1 GM build to arrive any day now, but Apple is still obviously pushing out betas. When the GM version does come out for devs, then a public release is not far behind. iOS 6.1 runs on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and includes a number of enhancements for both users and developers
Whats interesting is the fact that in the past a beta version of iOS has never gone past 7 beta updates, this would set 6.1 for a beta 7 sometime around March, which coincidently just happens to be around the time that Apple usually holds a press event.
So if you have a developer account then head over to Apple.com and download the latest beta.
