Apple has just rolled out the fifth Beta iteration of iOS 7 (with build number 11A4449A) for developers via its Developer Program. Contrary to earlier expectations that iOS 7 Beta 5 would arrive on 12 August in line with the release pattern, the company has released the new firmware update in just about a week's time following the iOS 7 Beta 4 release on 29 July.

iOS 7 Beta 5 is now available for download and installation via Over-The-Air (OTA) update as well as through iOS Dev Center. The OTA update is reportedly supported for the following iOS devices:

  • iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4
  • iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2 and iPad mini
  • iPod touch 5G
