A week after releasing the fourth beta of the mobile OS, Apple launched iOS 7 Beta 5 and is now available to developers who have installed the pre-release software on their devices. As Apple has devoted to a wide public release of iOS 7 this fall, the software is probably approaching its final stable launch state.
Fixing bugs around the major updates which includes performance enhancements, and Beta 5, with a new design for lock screen were the reason for the last two updates. They included the new design for the lock screen because the arrows pointing where to swipe to pull down notifications, and visual signs about what to do to unlock the device attest confusion to some users. And that is one of the most remarkable changes to Apple’s mobile OS flaunted during the beta testing period, showing that Apple pay attention to what the users suggest and complain.
Other than the icons changed in Settings, this launch emerges to include bug fixes, which is commonly the problem as we begin to get hold of the final version of shipping software. Release notes from tipster says, “Fixes include addressing a problem around iPhone 4 devices not being able to download App store content, as well as adding Voice Memos to the types of content restored when restoring from an iCloud backup. Also, new is the ability to turn off Control Center within apps, which could help with the accidentally calling it up when playing games and using other software that requires a lot of swiping up from the bottom.”
Don’t be flabbergasted if there are still a lot of weekly updates or launches of the new beta, probably thrusting the most awaited major release of Apple’s mobile OS. This is no minor change to OS because a lot of polishing is to be anticipated before making it readily available to consumers.
