Apple has recently launched a revised version of iOS 17.4.1, just a few weeks after making iOS 17.4 available to the general public. The latest update, iOS 17.4, includes significant changes aimed at improving the App Store and assisting developers. While it is customary for Apple to promptly release a beta version after introducing a new iOS update, the company has not made any announcements this time. However, we now have details on when the iOS 17.5 beta update can be expected for developers.
Rumored Release Date for iOS 17.5 Beta 1 for Developers
As previously stated, Apple typically releases a beta version of its upcoming update following the release of the final iOS build to the public. Approximately one week after the new firmware is released, Apple stops signing the previous build, making it impossible for users to downgrade to the previous version of iOS. On March 5, the company released iOS 17.4, and it has now been three weeks since the first beta of iOS 17.5 was made available by Apple.
Despite typically adhering to its established iOS update schedule, Apple is currently falling behind and experiencing infrequent delays. This is likely due to the company’s focus on developing the new build and preparing features for the upcoming major release. Our assumption is that Apple is currently occupied with the iPhone’s iOS 17.4 update, which has brought about significant and debated changes for developers and the App Store.
Apple has launched iOS 17.4 in the EU, which now permits users to install apps on their iPhones from external sources outside the App Store. This update also enables users to add third-party app stores to their devices. It appears that the company is continuing to address any potential loopholes in accordance with EU regulations.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is expected to finish the development of iOS 17.5 beta 1 by next week, indicating a high possibility of the build being released during the same week. However, the company may choose to release the update at a later date, whenever it deems fit. As the build has already been delayed by over three weeks, we anticipate its arrival next week. We will keep you informed when the beta update is made available for testing by developers.
