Here’s the new iOS 7 Beta 5, Apple released for developers a week ago. iOS 7 Beta 5 was released one week before the expected date of release. It seems that Apple Is trying to be back on track as the release of iOS 7 Beta 4 was late due to security reasons in Apple Dev Centre.
According to the sources, iOS 7 Beta 5 is the 2nd last Beta release of Apple. Apple is planning to release a new beta version i.e. iOS 7 Beta 6 in coming days. The full fledge release of iOS 7 and iPhone 5S is expected in coming September, most possibly on 10th of the month.
Like the previous beta, the new iOS 7 Beta 5 also offers some enhancements and tweaks. These tweaks make the iOS 7 polished and faster. Here is the list of minor modifications made in the iOS 7 Beta 5:
Enabling/Disabling Control Centre functions:
iOS 7 Beta 5 allows you to configure Control Centre functions. It allows you to turn ON or OFF the Control Centre functions while you are playing Games or using Apps.
