Apple just seeded developers the sixth iOS 14.5 beta today, Wednesday, Mar. 31. The update comes eight days after Apple's last 14.5 update, which it released to both developers and public beta testers.
Apple released this update just past 10 a.m. PDT, the company's usual release time for developer updates. If you're a public beta tester, you won't see this update hit your iPhone at this time. Instead, you'll need to wait for Apple to release iOS 14.5 public beta 6, which we expect to see at 1 p.m. PDT today, or 10 a.m. PDT tomorrow.
We are somewhat surprised to see Apple releasing another beta. The rumors pointed to the company planning an imminent iOS 14.5 public release, which would require first seeding testers the 14.5 RC.
In iOS beta testing, the release candidate, formally known as the golden master, is the "final" version of a piece of software. Apple sends it to developers and beta testers first, to make sure there are no major issues that have gone overlooked. If there are, Apple will fix them, and seed an "RC 2."
Whenever Apple decides that an RC is free from enough significant issues, that version becomes the one that eventually goes out to the public.
iOS & iPadOS 14.5 beta 6 release notes coming soon.
How to Download & Install the Latest iOS 14.5 Beta on Your iPhone
You'll need an Apple developer account to update your iPhone. You can get the restore image from your dev portal, then install it with iTunes or Finder. Otherwise, install the configuration profile, then update by going to Settings –> General –> Software Update. Finally, you can simply wait for it to auto-install if you have a dev profile and "Automatic Updates" is enabled.
