iOS 5.1 Beta RELEASED To Developers! GO AND GET IT!

PhilSynowiec · Nov 28, 2011

iOS 5.1 Beta 1 was just seeded to developers by Apple. This means if you have a developer's account, you can now download the first beta of iOS 5.1. However, there aren't any new features found yet other than some bug fixes listed by Apple. As the days go on, more secrets of iOS 5.1 will be discovered. Remember, if you are planning to Jailbreak iOS 5.0, DO NOT UPDATE to iOS 5.1 unless you want it tethered.

Let us know in the comments section if you find anything new!

I was surprised they skipped 5.0.2 but cant wait to see what 5.1 will bring... it wont be long now I bet

5.0.2 could still be delivered, depending on how long then plan for the 5.1 beta.

Gregoris · Nov 29, 2011

I could be wrong but I dont see that happening... apple only did it last time because of the vulnerability found in the firmware that was used on jailbreakme.com was so huge apple could not just ignore it so we saw 4.3.5 and verizons .10 so unless another vulnerability like that one is found I dont see another fw being released in the beta 5.1 stages especially as there wont be many betas.. 2 -3 at most.

I DL 5.1 Beta 1 from a source not gonna mention. Need to activate my UDID. Could someone PM me if there is a bypass method. Thanks

I need someone to help me with bypassing the UDID before I can install.

Question to you developers; what is the scope of your development? Do you just test apps you have written or is this just alpha/beta testing of the os update? Also does Apple query you for tweaks and os enhancements?
Lastly how much weight does the use comments hold? Like the ongoing complaint about the iTunes interface (at least for me)

So we know when the update will be released to the public?

No improvements at all bud. Honestly it was a waste of time. I have the iPhone 4S AND I have can't get Siri to tell me the weather. It's gotten worse. Battery is still bad.

How is battery life bad? Mine is great. Have it on for fifteen hours and eight hours usage time. That is insane. I came for
A droid so this battery is stunning.

Don't update bud. Got a lot of bugs. With in 4 days of use all of a sudden all my apps went away. Just like that. No idea what happened. So I restored my phone and set up has new using iOS 5.1 and 4 days later it did the same thing.
