iOS5 GM now available


Recommended Posts

It's because Apple website's is getting hammered right now and even their main site is getting 404s and Access Denied for pages advertising iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S, probably going to be pretty bad until later today or tomorrow.

I recall that previous GMs of iOS were installable on non-dev devices. Same true here?

Should be. The GM is "considered" the final release, as long as there are no critical bugs. The only exception being iOS4.0, which required a second release after the GM.

iTunes beta links are in the same article. As far as I know no UDID registration is required, unless this is different than other iOS GM builds.

I'm going to try this when I get home on my iPad.

Apparently you can use iTunes 10.5 Beta 7, 8, or 9 to install the GM.

Well they've both had 'tabbed' browsing, it's just that the iPad gets always visible tabs for fast switching. The iPhone tab interface is still the same as it always was I think.

Ah, I don't use an iPhone, you might have guessed, I assume it's the same sort of thing as Windows Phone, a button or menu option?

So will Beta 5 auto update over the air or does one need to download the DMG?

Need to perform a restore inside iTunes with the iOS GM, the betas wont automatically update to the final release.

Just updated my 3GS and iPad 2. Works great :)

Are you a dev? I am looking to update my iPhone and iPad but I am worried about needing to have UDID registered.
