Users should install the update on their devices immediately

It took them only a few hours, and Apple is now rolling out the Public Beta 5 update of its upcoming iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and tvOS 11 operating systems to public beta testers.

It's more than obvious now that Apple is trying to wrap things up and prepare to launch the final releases of the iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 operating systems to supported devices, and from what it looks it shouldn't take them more than a few weeks.

This means that the Beta program for iOS 11, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11 is almost over, as Apple doesn't release more than seven or eight Beta snapshots. Therefore, the final builds should be ready to hit the streets early September, along with the Xcode 9 IDE for application developers.

Public Beta testers are recommended to update their devices now

If you're running last week's Public Beta 4 build of iOS 11, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, or tvOS 11 on your registered devices, make sure that you update to today's Public Beta 5 release as soon as possible to receive all the latest bug fixes and improvements that Apple's engineers implemented so far.

We also believe that the Public Beta program is mature enough to be used by anyone who wants to get an early taste of Apple's forthcoming iOS 11, macOS High Sierra 10.13, or tvOS 11 operating systems, so don't hesitate to follow our in-depth tutorials here, here, and here if you want to jump on the Public Beta bandwagon.

Earlier today, Apple also seeded the Beta 6 milestone to registered developers with a paid and active Apple Developer subscription, and the Public Beta 5 update contains the same changes that application developers were able to enjoy already if they managed to install the new version on their devices. The next, and probably the last Betas are expected later this month.
