Apple is now seeding the fifth Beta of the upcoming iOS 10.3.3 bugfix and security update to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users running iOS 10.3.2 or a previous update from the iOS 10 series.

This Beta 5 update comes only one week after the fourth Beta build of iOS 10.3.3, and about ten days after the macOS Sierra 10.2.6 Beta 4, which can only mean the Apple is preparing to promote this final point release of the iOS 10 mobile operating system to the stable channel, for all supported devices.

It's clear that the Cupertino company wants to get rid of the Beta and Public Beta programs for its iOS 10 and macOS Sierra operating systems, especially now that it launched the first Public Beta of iOS 11, and they are currently preparing the first Public Beta builds of macOS High Sierra 10.13.

Public Beta 5 coming soon for iOS 10.3.3 and macOS 10.2.6

Developers that are interested in installing or updating their registered devices to today's iOS 10.3.3 Beta 5 (14G5057a) and macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Beta 5 (16G23a) can download the new builds via over-the-air updates on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, as well as by running the Sierra Developer Beta Access utility on their Macs, or directly from their Apple Developer accounts.

While the upcoming watchOS 3.2.3 and tvOS 10.2.2 operating systems remain in the Beta 4 stage, Apple also released today Safari Technology Preview 34 to add a few performance improvements and bug fixes. Minor security and bug fixes were also implemented in today's iOS 10.3.3 Beta 5 and macOS 10.2.6 Beta 5 updates.

However, Apple did not yet update the release notes for the new Beta builds, but we'll let you know if the situation changes.
