10 Things to Know About the iOS 9.1 Beta

With the iOS 9.1 beta 5 now available and an iOS 9.1 release date on the horizon, we want to put the iOS 9.1 beta under the microscope and tell you about the most important things you need to know about the software in testing.

On September 9th, Apple confirmed an iOS 9.0 release date for September 16th. Two days later, the company confirmed its successor.

On September 11th, the company confirmed an iOS 9.1 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The company didn’t confirm its arrival with a major announcement. Instead, it confirmed the release with an iOS 9.1 beta.

The iOS 9.1 beta has been out since early September and we’ve seen it make a ton of progress as we push towards a public release. And with the iOS 9.1 release date still out of view, the beta is extremely tempting for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users looking to get the new emojis, the News app in the UK, and improved performance.

Earlier this month, Apple released iOS 9.1 beta 5, its fifth version of iOS 9.1 beta for developers and those in the public Beta Software Program. Apple hasn’t said anything but the iOS 9.1 beta 5 could be the final beta before the release of the final version.

iPhone and iPad users are getting antsy. We’ve received a ton of questions about the iOS 9.1 beta, iOS 9.1 beta 5, and the iOS 9.1 release date. Today, we want to answer those questions with an in depth look at the iOS 9.1 beta for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This is what you need to know ahead of the update’s roll out.
