iOS 5 beta 4 released

Everyone’s highly anticipating the arrival of iOS 5, as Apple has already let loss off their Lion. Well, it seemed that the last hurrah for the beta iOS 5 has just arrived, in the form of the beta 4. As with the costume of every iOS release, be it beta or gold, we will be watching closely for the jailbreak of this.

A new beta of iTunes has also been included, though looking through the change log there’s nothing particularly amazing about this release. Among other minutia, the Twitter app will now prompt you if it’s unable to identify your location before you exit it, MobileMe local contacts are deleted instead of being merged, and iCloud file names are now case sensitive.

Interestingly, this is the first version of iOS5 that is said to be able to be applied OTA — though that particular option comes with the warning that all photos will be deleted should you give it a try. We’re guessing that “feature” will not be present in the final release candidate, but we could be wrong.
