Apple has just released the iOS 5 beta 6 firmware (build 9A5302b) to developers and it is now available to download for iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. At this moment not much is known about the iOS 5 beta 6 firmware update besides the obvious bug fixes and stability improvements. As we are in the 6th phase of beta testing for the iOS 5 firmware one can assume that we are nearing a GM release for iOS 5.

Note: just like the iOS 5 beta 5 firmware update you can update to iOS 5 beta 6 Over-The-Air. Meaning if you go into the new Software Update tab in the Settings.app (running iOS 5 beta 4 or above), you will be able to update over-the-air.

We will keep you updated if anything new and noteworthy surfaces in the iOS 5 beta 6 firmware update. Until that time please stay tuned…
