Until now, Apple has released updates for iOS 5 approximately 2 weeks apart, but several developers of iOS applications claim to have discovered the method by which Apple "plans" the updates of the new operating system. They analyzed the codes from the new OTA update system and discovered that on August 17, Apple plans to release beta version 6 of iOS 5, but of course they cannot say that this will happen for sure. The person who provided this information also knew the release date of iOS 5 beta 5, so it is very possible that beta 6 will appear on Wednesday, August 17.
On the other hand, the fact that Apple always releases new versions of iOS when it deems appropriate and not based on data included in the operating system for iDevices must also be taken into account. Not only once has Apple postponed the launch of an operating system due to tests and bugs, so it is always possible for Apple to launch a new version of iOS earlier or later than the planned date.
