Official Download Links for iOS 8 Beta 5 - Test It First Before It Goes Public.

As expected, Apple released iOS 8 beta 5 yesterday exactly two weeks after iOS 8 beta 4 was released to the developers for testing. Compared to the previous beta versions, Apple hasn't much introduced new features to iOS 8 beta 5 but there is an apparent boost in performance which can make beta 5 a significant daily driver for your precious iOS device. Since it's still a beta build, expect that some of yet unpolished bugs may be encountered anytime so always take precautions before installing it on your device. Always make a back-up of your device before installing the beta software.

I have listed the release dates of iOS 8 betas from beta 1 to the latest beta 5 and I think we still have to wait for beta 6 before the Gold Master version is released. Take note that last year's iOS 7 beta testing ended in beta 6 before the release of Golden Master. A week after Golden Master was released, iOS 7.0 was officially released to the public as a free software update from iOS 6.1.6.
