Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Release milestone

The May 28 Beta 6 package changed provisioning, raised the SDK host requirement, and removed sample projects; an earlier private build is documented only as an exclusion boundary.[1][2][3]

What Beta 6 documents

This archive page contains 4 narrowly attributed historical records. All titles, summaries, and explanatory prose are original synthesis, with source locators retained for verification.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Selection boundary

The May 28 evidence independently identifies Beta 6, including firmware 5A308. The May 22 location and Camera reports describe an unnumbered private state, with AppleInsider naming build 5A292g. Because that earlier build cannot be assigned to Beta 6, its four location observations are excluded from this route and retained only as boundary evidence.[1][2][3][11][12]

Archive limitations

This archive does not reproduce publisher articles or confidential developer material. Unsupported build numbers, speculative features, long excerpts, and the separately owned Public route are excluded.[1][2][3][11][12]
