Release notes

What changed

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

Milestone identity

Contemporary coverage identifies iOS 9.3 Beta 5 as distributed to registered developers on 2016-03-01. Public-test participation is mentioned only when it joined the same numbered milestone; it is not split into a duplicate route.[1]

What changed here

This page indexes 2 milestone-specific records. It excludes features merely repeated from an earlier seed and avoids treating a final cumulative list as a fresh beta delta. Any explicitly cumulative record preserves bounded release-scope context rather than claiming that a feature was active in this seed.[2][3][4]

Evidence boundary

The retained sequence proceeds from numbered betas to the iOS 9.3 public release. No separately distributed GM or RC is modeled. That is a bounded archival conclusion about externally named routes, not a statement about Apple's internal candidates.[5]
