Apple's iOS 7 beta 5 could be released on August 12.
iPhoneHacks said Apple will get back into the routine of launching a new beta every two weeks and beta 5 is the next due to be announced.
Each new release is normally launched a month before the expiry of the precious beta. For example, iOS 7 beta 1's expiry was 24 July and iOS 7 beta 2 was launched June 24. iOS 7 beta 2's expiry was 8 August and beta 3 was launched on 8 July.
Interestingly, iOS 7 beta 3's expiry date was listed as August 29 and following this pattern, beta 4 was launched on July 29. However, there was some speculation the update had been delayed because Apple's developer site was brought down as a result of a hack. Now it would seem this isn't the case and Apple planned to launch iOS 7 beta 4 a week later than previous roll outs.
Apple will then launch iOS 7 beta 6 two weeks later (August 26) and the final Gold Master beta on September 9.
The general release update will be rolled out after, towards the end of September.
iOS 7 has been through a lot of changes since the first beta was announced at WWDC and you can track them all in our iOS 7 beta guide.
