In the past few weeks, we have seen multiple releases back-to-back. And again, Apple surprises with yet another iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 beta. Yes, we are talking about the latest iOS 14.5 Beta 8 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 8 updates. It is the first time we are getting eight betas for a non-major iOS update (like iOS 13.0, iOS 14.0). Both iOS 14.5 Beta 8 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 8 are now out for developers. The public beta is expected to be released shortly.
Last week Apple announced that the iOS 14.5 public build will be out this month. But many of us were expecting the update in the first two weeks. And now it looks, it will be rolling out in the last week of this month. Since now there are two weeks left in the month, it is highly possible that next week Release Candidate can be released. We will update you on any cases.
Along with iOS 14.5 Beta 8 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 8, Apple also releases macOS Big Sur 11.3 Beta 8. No new watchOS and tvOS update as of now. Both iOS 14.5 Beta 8 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 8 are available with build version 18E5199a.

It is a minor update like the last Beta 7 and only comes with only bug fixes. There are no big changes in the update that we noticed. This is great on one side as it means the public release is near. Apple is planning to release the iOS 14.5 update in the event probably next week.
