The latest iOS 14.5 Beta 3 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 3 are available for all supported iPhones and iPads respectively. On the second beta, Apple fixes some of the known bugs, but there are still some issues that exist in Beta 2. And hopefully, the third beta fixes most of the bugs. Apple also released macOS Big Sur 11.3 Beta 3 along with iOS 14.5 Beta 3 and iPadOS 14.5 Beta 3. Both iOS and iPadOS updates come with build version 18E5164h. And this time Apple also upgraded the modem firmware for better connectivity. The update weighs around 500MB which can vary a little depending on the iPhone or iPad model.
