Apple Rumors, AAPL, OS X 10.11.5, BetaBeta: Apple (AAPL) has released the first beta of OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan to developers, reports MacRumors. Developers looking to get their hands on this new beta can download it from the company’s Developer Center. Being that the beta has just been released, it’s still unknown what kind of changes have been made to the operating system with this update. This new beta has been released two weeks after the final version of OS X 10.11.4 was released to the general public.

Bug: Apple has fixed a bug that allowed access to the device without a passcode or Touch ID, BGR notes. The issue fixed by the tech company made it so that a person could gain access to the photos and contacts without entering the security requirements on the lock screen. The problem was present in iOS 9.3 and was fixed via a server-side update, which means users don’t have to take any action for the fix to be applied to their device.

Apps: Code suggests that Apple will let users hide default apps on iOS devices, reports AppleInsider. The code was discovered in iTunes metadata and it includes the ability to hide default apps. However, this feature is currently set to false, but could be changed to true in later iOS updates. This change would satisfy many iPhone and iPad users that complain about not being able to hide the default apps on their devices.
