It's non existent because without Steve to push apple they aren't able to release a new iPhone this year. Lol wouldn't that suck if it was true?

Why is an old news of iOS 5.1 beta coming up today as the latest news on iClarified? This news is from Dec 2011. The authors should read before they post the articles!!

This isn't old news you idiot. In December Apple had put fake entries in there. Just like the article says. Read before commenting.
