Apple is distributing an early build of iOS 5.0.1 to some members of the public through its AppleSeed program, notes 9to5Mac. "We have selected you, based on a referral from AppleCare for participation in our program, to assist us in testing an upcoming iOS Software Update," part of Apple's invitation reads. Selection is reportedly being based on which customers have complained about battery life being crippled by iOS 5.
