 Apple prepare for the official launch iOS 5
The official launches for both iOS 5 and iCloud are drawing nearer as developers are running through the final stages of improvements before their release. The news of the imminent iOS 5 began to generate rumours which suggested that the iPhone 5 will also be released in autumn in order to coincide with the new operating system. Apple released iOS 5.0 beta 4 on 22 July 2011to test the functionality of its innovative system. The developers found that the beta version did not require any of the redundant data that was required with the iPhone 4 release. The iOS 5.0 beta 4 can also be downloaded over a WiFi or 3G connection. However the mobile device has to have over 50 per cent battery life or be plugged into a power source in order for the installation button to work. Apple is ensuring that users of the iOS 5 will no longer have to rely on stationary devices. The company aims to free mobile devices from PCs and enable users to set up apps and upgrades without the assistance of a computer. Apple will also be delivering software updates straight to mobile devices with iOS 5 and enabling users to update wirelessly without having to connect to iTunes. Apple has also freed users from their PCs as an iOS 5 upgrade will allow people to set up an AirPort Base Station and a Time Capsule from their mobile device. Apple is officially launching iCloud at around the same time as the iOS 5. This new storage system is also set to unshackle people from their PCs as the system will store saved content such as music, videos and photos which users can then access from multiple devices. The iOS style popup currently on the iCloud webpage suggests that Apple will be making its web based apps accessible to iOS devices. Apple is creating a future which is easier and simpler for the mobile device user. When iOS 5 is released, iPhone and iPad users will be capable of updating their calendars and organising their subscriptions straight from their mobile device. The iOS 5 also has a new messaging system which allows users to start up a conversation with another iPad, iPhone or iPod touch user and then finish the chat on a different device. |
