The latest line to come out of the Apple rumor-mill is iOS-related and iOS 5 to be specific. According to a report by TechCrunch the much vaunted Siri could be the secret ingredient in the next major mobile operating system release to come out of Cupertino.
With the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference coming up in a few short months, we were all getting ready for a peak at the iPhone 5, but alas if reports are to be believed, we could be waiting a little longer than we had hoped.
TechCrunch writer MG Siegler today put together a post that could go some way to explaining why Apple didn't at least preview iOS 5 at its iPad 2 event as many of us thought they might. According to Siegler's sources, the next major release of Apple's mobile OS has been pushed back to a Fall release - and the cloud will feature heavily in this new version.
A new patent made public by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week and discovered by AppleInsider could hold the key to a new graphical interface for the way contacts and music are displayed on an iOS device.
Concepts of how Apple should spruce up its notification system for iOS are nothing new. Since man first stood upright the world has wondered just what Apple was thinking when it came up with the obtrusive, modal system we all know and loath. Now another contender has thrown his hat into the ring - and it's a beauty.
Many of us were surprised when Apple's iOS 5 wasn't at least mentioned at the Cupertino outfit's iPad 2 event last week, but MacRumors reports that we could be in for a whole new media event as soon as April.
According to sources close to Engadget, Apple is going to show off an early preview version of iOS 5 at the iPad 2 media event, which is going to be held on Wednesday, March 2nd, at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
Sources close to CultofMac has informed them that Apple is buying a small company to revamp the much criticized notification system of iOS.
As it stands today, our smartphones do just about everything we would want from a computer. They browse the internetz, take stunning images, send/receive emails, show us high-def videos, give us turn-by-frickin-turn voice-guided visual directions, check today’s special sex position (cause there’s an app for that!) and tons more shit that, if I start recalling, would take an eternity or two or document.
