The wait is finally over! Apple has today released the final version of iOS 5 for end-users, so those of you desperate for some of the many useful improvements and new features, we suggest you head over to iTunes right now and update!
As promised, Apple has just released Find My Friends app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users running iOS 5. Find My Friends app will provide iOS 5 users with a handy way of stalking each other when Facebook, Google Latitude or Foursquare just doesn't suffice.
With iOS 5 set to be released this week, the focus is now firmly drawn towards the when, if, and how of an untethered jailbreak.
As you will already be aware, unless you've been stuck under a rock for the last few months, iOS 5 is set to launch next week along with the iPhone 4S, and although we've looked at and covered many of the key features, there are still new ones being discovered all the time in what has been a rather turbulent week for all concerned with Apple.
With final version of iOS 5 now available, there's no surprise that many of you might be looking to upgrade your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone as soon as possible, but there are often reasons not to upgrade, such as the availability of certain jailbreak tweaks and last-minute bugs that might have slipped by Apple's testing. If you have already upgraded, good news: you can downgrade your device back to iOS 4.3.5, 4.3.4, 4.3.3, 4.3.2, or 4.3 in a matter of minutes. Don't know where to start? Then read on.
As you might perhaps already know, the Gold Master build of iOS 5 was just released moments ago. If you're looking to jailbreak the new release of iOS 5, you can do so with the latest version of Redsn0w, just like you've been able to do using previous beta versions of iOS 5.
If there is one major complaint that can be leveled at Apple's stock iOS Photos app, it's the complete lack of any kind of basic image editing features. There isn't even a way to rotate your photos, for those rare occasions you manage to take a photo with your iPhone in the wrong orientation.
Apple today has released iTunes 10.5 Beta 9 ahead of Gold Master release which is expected to be available next Tuesday alongside iOS 5 GM.
Well well well, here's a tasty little morsel that we weren't expecting to crop up. If Mashable's Ben Parr is correct, and his sources aren't telling him lies, Facebook is set to launch its much-anticipated iPad app during Apple's yet to be announced special event for the release of iOS 5. This same event is expected to also play host to the iPhone 5 announcement.
Social networking giant, Twitter, could have provided yet another clue as to the potential release date of the much awaited fifth release of Apple's iOS software. With speculation reaching fever pitch surrounding the impending arrival of iOS 5, it appears Twitter may have tipped Apple's hat for them, with pair of developer events suggesting a final version of the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch operating system could be in customers' hands before October tenth.
