Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 5 within the next couple of weeks, and then release it next month. When the iPhone 5 is released, iOS 5 should be available to download for owners of older iPhones as well. And the circle of life continues.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>iOS 5 features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Notification Center:<\/strong>&nbsp;All your alerts. All in one place. You get all kinds of notifications on your iOS device: new email, texts, friend requests, and more. With Notification Center, you can keep track of them all in one convenient location. Just swipe down from the top of any screen to enter Notification Center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-2.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>iMessage:<\/strong>&nbsp;iPad and iPod touch join the conversation. With iMessage, we\u2019ve created a new messaging service for all iOS 5 users. You can send unlimited text messages via Wi-Fi or 3G from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to anyone with one of those devices. iMessage is built into the Messages app, so you can send text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-3.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Newsstand:<\/strong>&nbsp;A custom newsstand for all your subscriptions. Read all about it. All in one place. iOS 5 organizes your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions in Newsstand: a folder that lets you access your favorite publications quickly and easily. There\u2019s also a new place on the App Store just for newspaper and magazine subscriptions. And you can get to it straight from Newsstand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-4.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reminders:<\/strong>A better way to do to-dos. Next time you think to yourself, \u201cDon\u2019t forget to&#8230;,\u201d just pull out your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and jot it down. Reminders lets you organize your life in to-do lists \u2014 complete with due dates and locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-5.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Twitter:<\/strong>&nbsp;Integrated right into iOS 5. iOS 5 makes it even easier to tweet from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Sign in once in Settings, and suddenly you can tweet directly from Safari, Photos, Camera, YouTube, or Maps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-6.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong>&nbsp;Capture the moment at a moment\u2019s notice. Since your iPhone is always with you, it\u2019s often the best way to capture those unexpected moments. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll love the new camera features in iOS 5. You can open the Camera app right from the Lock screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-7.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Photos:<\/strong>&nbsp;Enhanced photo enhancements.

Safari Reader displays web articles sans ads or clutter so you can read without distractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.appleinsider.com\/ios5-110606-9.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>PC Free:<\/strong>&nbsp;Independence for all iOS devices. With iOS 5, you no longer need a computer to own an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Activate and set up your device wirelessly, right out of the box. Download free iOS software updates directly on your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mail:<\/strong>&nbsp;Your inbox is about to receive some great new features. Format text using bold, italic, or underlined fonts. Create indents in the text of your message. Drag to rearrange names in address fields. Flag important messages. Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly. If you\u2019re looking for a specific email, you can now search in the body of messages. And with iCloud, you get a free email account that stays up to date on all your devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calendar:<\/strong>&nbsp;Get more perspective on your schedule with year view on iPad and week view on iPhone and iPod touch.

With iOS 5, you can get your game face on with even more Game Center features. Post a profile picture. Meet your match with new friend recommendations based on the games you play and the players you already know. Discover new games without leaving Game Center. And size up an opponent on the spot with new overall achievement scores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wi-Fi Sync<\/strong>&nbsp;Wirelessly sync your iOS device to your Mac or PC over a shared Wi-Fi connection. Every time you connect your iOS device to a power source (say, overnight for charging), it automatically syncs and backs up any new content to iTunes. So you always have your movies, TV shows, home videos, and photo albums everywhere you want them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multitasking Gestures for iPad:<\/strong>&nbsp;iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly \u2014 and securely \u2014 stream whatever\u2019s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what\u2019s on your iPad display up there on the big screen \u2014 even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong>&nbsp;iOS 5 comes with innovative new features that make it easier for people with mobility, hearing, vision, and cognitive disabilities to get the most from their iOS devices. iOS 5 works with specialized hardware accessories. The LED flash and custom vibration settings let you see and feel when someone\u2019s calling. And improvements to VoiceOver include custom element labeling. These are just a few of the ways iOS 5 continues making advances in the field of accessibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>The company is also believed to be working on additional, still-secret functionality that has yet to be publicly revealed, including advanced voice recognition and commands.<br>via <a href=\"http:\/\/dvice.com\/archives\/2011\/09\/apples-ios-5-ju.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DVICE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
