Apple’s iOS 5: Talk of the town

Think of iPhone these days and the first thing that comes into mind is iOS 5. Apple is coming up with the much awaited operating system which has got more than 200 new features for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This is the most talked about operating system and it has an updated SDK with more than 1500 APIs for the developers and also has strong development tools. For the user it has more than 200 user friendly features. 

Apple is all set to launch the latest version of iOS and this would help developers to take advantage of iCloud storage, core image, GL kit, Twitter, News stand Kit and new game center APIs, Story boards and many more. This version also includes earthquake warnings system for Japanese iPhone users. This app could help in mass evacuations during such crisis. 

Apple is also phasing out the UDID from iOS 5. UDID is a code which helps the developers to know what the user is doing with their iPhone. This UDID is used by the company for iAds as it becomes easier for them to target the users with the advertisement they might be interested in. As a result of this the app developers will have to come up with their own ways to identify what the users are doing on the app store. 

Apple has already launched iOS 5 beta 6 for the developers to work on it. This has become the most awaited operating system of the year.
