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!
Over the last few months, we've seen several pre-release seeds of iOS 5 but no indication on when we'd finally see the final version, and without any surprise, today at their media event, Apple has seeded the final Gold Master candidate of iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Ever wished a file in iOS 5 could predict when the system's next build is coming out? According to an amazing discovery from developers, there's actually a file within iOS 5 beta that predicts the release of iOS 5 Beta 6 for August 18th, after being successful at predicting Beta 5, which was released this past Saturday.
As many in the tech world have been expecting, iOS 5 Beta 5 has just been released to registered Apple developers. While we haven’t yet been able to test out the new build, it’s expected to include minor enhancements to Apple’s next-generation mobile operating system as it gets closer and closer to its September release.
Just months before iOS 5 is released and ten days after iOS 4.3.4 came out, one wouldn't expect to ever hear about iOS 4.3.5. It now turns out that yet another update for iOS 4.3 has been uploaded to Apple's servers, allegedly fixing a critical security issue.
iOS 4.2.10 has just been released by Apple for CDMA based iPhone 4 running on the Verizon network. According to the official change log, this minor update fixes a security vulnerability with certificate validation in iOS.
As many have predicted over the last few days, the fourth beta of iOS 5, Apple's next-generation mobile operating system, has just been released to developers today. While we didn't get the chance to play with the new build yet, it's likely to bring further feature enhancements and bug fixes to iOS 5.
Released alongside iOS 4.3.4 is iOS 4.2.9 for CDMA based iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network that patches PDF vulnerability in Mobile Safari exposed by the recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 tool by Comex.
Apple has just released a new 4.2.2 software update (based on iOS 4.3) for the second generation Apple TV. This release contains various bug fixes and improvements over the last release.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
