iOS 5: What’s new?

The final version of iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch has just released and it brings lots of new features. In this small review i will highlight 2 new features.

Notification Center

Notification center is one of the biggest new features in iOS 5. With notification center you can see all the notifications that you received and watch the weather and stocks in one place. Notification center is accessed by swiping from above.

Reminders

Reminders is a new app to remind yourself of thing’s you need to do. Just pull out your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, make a reminder and you will never forget anything. You can even get an reminder when you leave or arrive on a location.

Over the air update

Finally, you can update your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch right on your device without the need of an PC or Mac. Just go to your settings and search for new updates and it automatically installs the new update. The updates are now also delta updates, so you only download the changes instead of the whole OS.

Wifi sync

Another new feature is wifi sync. No need to plug in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your PC or Mac. You can now sync over your wifi network so that all the content on your device is always up to date. When you plug your device on your power adapter, it automatically searches for your PC or Mac and starts syncing. And you won’t get interrupted while syncing cause it syncs in the background.

You can download iOS 5 right now by plugging in your device in your PC or Mac and press update via iTunes (for the last time, yay for over the air update).
