Apple released the latest beta version of iOS 5 as well as the latest version of iTunes 10.5 to developers yesterday on July 11th 2011. The iOS 5 beta 3 release today came with a list of known issues, as developers and Apple continue to work out the bugs. However, iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is slated to be released, in its final shining glory and over 200 new features, to users this fall.
On June 6 at the WWDC 2011 keynote address, iOS 5.0 and its features were announced. iOS 5 will introduce the iCloud service and the Notification Center, as well as improvements to native apps such as Camera. The operating system also features new applications, such as the "Reminders" app and "Newsstand", an application resembling Folders and iBooks. Unlike other applications, Newsstand is the first native application to actually run on the homescreen. "iMessage" is an application that allows iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad users to communicate, much like a chat service only used between these devices. The iMessage feature has been integrated into the SMS/MMS application used originally on the iPhone models. The iPod application on the iPhone and iPad has now been split into the Music and Video application, just like on the iPod touch. The new OS is claimed to have over 200 new features.
However, It is not clear yet what really the latest iOS 5 build. Claiming access to "those familiar with the new build," AppleInsider states that iMessage on iOS 5 beta 3 will not communicate with a device running iOS 5 beta 1. Also, the new build addresses allegedly issues with AirPlay mirroring as well as notification problems with the new Reminders app.
