The Upcoming of iOS 5? Cloud Base

As a rumors been around for a couple of months, iOS 5 is likely to be postponed till this fall and it’s said to be previewed at WWDC. Apple would revamp its MobileMe service as a cloud-based service for remote file and music storage. The upcoming iOS 5 is said to focus more on the cloud services. A number of new services may launch with this new version including a “music locker” service which could store your music remotely and a location service that lets you find friends and family members.

According to Techcrunch:

iOS 5 will launch in the fall and will be a major revamp of the OS.

It could well be previewed at WWDC, it just won’t be released then.

The iOS 5 launch is also likely to coincide with the release of a new type of iPad which we previously reported on.

The new iOS will be heavily built around the cloud, and we could see several new services launch from Apple that take advantage of this.

Yes, one of those is very likely a “music locker” service. There is also a fall launch aim for this, during Apple’s annual music-themed event.

But much of the cloud stuff will first be talked about at WWDC, Apple’s developer event which will take place in June.

One of the new cloud service elements is likely a location service that focuses on finding friends and family members.

So what about iPhone 5? If the Techcrunch’s source is right, it’s very likely the iPhone 5 will not come with iOS 5. Instead, an iOS 4.x version specifically designed for the new iPhone.
