iOS 5 To Be Revealed Next Week by Apple

Apple's iPhone 4 made its way to our country recently. It is already available on Aircel and Airtel with a rather hefty price (though the networks promise 100% money back over a period of two years via monthly credits). Well, the rather alarming issue with the launch was that India was a bit too late in getting the phone considering the fact that we are all anticipating the launch of its successor.

Apple has now confirmed its launch, partially at least, by saying that the company will be revealing the latest iteration ofiOS, i.e. iOS 5 at the WWDC 2011 (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) next week. This is supposed to bring a couple of new features, which the company will briefly demonstrate. This will be done in the presence of, Apple CEO, Steve Jobs who will start off with a keynote presentation accompanied by other Apple executives and officials.


This event will also be host to a few other demonstrations, including the launch of the much expected Mac OS 10.7 Lionand Apple's very own cloud-based music service called iCloud. So this event will be host to not just one demonstration or launch, but three significant launches. And as Apple always does with their keynote addresses, this one too is supposed to raise the bar significantly.

And as surprising as it may sound, there is no word yet on the launch of the new iPhone (4S or 5) yet. This further hints at a September or October launch of the new iPhone as rumoured before. However, the big question remains that whether the new iPhone will be able to stand against the new crop of fast Android handsets powered by dual-core processors. There is also the question of when it will be launched in our country. And when it does, how heftily would it be priced? Only time will tell.
