Apple "Pushes Back iOS5 Cloud-Based Update To Autumn"


TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has delayed the launch of cloud-based iOS services until autumn this year.

The change would involve a revamped MobileMe, with music, photo, video and data storage at Apple servers and would be included in a major update to iOS5 for iPhone iPad and iPod Touch.

TechCrunch sources say:
  • iOS 5 will launch in the fall and will be a major revamp of the OS
  • The iOS 5 launch is also likely to coincide with the release of a new type of iPad.
  • 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.
