TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has decided to wait until fall 2011 to launch their rumored iOS 5 for iOS devices: the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPod Touch. The major iOS upgrades are typically revealed by Apple during February or March then previewed again in early June alongside a new iPhone, ten released on or around the new iPhone’s availability date. The report claims that 2011 will be different and that customers will likely only get their hands on the next-generation mobile operating system during the fall. It would make sense for Apple to unveil the final touches at their annual fall/September music event. The report says we will most likely see our first glimpse at iOS 5 at Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) in early June, and we assume developers will get a preview download at that date. The report is short on iOS 5 details but it does claim that it’s a major revamp and it will be heavily cloud-based. This seems to go hand-in-hand with the rumored music locker service from Apple – in addition to Media Stream and Find my Friends. TechCrunch also expects a new iPad for a fall announcement – although that just doesn’t seem likely to us. In terms of Apple launching a fifth-generation iPhone at WWDC with iOS 4 – it doesn’t seem likely if you look at Apple’s past release cycles but it could be a possibility. In fact, we found references to an iPhone 5 with an A5 processor – the same one as in the iPad 2 – in the iOS 4.3 development kit. Apple also appears to still be working on iOS 4.x as they released an update recently. In addition, Media Stream and Find my Friends were both found in the iOS 4.3 SDK. Apple is also rumored to launch a revamped MobileMe MobileMe around April which is heavily cloud-based. Perhaps the new and possibly free service will tie together with Apple’s next-gen iOS. Another thing to keep in mind that TechCrunch’s track record with pinpointing Apple information. Less than a week after the iPad’s unveil in January 2010 they reported that Apple is already at work on a Mac OS X tablet for a 2010 launch with an Intel processor. They were also one of the many sites who pinpointed a January reveal of the Verizon iPhone 4. TechCrunch also said back in 2008 that Apple is working on their own search engine. With that all in mind, you can take the news how you see fit. As usual, we will keep you updated with the latest information.
