iOS 5 : Should you Update?

Tweet

iOS 5, the latest iOS version from Apple came out for the general public this week. And updating to it has been quite a tedious task for some of us, due to Error 3200 and Error 3194. But, it is actually good to update it to the latest iOS, the iOS 5. So, here I would discuss and highlight a few reasons why you should update to iOS 5 and a reason why you should not update to iOS 5.

The iOS 5 is said to have a lot of new features that the older versions did not have. The main features include :

• iCloud : The most awaited iCloud service on this version of iOS lets you store your contacts, calendar entries, notes, bookmarks, reminders and a few other services.

• Better Notification Center : This version of iOS has a notification center(drop-down), which has been adapted from the Android version of the notification center.

• iMessage : iMessage is an inter-device messaging client, like the Blackberry Messenger Service, which will allow users to exchange messages on their iDevices.


• Twitter Integration - Apple has integrated Twitter into the iOS 5, which you can use to tweet about the latest updates, straight from your device.

• No PC Required : Now, if you wish to update your iOS device, you need not connect it to a PC to update, you can update it directly on your device, over WiFi or 3G Connection. Also, you can sync up your iTunes on PC with your device over WiFi.

There are a lot more features that you can read about on the Apple website.

This version of iOS supports the following devices :

• iPhone 3GS


• iPhone 4 and 4S


• iPod Touch 3G and 4G


• iPad and iPad2

Now, let's get on the topic, why you should update or you should not update.

Reasons to Update :

• This is the latest version of the iOS for your Apple devices.


• This has all those features that you would ever want on your portable device.

Reasons not to Update :

• I believe, the only reason not to update would be that an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 has not been made public and if you are a jailbreak fan, you should wait till the jailbreak its out and then update.
