USING iOS 5: YOUR GUIDE
Introduction
When Apple released the iPhone back in 2007, it was different to anything else on the market. It wasn’t the first touch-
screen phone, but it was the first one to be so
pretty.
But as gorgeous as the hardware was, that wasn’t what made
the iPhone so great, or what shook the cellphone industry. It was the
software
which made the iPhone what it was.
The iPhone OS was designed to be as easy to use as possible; to bring all the features of a smartphone together in a
way that anybody could use them.
That
was what made the iPhone so popular.
But back then, the iPhone OS was very simple. You couldn’t cut and paste, and it took multiple iterations for MMS
to make it into the Messaging App. There was no App Store, and Angry Birds was little more than a twinkle in Rovio
Entertainment’s eye.
Each new iPhone provided greater processing power, affording more capabilities to the iPhone OS, which was dubbed
iOS in 2010 after the release of the iPad.
Now iOS 5 has been released, providing updates, tweaks and brand new features to make the iPhone, iPod Touch
and iPad even better and easier to use than before.

USING iOS 5: YOUR GUIDE
1. Presenting iOS 5
iOS? What’s that?
In case you didn’t know, iOS is the
operating system
(OS) which runs on Apple’s mobile devices – the iPhone, the
iPad and the iPod Touch.
The Apple TV also runs iOS, but this is a heavily modified version which has different features and functions and is
updated on a different schedule to the main version.
The operating system is software which runs on the device and allows the user to utilise the hardware of the device
as well as interact with other software which is installed. To users it is the user interface – in iOS, this is essentially the
Springboard
(the home screen) as well as the
Settings
app. The other default apps (Mail, Music, Videos, Notes and
the like) are included with iOS but are applications which run on top of the OS rather than being part of the OS itself.
To developers, iOS provides a series of
Application Programming Interfaces
(APIs) which makes it much easier for the
applications they build to talk to the hardware (and make use of its features), to other applications and to the OS itself.
iOS 5 is the latest version of iOS and was released to the public on October 12th, 2011.
Compatible Devices
The newest version of iOS 5 supports most of the devices supported by its predecessor, iOS 4. This means that the
following devices are supported:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
iPhone 4S
iPod Touch (3rd Generation)
iPod Touch (4th Generation)
iPad
iPad 2
If you have one of these devices, you’re good to go. If not, unfortunately you’re out of luck. Notably, the iPhone 3G
does not have support for iOS 5, and with good reason. If you have an iPhone 3G and upgraded to iOS 4, you may
have noticed that performance on your phone was terrible. As iOS 5 adds a lot of new features on top of those intro-
duced in iOS 4, it’s a fair assumption that the iPhone 3G would simply be too slow to cope.
