As I watched the news about the new iOS5, I was wondering why Apple didn't reveal any details about their new iPhone. As far as I remember, they always release new iOS with new iPhone device (they released iOS3 coincidentally with iPhone 3G, then iOS4 with iPhone4).

Plenty of rumors have mentioned and described that the new iPhone 5 will have similar design as iPhone 4 but it will have new Super Amoled LCD screen (which will be more advanced than the new Samsung Galaxy 2 Super Amoled LCD).

And today, I've read the rumor that both iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 will be released in September! As Apple will try to target both ends of customers so everyone can now have an iPhone.

The iPhone 4S will be sold as prepaid phone and will cost less than $350; while on the other hand, the new iPhone 5 will be priced around the same as the new release iPhone phone prices. Of course iPhone 4S will have less feature than iPhone 5, but if all our family & friends use iPhone, we can utilize the new iOS5 & iMessages!

1. New Integrated Notification (message, email, SMS, chat, twitter, dll)

Starting from iOS5, all notifications will be displayed at the top of our iDevices. And we can see the messages straight away, we don't need to exit the program that we're currently using. This feature is similar with the notification feature currently being utilized on all Android devices.

What I really love about the new notification messages is that even though the iDevice is locked, we will still be able to see all notifications. And we can easily open the notification & read the message just by swiping the notification msg.

2. Twitter integration

This twitter integration is similar with facebook integration. We can easily attach our photo from photo gallery, attach video, add our locations to our twitter account.

3. Reminder / Do-It Task

4. Safari Reader

5. Camera

We will be able to use the camera function even though the iDevice is locked. Because there is a camera button on the main screen. To make this feature more attractive, we can use "volume" button to take picture. Extremely easy. For everyone who loves to edit the picture straight away, there will be basic photography editing tools available.

6. iMessages

Using iMessages, we can send pictures, videos and messages to everyone who has iDevices (iPod, iPod touch, iPhone, iPad). Similar as Blackberry Messenger on Blackberry.

7. Synchronization

This is the feature that I've been waiting for. Usually, when we synchronize our iDevices, we need to connect it to our computer / laptop / netbook using cable. Starting from iOS5, we no longer need actual cable! Simply connect it using wifi and voila, synchronization starts right away.
