Tabbed Browsing and Reading List Feature in iOS 5
One of the notable features introduced in iOS 5 is tabbed browsing, which allows users to set up multiple tabs similar to Firefox or Chrome. This feature enables users to quickly switch between different websites without having to navigate through multiple windows or apps. The reading list feature is another useful addition that lets users add pages to their reading list instead of bookmarks. Users can sort out the items in their reading list, view only unread items, and jump back to them when they have more time to read.
Newsstand Feature
The newsstand feature in iOS 5 allows users to access magazines digitally. There are several magazines available for download, including Autoweek, which costs $0.99 per issue. To access the magazines, users need to click on "Buy Now" within the app. The notifications feature in iOS 5 has been improved, allowing users to customize the way they receive notifications. Users can select how often they want to be notified, whether or not the notifications show up on their lock screen, and if they have an audible sound.
Reminders Feature
The reminders feature in iOS 5 is a useful tool for organizing tasks and notes. Users can set reminders that are location-based, allowing them to tie specific tasks to specific locations. This feature is particularly helpful for the organized bunch who like to stay on top of their schedules. The reminders can be checked off as they are completed, making it easier to keep track of progress.
Photo Application
The photo application in iOS 5 has been improved with several new features. When users select the Edit icon, some of the features are already available, while others are new additions like redeye reduction and automatic enhancements. Users can also crop images within the app, which is a useful feature for anyone who likes to edit their photos.
Notification Bar
The notification bar in iOS 5 has been improved significantly compared to previous versions of the operating system. When users click on something from within the notification bar, it brings them straight to that application. This means they don't have to navigate through multiple windows or apps to access a specific notification. The lock screen notification feature is also new and allows users to view notifications without having to unlock their device.
Siri Feature
One of the most highly anticipated features in iOS 5 is Siri, which will be exclusive to the iPhone 4s. While the exact details of Siri's capabilities are still unknown, it is expected to integrate seamlessly with other Apple devices and services. Users who upgrade from older devices will not have access to Siri, but they can start using the improved notification bar, reading list feature, newsstand, reminders, photo application, and other new features introduced in iOS 5.
Overall
While iOS 5 does not introduce a major overhaul of the operating system, it brings several welcome improvements that enhance the user experience. The tabbed browsing feature, reading list, newsstand, reminders, photo application, notification bar, and lock screen notifications are all useful additions that will make using an iPhone or iPod touch more efficient and convenient.
Customization
One of the best features in iOS 5 is its customization options. Users can personalize their home screens, notification settings, and even set up specific lists for their reminders. This level of control allows users to tailor their device to their individual needs and preferences.
Conclusion
iOS 5 is a significant update to Apple's mobile operating system, bringing several new features that enhance the user experience. From tabbed browsing and reading list features to newsstand, reminders, photo application improvements, notification bar updates, and Siri exclusive to the iPhone 4s, there's something for everyone in this update.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys it's aloof from unbox therapy and this is my iOS 5 review the first thing I want to talk about is notifications which are much improved instead of interrupting what you're doing you see how they just show up along top here whether you're in a web browser or whatever it is that you're doing now this is Apple's new messaging system the notifications can be accessed at any time much like the Android system for notifications and Apple's new messaging system is real nice real quick actually it's been called the bbm killer and what it what it does is it's basically instant messaging for any of your Apple devices right now I'm communicating between my iPod touch with iOS 5 and this iPad 2 you can send images multimedia so on and so forth everything happens really quickly and smoothly and with that new notification system it makes it even more usable more friendly to use there you go you can see instantaneously that image has been transferred over to the iPod Touch real cool for households that have multiple iOS devices the next thing that I want to talk about is Twitter now you may think hey that just looks like the regular Twitter app and it does but what's changed is the integration in other places within the operating system when you click on settings you'll notice that there's actually a Twitter icon right within the Preferences panes the settings pane on the left-hand side and basically what you end up with is a one-time login so that whatever it is that you're doing you've got Twitter options so for example in the web browser you can tweet web pages directly from there without having to go to you know twitter.com or into the Twitter app same as within YouTube again you can tweet a video via the share menu so really cool stuff a big improvement now on the iPad version of iOS 5 you've also got tabbed browsing finally and obviously that's self-explanatory it's gonna allow you to set up a number of different tabs just like in Firefox or Chrome for that matter and you know a real a real useful addition as far as I'm concerned within the web browser you may notice as well everything is really quick loading up unbox therapy com there it's got a couple of ads big thumbnails so on and so forth the next thing is this reading list which I really like it's kind of like instapaper which was an app before that you can add pages to your reading list instead of say bookmarks you may not want to keep them there forever it's like a temporary reading list and then from there you can sort of jump back to them and check them out when you have more time to read so you can have all of them show up or you can toggle the unread items so that you can get up to date a very cool addition that might be my favorite besides notifications the next thing is newsstand and this is kind of like the book application except for magazines there's a number of them available one thing I noticed though is I couldn't seem to find the New York Times for the iPad even though I could get it on the iPod touch I saw it show up there for a quick second but I couldn't find it actually with within the selectable options here so let me know if you guys have installed that on your on your iPad or maybe it's just because I'm in Canada I'm not really sure now most of the books available or so I should say magazines available the app is free but then you've got to go ahead and buy the individual issues of the magazine for example Autoweek they're 99 cents an issue and then you got to click Buy Now and then I guess it'll be within there for forever from that point forward so the notifications are a little bit more advanced you can actually go into the notifications preferences within settings and you can select the way you want them to look as well as how often you want to be notified and whether or not they show up in your lockscreen whether or not they have an audible sound this is really nice I like the ability to customize notifications depending on the application the next thing is reminders and this to me is not really that big of a deal it's it's a way of setting up little reminders little notes and you can check them off as you've done them or something that's interesting is with Siri on the 4s you can actually make them you know verbally and it can also be location-based so you can tie different tasks into specific locations set up different lists so on and so forth for the organized bunch that you are next is the photo application which has added a couple of features when you select the Edit icon here some of them are are what was there before but others are new like redeye reduction and otherwise you know you can all enhance the image get some better color in there or at least the appearance of more color and of course the crop feature is there which I guess it's pretty self-explanatory as well you can crop there you go beautiful so moving on I want to show you the difference in the notification bar in the iPod Touch this is what its gonna look like on the 4s once I pick it up tomorrow I guess and when you click on something from within the notification bar it brings you straight there so whether being a good example but also male if you have a met message or an email it'll bring you right into that application from the notification bar real quick real smooth and the other thing is lock screen notification so now you don't actually have to go in to see what it is and when you unlock with a notification there it'll bring you straight there so you go right into it instead of having to unlock click on the app and so on and so forth to take too many steps brutal stuff that it used to be so anyways these are all welcome improvements no major kind of overhaul I suppose Siri is what people are most excited about and that's not really available on these other devices yet it looks like it's gonna be exclusive to the 4s so for all of you other people with devices all the way back to the 3GS that are upgrading the iOS 5 these are things that you can start to use immediately improvements that you're going to see immediately so anyway guys if you like this content if you found this helpful hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and definitely stay tuned to the channel for the iPhone 4s unboxing and review which is going to be coming up tomorrow as soon as I get my hands on it if you haven't subscribed yet you're gonna want to do that and anyway guys until next time and
