Things I like about iOS 5

Following the issues of actually installing iOS 5 onto my iPhone 4 the upgrade has added extra functionality to the phone. The highlights for me are:

  • wireless syncing over our network to iTunes on my laptop
  • iCloud to back up my photograph to my laptop
  • I like the “draw down” notifications screen
  • the new Reminders app is useful particularly when using the notifications screen
  • formatting in email
  • I am off to Cornwall next week for a few days walking and camping so I will try out the upgraded Camera app then and comment on it once I have seen some results.

    Things against iOS 5

  • the Newstand is a non-starter for me
  • has it slowed down the typing speed?
  • Should you upgrade – yes – but look back at my post a out my upgrade experience before you do it – iOS 5 problems.
