iOS 5.0 in mop

While the controversy over iOS 4. x and its localization management is under way, Apple is testing visibly iOS 5.0. This system, which encrypts the data in question according to Apple - is expected at the same time as the next iPhone. The company generally has linked the release of an iPhone OS version 5.0 and should not depart from the rule.

For now, the beta is not available, but developers have been bug reports indicating iOS 5.0 as a system. We do not know the correct news, but we can expect one thing: the total abandonment of the iPhone 3G and iPod touch second generation. For now, iOS 4. x is still running on the models in question, even if version 4.3.

x is not available. By abandoning the "old" devices, Apple could optimize its operating system for the ARMv7 instruction set and take advantage of OpenGL ES 2.0 in his system, which was not really possible before. Indeed, the iPhone and iPhone 3G (and the first two generations of iPod touch) are based on an ARM11 processor type (in ARMv6) and a chip PowerVR MBX Lite, limited to OpenGL ES 1.1.

All other devices, since the iPhone 3G, are based on a chip Cortex A8 or A9 (ARMv7) and a PowerVR SGX OpenGL ES 2.0 5xx, much more effective. Remains to be seen the other "news" that Apple will offer.
