5 Things To Do Before You Upgrade to iOS 5 →

With the iOS 5 release date of October 12th bearing down on us, I wanted to share 5 things you should do before you upgrade your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to iOS 5.

Apple is adding over 200 new features to iOS 5, which fixes many of the major complaints from iPhone users.

Apple will launch iOS5 tomorrow →

Apple will launch its mobile operating system (OS) update, IOS 5 tomorrow starting at midnight.

The update will then roll out globally, coming to the UK towards the end of the day or at the start of the following day, Apple staff in London told The INQUIRER.

IOS 5, which adds tabbed browsing, has 200 features such as a notifications centre to see notifications on the lock screen, and swipe to go directly to that app. It also allows users to create reminders, which can be location based.

What to expect from Apple's iPhone event →

After a lengthier than usual wait, tomorrow we get the next iPhone.

The burning question, of course, is how much of an update it will be. The iPhone 4 was a big step up from its predecessor, the 3GS, which itself was basically the iPhone 3G with a better camera and speedier insides. The iPhone 4 did the camera and speed tricks again, while changing up the outside and adding a considerably sharper screen.

Will the iPhone 5 represent a tuning of an already tried-and-true device? Or will the longer wait result in something that’s noticeably new? Those questions will be answered tomorrow morning, when Apple holds its “Let’s Talk iPhone” event (go here for CNET’s live coverage). In the interim, here’s a small laundry list of things to keep an eye out for as the event unfolds.
