Updates to any operating system are great. They bring fixes, refreshed looks, and numerous great additions for the end user. Unfortunately, updates are usually kept quiet until the release date, and there is no company known more for secrecy than Apple.
The latest leak of information from the Cupertino, California, based company is about iOS 5.1. We haven’t heard anything about the update for iOS 5 yet, and even though we now know the alleged release date, we’re still in the dark about exactly what 5.1 will bring.
Anyway, that date is March 9th. While that’s still a month away, it’s definitely a very plausible date; although we don’t cover it, the iPad 3 is rumored to be announced later this month and released in March, so a coinciding release of 5.1 and the iPad 3 would make sense.
An incremental release would not usually be such a big deal, but given the problems that the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 in general have had, it’s nice to know roughly when some of those problems should go away.
