iOS 5 event in April?

We haven’t even got our hands on the latest version of Apple’s iOS yet but rumours of a wholly new iOS 5 have begun.

German Apple-fan blog Macerkopf.de is citing a trusted source as pointing to early April for an iOS 5 launch event.

Apple typically makes iOS announcements around spring time so expect some sort of new version around then. Last year saw the multi-tasking iOS 4 launched on April 8th.

Expect iOS 5 to bring in plenty of significant changes to Apple’s mobile operating system including a long hoped for update to notifications. Apple pulled in HP’s webOS notifications guru Rich Dellinger last year to try and sort the system out so hopefully whatever changes have been made will turn up in iOS 5.
