IOS 5 Features and Impact on iPhone Application Development

In an effort to cater to the demands of the niche market, Apple has introduced iOS 5, which is believed to be an advanced operating system that brings rich benefits for end users. The new version comes with an updated SDK, as it also unveils two hundred novel features that enhance the value of iOS 5 version. Apart from serving as a sound platform for end users, iOS 5 and the novel features have provided great opportunities for a developer involved in the iPhone app development program to develop novel applications. What are the alluring features that demand the attention of developers?

iCloud
iCloud is one of the novel features in iOS 5 that attracts the attention of developers. This is a feature that allows applications to make good use of cloud-based storage, for storing key data and documents. iCloud is special as this feature enhances the potentials of sharing content, and it has the ability to work with Core Data in an open fashion. Most importantly, developers who are habituated to building as well as maintaining an external API can get rid of this practice, as developers can use iCloud for applications that need APIs, which get introduced for storage, backups or syncing.
