TechCrunch Claims iOS 5 and Cloud Services Will be Released in the Fall →

I don’t think TechCrunch has every been right when they’ve cited one of their “sources”, but it’s not a bad bet. People have been speculating on when Apple would be releasing some kind of cloud services, like cloud iTunes, since the huge data center in North Carolina was bought.
MG Siegler:
Here’s what we’re hearing right now:
- iOS 5 will launch in the fall and will be a major revamp of the OS.
- It could well be previewed at WWDC, it just won’t be released then.
- The iOS 5 launch is also likely to coincide with the release of a new type of iPad, which we previously reported on.
- The new iOS will be heavily built around the cloud, and we could see several new services launch from Apple that take advantage of this.
- Yes, one of those is very likely a “music locker” service. There is also a fall launch aim for this, during Apple’s annual music-themed event.
- But much of the cloud stuff will first be talked about at WWDC, Apple’s developer event which will take place in June.
- One of the new cloud service elements is likely a location service that focuses on finding friends and family members.
- As we said yesterday, OS X Lion is still on pace for a summer release — some of the new cloud components are likely to be baked into it as well.
