Elegant and intuitive interface.
You know how to use iPhone from the first time you pick it up.
That’s because the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface in iOS was
designed for your finger. And the simple, beautiful Home screen is the
easiest place to start. From built-in apps to over 500,000 apps
available from the App Store. From making a FaceTime call to editing a video with iMovie. Everything you touch is easy, intuitive, and fun.
Over 200 new features.
Notification Center
It’s the one place where you’ll see what’s up. iPhone works
with your apps to let you know about missed messages, calendar
invitations, friend requests, and more. New notifications appear
discreetly at the top of your screen. And you can see a summary of
recent notifications when you swipe down from the top of any screen.

Messages with iMessage
Now you can text it up with fellow iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users running iOS 5. Messages with iMessage are unlimited.1
And secure, too. Talk to all your friends or family at once with group
messaging. See who’s reading with delivery and read receipts. And if
words aren’t enough, send photos, videos, locations, and contacts.

Reminders
You’ll never miss an important deadline, errand, or grocery
item thanks to Reminders. Create lists of things to do that you can
check off as you go. Even add due dates and locations — pick up mustard
at the store after work, for example. Reminders knows exactly when and
where to send you an alert.

Twitter Integration
Twitter is integrated into iOS 5, so you can sign in once under
Settings and begin tweeting directly from Safari, Photos, Camera,
YouTube, and Maps. You can even start typing a friend’s Twitter handle
and iOS will autocomplete the rest from your contacts.
Photos
Touch up photos right on your iPhone — without the help of
photo editing software on a computer. Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove
red-eye. Then organize your shots into albums, so you know exactly where
your favorites are when the next photo-sharing opportunity presents
itself.

Camera Enhancements
Here’s a photo op for your photo ops. Now you can access the
Camera app right from the Lock screen. Use grid lines and pinch-to-zoom
gestures to get your shot just right. Focus with a tap. Then press the
volume-up button and take your photo.

The world’s largest collection of mobile apps.
With thousands of apps in practically every category, iOS is the
platform for the world’s largest collection of mobile apps. Apple gives
third-party developers a rich set of tools and APIs, and they’ve
created apps and games that redefine what a mobile device can do. Where
do you find these apps? Just browse the App Store on your iPhone and
download them with a tap.

Performance and stability that lead the industry.
iOS is a desktop-class operating system that’s been reinvented
for mobile devices. Because it’s based on the world’s most advanced
computer operating system — OS X — performance in iOS is fast and
stability is rock-solid. It manages power efficiently and delivers
outstanding battery life. iOS even ensures that performance and battery
life don’t suffer when you’re multitasking with multiple apps open at
the same time.
Hardware and software made for each other.
Because Apple makes both the iPhone hardware and the operating
system, everything works together seamlessly and intelligently. This
integration enables apps to take full advantage of iPhone hardware
features such as the Retina display, the Multi-Touch interface, the
accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and more.
FaceTime is a perfect example. It uses both iPhone cameras, the display,
the microphone, and your Wi-Fi connection.

Multi-Touch technology.
You already know how to use iPhone, because you use the most
natural pointing device there is: your finger. Nobody does Multi-Touch
better than Apple.
Really long battery life.
The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS 5 deliver outstanding
battery life. So you can keep making calls, checking email, and browsing
the web.
Safe and secure by design.
iOS is highly secure from the moment you turn on your iPhone.
All apps run in a safe environment, so a website or app can’t access
data from other apps. iOS also supports encrypted network communication
to protect your sensitive information. To guard your privacy, apps
requesting location information are required to get your permission
first. You can set a passcode lock to prevent unauthorized access to
your device and configure iPhone to delete all your data after too many
unsuccessful passcode attempts. And in case your iPhone is lost or
stolen, Find My iPhone allows you to locate it on a map and remotely
delete all your data. When you get it back, you can restore everything
from your last backup.2
It comes with built-in parental controls.
Parental controls built into iOS help you manage just about
everything your child can do on iPhone. Set custom restrictions for
Safari, Camera, FaceTime, Game Center, YouTube, Location Services, and
more. Even manage access to stuff you’ve already purchased from the
iTunes Store and App Store.
Ready for business.
Businesses around the world are choosing iPhone for its
enterprise-ready features and powerful security. iOS works with
Microsoft Exchange and standards-based servers to deliver over-the-air
push email, calendar, and contacts. iOS protects your data by encrypting
information in three separate areas: in transmission, at rest on the
device, and when backed up to iTunes. You can securely access private
corporate networks through industry-standard VPN protocols. And
companies can easily deploy iPhone across an enterprise using
configuration profiles.
Accessibility built in.
iOS comes standard with a wide range of accessibility features
that help people with disabilities experience everything iPhone has to
offer. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen-reading technology
allows those who are blind or have low vision to hear a description of
the item they’re touching on the screen. iOS also offers out-of-the-box
support for over 30 wireless braille displays and many other
award-winning accessibility features, such as dynamic screen
magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, mono audio, white on
black text, and more.

Works all over the world.
iPhone and iOS are made to be used around the world. The user
interface is localized into over 30 languages, and you can easily switch
between them. Because the keyboard is software-based, you can select
from over 50 different layouts with support for language-specific
features including diacritic marks on characters, handwritten input for
Chinese, and contextual character options for Japanese. In addition, the
built-in dictionaries support over 50 languages, VoiceOver reads
screens in 36 languages, and Voice Control understands over 20
languages.
