Before making any major iOS release public, Apple has always released the beta version for developers. However, there was only one version of iOS which never went into beta because Apple didn’t had any iOS SDK or App Store in 2007. Therefore, in the comparison chart below, WillHains has compared the release of each iOS beta, starting from OS 2.0 and no. of days it had lasted.
If you observe the chart keenly, you would realize that iOS 5.0 had been longest in a beta release. Apple seeded iOS 5 beta on June 6 2011 to developers which lasted for about 128 days since its release and had 8 beta version. On the other hand, iOS beta that lasted for only 60 days is iOS 2.1 with only 4 beta versions. It seems that after the release of iOS 5.0, these bars for the seed of iOS beta would break even the previous records. [click to continue…]
In our earlier article we showed how to Multi-Task on your iPhone iOS 3.
However, since the launch of iOS 4 & the latest iOS 5, Apple has introduced in-built support for multi-tasking in iPhones. However, Apple’s multi-tasking, is not 100% true multi-tasking. In case of TRUE multi-tasking, the code for each app is held individually in system memory, and the operating system serves as a regulator, deciding which apps get higher or lower system resources. The reason is iPhone doesn’t have enough built-in memory for true multi-tasking. If it held multiple apps actually running in memory even in the background, the iPhone would slowdown over time, battery would bleed profusely, and your beloved iPhone would eventually shut-down.
In case of iOS 4 & 5 the iPhone pauses the active running apps while another app takes foreground. Then, when you switch to a paused app, it resumes exactly where it was. What’s the advantage you ask? The apps do not start from scratch & come alive instantly without having to restart. [click to continue…]
