iOS 5 will be unveiled alongside iCloud and the next iPhone to the public this Fall, and non-developers are clamoring to get their hands on Apple’s next major version of iOS. Apple has added a long list of new features to iOS 5 that greatly enhance the experience on both the iPhone and iPad. But there’s always room for more innovation.
We’ve come across a nice concept video that showcases a boatload of possible features for iOS 5. Check it out after the break…

Features in the video include:
- Persistent notifications in the status bar
- Third party widget management through Notification Center
- Collapsable notifications in Notification Center
- Unobtrusive incoming call notifications
- App icons changing on the springboard based on different notifications
- Better app and widget management
- Widgets in Spotlight search window
- Fast app switching with Mac OS X-style gestures
- New touch gestures for managing open applications
- iPhone and Mac joined through WiFI connection
We’ve seen iOS 5 concept videos before, but this one definitely packs the most features in a single vid. Hopefully Apple will continue to add features similar to these in future updates. How cool would it be to text from your Mac’s menubar?
