iOS 5.1 Leaked Prematurely!


Submitted by Dan; February 17, 2012
Apparently the folks over at BlogdoiPhone have gotten their pesky little hands on a pre-GM version of iOS 5.1 software update. The GM (Golden Master) is the revision of software that will be released to the public. BlogDoiPhone claim that the lock screen shortcut for the Camera app does not need to enabled by the double tapping the home button in the pre-GM version of iOS 5.1, it is available at all times. It also looks like Apple plans to replace the button with a slider. So sliding up on the camera icon gives you instant access to the Camera app to take photos, instead of tapping on Camera icon, which currently launches the Camera app. It seems to be an even quicker method to access the Camera app. Additionally, as rumored Apple seems to have added support for Japanese language to Siri in this pre-Golden Master version of iOS 5.1. Pretty awesome for those who speak Japanese, eh? So far, Apple has seeded developers with three beta versions of iOS 5.1 (beta 1, beta 2, beta 3) with the last one seeded on January 9th. Apple is expected to release iOS 5.1 along with iPad 3 that is expected to be unveiled on March 7th. However, that's a rumor, may or may not happen only time will tell. What do you think? Is the quicker camera shortcut something you'd like to have? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm afraid that there isn't much of anything Apple can put into 5.1 that would make me give up my jailbreak. There must be more to that update, or else I'd say it's practically useless.
