iOS 5 Release Date: Apple Media Event Planned Next Month?

Apple has only just released iOS 4.3 for devices hours ago, but now we have some exciting details in relation to iOS 5, which is apparently going to be the next version of Apple’s mobile software. The good news is that the release may not to too far away than you perhaps had expected.

iOS 4.3 has brought notable new features to users, including a personal hotspot feature for the iPhone 4, Home Sharing via iTunes 10.2 , new AirPlay features and also improvements to the Safari browser.

However, version 5.0 of the software is thought to be coming in April, at another of Apple’s media events, which is yet to be announced. New features will apparently include iTunes cloud storage and a revamped version of MobileMe, as reported from Redmond Pie.

Considering we have only just got our hands on iOS 4.3, it does seem a bit farfetched that iOS 5 could be arriving as early as next month. So perhaps with this in mind, you should take these rumors with a pinch of salt. Of course, we hope it’s true as a bump up to 5.0 instead of iOS 4.4 should theoretically mean bigger and better features for users.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think iOS 5 will release next month or is it too soon?
