Rumor: Apple Announce iOS 5.0 in Early April

Apple said to announce the fifth iteration of iOS (iOS 5.0) sometime in early April, according to a report by German site Macerkopf.de (Google Translation) — who cites an unnamed source. Apple is expected to hold a media event at its headquarters in Cupertino, California in order to showcase the upcoming iOS 5.0 as well as revamped MobileMe services.

While we cannot verify the validity and legitimacy of this claims, the rumor coincides with the announcement of iOS 4.0 — which took place on April 8 of 2010. However, as with other unofficial information, we should take this report with a grain of salt.

Apple was originally expected to announce iOS 5.0 at the iPad 2 event last week. Unfortunately, the event was exclusively focused on the second generation iPad and iOS 4.3.
