iPhone 5 Expected to Integrate iCloud

The iPhone 5 is expected to integrate Apple's new iCloud, which is reportedly spanning across several services.

iCloud seems to be the name for Apple's upcoming Web services push. Apple was yesterday reportedly purchasing the iCloud name, and AppleInsider today reports that the name is already used by Apple internally for several services.

Sources are telling the blog that Apple will show off beta versions of iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion ahead of WWDC in June. The iCloud will for instance enable users to sync and store much of the same information they currently can with the MobileMe service. At a bare minimum, the iCloud will be an improved and re-branded version of the current MobileMe service. The iCloud could possibly end up including new aspects not provided by Apple before too, such as social photo sharing.

The iPhone 5 is expected to make its debut with iOS 5 and iCloud integration at some point in the second half of 2011. Earlier reports have suggested that the iPhone 5 will be released in late September or early October.
