Best new "small" features in iOS 5
Apple says iOS 5 has 200+ new features, and after playing with it for a week I have no doubt there are endless improvements that I'll continue to stumble upon. Here are the 5 that I'm using on a daily basis:
- Bold, Italic, and Underline - press and hold on the word, in the popup click the right arrow and you'll see "B, I, U" which you can use to select your emphasis
- Dictionary - press and hold on any word in any app, click Define
- Photo albums - in Photos, click "edit" and you can move pictures between albums
- Edit photos - in Photos, click a photo, you can crop, remove red-eye, and enhance photos
- Camera - pull your phone out of you pocket, double tap the home butto - and presto - a Camera Icon appears. This allows you to temporarily bypass any passcode so that you can quickly take a photo. Bonus: pressing the volume up button will take the photo now!
If you like those, Chris Hebert at Macstories has a great list of further Tips, Tricks, and Hidden features.
