Is This iOS 5? Dunno, But It’s Likely The Right Idea

6 June 2011

Notifications that come down from the top bar could be how Apple ends up doing things in iOS 5. After all, this would mimic already existing functionality — when tethering, a blue strip appears along the top; when on the phone, it’s a green strip. Might notifications (or at least Twitter notifications) produce a gray strip?

Should have blogged about this earlier – this is how I’ve thought Apple would improve notifications for ages, as it shouldn’t require any modifications to any apps out there at the moment (as in theory they should be able to cope with the double height status bar already).
