NOTIFICATION CENTER

A much demanded feature (which android had from the beginning), notification center allows users to get all alerts at one place. Now you can keep track of all new text messages, emails, etc by just swiping down a bar from top of the screen to enter the notification center. Whenever you get a new notification it pops in at top without disturbing the app you are currently engaged in. The center is even available on the lock screen.

iMessage
Apple brings a new messaging service called iMessage using which iPad, iPhone & iPod users can send unlimited messages through WiFi / 3G to other users having these devices. When you are messaging someone, the service has the ability to recognize  whether the person is eligible for iMessaging or not and will notify you accordingly. Also, it can track your messages, so you can see if your friend has read your message or not!

Newsstand

iOS 5 has a new feature called Newsstand which organizes your newspaper and magazine app subscriptions and lets you access them quickly and easily, on a fantastic wooden shelf.
Reminders
With this launch of Apple’s own reminder service, users won’t need to download third party apps for a to-do or reminder list. The app showcases two screens.
  1. One screen shows the completed tasks.
  2. The other screen shows pending tasks.
Adding new tasks is an easy 1-tap job. Reminders can also be location based i.e. when you reach a particular location, it will remind you of what to do there.
Like, it can remind you automatically of the groceries you need to buy, once you reach a grocery store.
