All of you (us) Apple fans were super excited about the software that got announced yesterday, but a perhaps bigger issue to keep in mind is: how is this going to effect our work?
Merely a few hours after the iOS 5 beta release, there are some fantastic advancements to check out, namely:
- position:fixed;
- overflow:scroll;
- HTML5 input types
- Web Workers
These are a big deal, and it’s great they’re being implemented. Unfortunately though, just because the latest and greatest iOS will support these features, doesn’t mean we can forget our duty of graceful degradation. There will still be plenty of <iOS5 devices to keep in mind until usage statistics prove otherwise.
