Each new beta reveals a little more about the changes everyone can expect after iOS 5 is released to the public in a few months. There is one big change that Apple hasn't said a lot about publicly and developers might be surprised by it."</em></p><p><img height="155" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1313967646.usr105634.jpg" width="600" /></p><p>The surprise is that Apple is going to remove access to the UDID or unique device identifier for developers to use. So what it means is that developers will have to come up with their own way to identify unique users. So what are your thoughts, has Apple taken privacy too far or is this a smart move? </p>
