Apple already giving the green light to iOS 5 apps

Apparently, the list of iOS 5-compatible apps in the Apple App Store has already started to grow. How do we know? Well, at least several apps have been spotted there with iOS 5 compatibility mentioned among their features. That includes the Mashable! app, which has it clearly written in its description and the Camera+ app, which cleverly makes a reference to “that upcoming OS That Must Not Be Named.”

So, now that we have a clue indicating that Apple is already approving iOS 5 apps, does that mean that the new firmware is launching alongside the iPhone 5? Although it does not quite guarantee that, seeing the next iPhone iteration launching with iOS 5 on board now sounds a bit more plausible. The majority of rumors indicate the the iPhone 5 will be launching as soon as next month so it might not be that long until we know for sure.

If you happen to come across other iOS 5-compatible apps, do not hesitate to let us know by dropping a comment.
