Why each option
iOS 5 introduced the ability to perform over-the-air (OTA) updates and backups without needing a tethered connection to a computer running iTunes.
iOS devices cannot dual boot Android or any other operating system due to Apple's closed hardware and software ecosystem.
iOS is a mobile operating system and does not support running native PC (x86/x64) desktop applications.
The ability to perform iTunes backups existed in versions prior to iOS 5 and is not a new feature introduced in iOS 5.
iOS 5 was the first version to support untethered OTA software updates and iCloud backups, removing the requirement for a USB connection to a Mac or PC running iTunes. This was a major feature introduction that allowed devices to update and back up wirelessly. Prior to iOS 5, all updates and backups required a physical iTunes connection.
Concept tested: iOS 5 OTA update and iCloud backup feature
