Also but there are plenty of features Apple didn’t add to the latest version of its mobile operating system.

iOS 6 Features you might have Missed
We’ve picked some stunning iOS 6 features that should matter to you the most. Here are just a few of the stand-out features that you can look forward to when the new update ships this fall.(remember that there are more than 200 features). Below screen shot indicates some improved fratures of IOS 6.
iOS 6 Features you might have Missed
As you seen the above Apple ios 6 improved features screenshot, let me explain one by one in more details. I mentioned below only important features. So if you have tried more facility, mention them via comment.
Siri - Get Even more
Siri keeps being updated. The cover version on iOS 6 will sports scores and stats. You raise what was the score for the Giants and she can reply that they were downed by the Rangers. it'll conjointly tell you regarding batting averages. Siri is being integrated with Yelp and Open Table. you may raise for a decent Italian restaurant near you and she will tell you regarding the simplest ones using Yelp information and permits you to form a reservation along with your voice using Open Table.
It's will also bring movies with IMDB for reviews and information, and Fandango for tickets. You can ask for a movie that stars your favorite star or director, and she will find them out for you. The result screen is quite nice, with integrated Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I wonder how much more useful this will make Siri. Would people use it more now that it has some neat integration with these useful services? Tell us in the LabStrike comments.
Apple's Maps - Take Your New Turn
It goes without saying that this is a dagger in the heart of Google. Apple and Google have been friction-filled partners for years, with Google's map data populating iOS throughout. But all of that changes with iOS 6. A Googlefied version of its mapping system will surely still be available in the App Store, but the default option will be one cooked up by Apple. Here's what you need to know:
- iOS 6 Maps uses TomTom mapping and traffic data
- No mass transit or walking options were listed in the beta
- Siri will hook into these maps, and turn-by-turn vehicle navigation is included for free
- Crowd-sourced information will enable traffic alerts to be near-real time
- No offline mode was talked about, though Google's Maps for iOS will include offline mapping in the coming weeks
3D "Flyover" maps will add a new dimension, but will only work on the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the new iPad; older models won't support the advanced graphics. Also Maps will work even in the lock screen; perfect for use in car mounts.
Photo Sharing with iCloud
Sharing photos online is not more a problem anymore, you do not have to worry about your storage space and you can share your memorable images as many times as you want to. You can do this by sharing pictures over iCloud on any device with iOS 6 operating system.
The streaming element comes from the fact that you can dynamically add or remove photos from a shared album and they will almost appear or disappear on demand. Album viewers can also comment and like your photos, and you'll receive push notifications any time someone does so.
Mail - New Email Experience
The Mail app has also been updated to include new features. One of them is VIP – marking certain contacts whose emails are important for you as VIPs. Once enabled, VIP emails are easier to find, and once they’re pushed to the iOS device, they appear right on the screen just like a text message notification. A VIP and a Flagged mail box will also available inside the Mail app.
Moreover, iOS device users will be able to insert email and video right inside the compose window starting with iOS 6 and open password protected documents right on the device.
Face Time - Works on Mobile networks
It’s been a long time coming, but Apple’s FaceTime will work over 3G and 4G networks with iOS 6. The FaceTime app lets you do video chatting between Apple devices but some have felt it was limited because you had to be on WiFi. During the WWDC 2012 keynote, Apple said that will no longer be the case once iOS 6 comes out. People will now be able to reach you via the phone call or with a direct FaceTime call, nearly anywhere you are.
Video calling over mobile networks isn’t anything new but it is nice to have it baked into the iPhone natively. Surely, you have to wonder how much data this will take off and how quickly FaceTime-ing with your friends will blow through your data limit.
Passbook - Access All in One
Another feature that is worth a mention is Passbook. This app will make your device a user-friendly holder for electronic cinema tickets, boarding passes and Starbucks vouchers, all of which use barcodes on-screen. The iPhone will detect if you’re at the airport, for instance, and fish out the relevant electronic documents.
where your concert seats are, and the balance left on that all-important coffee bar card. Wake your iPhone or iPod touch, and passes appear on your Lock screen at the appropriate time and place — like when you reach the airport or walk into the store to redeem your gift card or coupon. And if your gate changes after you’ve checked in for your flight, Passbook will even alert you to make sure you’re not relaxing in the wrong terminal. But if you want to share the Photo with non-Apple device, then you need to upload the photo to your iCloud as web album and share links with the non-Apple user. Any way the all new ios 6 Passbook is gonna to be a helpful feature for ios 6 users. via: apple.com
Safari - Enjoy Your Browsing
IOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud Tabs keeps track of which pages you have open on your devices, so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off on whatever device is handy. Safari now saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can’t connect to the Internet.6 And when you’re posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video — or choose from your Camera Roll — without leaving Safari. When you really want to see the whole picture, turn your iPhone or iPod touch to landscape and tap the full-screen icon to view web pages without distractions.
Another new feature is the ability to add App Banners to a website. This allows developers to easily show-off their native app. Users can touch the banner to get the app — and if, the app is installed, they can go directly to the app and open it up in the right place.
Do Not Disturb - Awesome Feature
Unbelievable? yes, you can tell your device not to disturb you. Firstly, it isn’t the airplane mode and you will receive your calls and messages, but the device will not indicate it through a ringtone or vibration mode. So, the device will ignore all calls and messages, but let me remember, you can view them later as you pull the device out of the Do Not Disturb mode. However, if the user gets a call from the same number about three times in 5 minutes, the feature will reckon it important and indicate the user about it. Ya really how is it? Smart, we must say. This is an outstanding option for anyone who is tired of waking up to a notification only to find out it's their turn.
Call Features - Voicemail, Message and Remind Me Later
Apple improves the overall standard application in iOS 6. Thus, the users now get the option of “Remind Me Later” and the “Reply with a message” facility when any call comes. The auto message like “ I’ll call you later” may even be sent to the particular caller or one can be reminded to even call back in one hour or so, when you get back home, when you leave the work or even when you get to the work. The latest “Do Not Disturb” facility further allows the users to put the phone on sleep. This way, they will not see any message or light when a call comes. One can moreover allow just the calls from the favorite people or even block the repeated calls.
On the other hand I'm sure, will be misused several times. This version looks quite sweet. Any way this will be the new features of your iPhone.
New iPad Smart Case
After this morning’s announcements at the Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple has unveiled the new iPad Smart Case on its website. The new case covers both the front and back of the device, while maintaining the iPad’s thin design. You can use it as magnetic connection, wake to open-sleep on close, keyboard stand, FaceTime and movie stand and more. It will ship in six colors- Grey, Black, Blue, Green, Pink and ‘PRODUCT (Red)’. It also have in polyurethane design as well as leather design. New ipad smart cover offers optional, free laser engraving. It’s available now for $49.
Accessibility - With Guided Access
At WWDC Apple introduced Guided Access, which helps those with learning disabilities remain focused on tasks by restricting touch input on selected screen areas. For people with autism or learning disorders this feature will be very welcome, making the iPad a perfect tool for focused learning. For more information on the iOS 6 Accessibility upgraded features visit the Website of Luiz Perez Blog has more information on the iOS 6 Accessibility upgrades. Here is just an overview of the improved features he explains in his post are given below▼
- Guided Access
- VoiceOver integration with Maps, Zoom and Assistive Touch

Some features may not be available on all products.
Compatibility
You’ll notice it’s only the newest hardware that is fully compatible with most of the major features of the newest iOS, but keep in mind that all supported hardware will be benefiting from the smaller improvements, with things like the iPhones new calling features, Guided Access, Single App mode, Facebook integration, Do Not Disturb, and all of the many more subtle improvements that were demoed at WWDC.
Apple iOS 6 Release
Apple has confirmed that Apple iOS 6 will indeed be releasing in fall this year, September – October this year, and like the previous updates this will be free and can be updated OTA.
- iPhone – 3GS, 4 and 4S
- iPod – 4th Generation
- iPad 2 and new iPad
When you update your device to iOS 6, iTunes will back up all your data first and restore it after the update is done. But iOS 6 doesn’t bring all the features we want, but in using the OS, it keeps Apple four steps ahead of Android as the leader in the mobile world. And that’s even without a new phone also the beta for iOS 6 will go out to developers today, and will be available to consumers in the fall. The OS will work with iPhone 3GS, second and third generation of the iPad later.
