The Newest iPad and iPhone Features in iOS 6
Apple’s new iOS 6 operating system, available this fall, will bring some significant improvements to the iPhone and iPad.
Some of the most notable changes are to Siri. She will be able to open apps, pull up sports scores and stats, and even make restaurant reservations through Open Table. Siri will also be able to integrate into the hands-free systems of many vehicles.
A new application called Passbook can organize movie and sporting event tickets, store membership cards, retail coupons and airplane boarding passes. You can even use Passbook to check in for a flight, buy movie passes and redeem coupons.
The new iOS will also have its own mapping app with real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation spoken by Siri. Maps are vector based which means graphics and text are incredibly detailed. You can tilt and rotate to view an area and the Maps app will keep the names of streets and places where they belong.

People who use Facetime will also be pleased to see that it will be available over 3G cellular networks with the new iOS. This is a big improvement over the WiFi limitation of the past.
Facebook is also more fully integrated with the new iOS. It will be linked to Calendar. You can also seamlessly share photos to Facebook right from Camera or Photos or post your location right from Maps. Siri can even post for you.
These are some of the most notable features. iOS 6 will also have hundreds of other new capabilities, all making the iPhone and iPad even more manageable and maneuverable. It will be available this fall for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch fourth generation, iPad 2, and the new iPad. However, many of the newest features, including Siri and cellular network access to Facetime, will only be available on the iPhone 4S and the newest iPad.
