Apple iOS 6 Launched Includes 200 New Features

Posted by : Cyber Freak Wednesday, 13 June 2012

At WWDC 2012, Apple unveiled the next generation of iOS. iOS 6 sports more than 200 new features and upgrades — including the new Apple Maps, deep Facebook integration and improvements to Siri.
Although iOS 6 won’t be available on compatible devices until sometime this fall, the first beta build is currently available to developers. We’ve installed iOS 6 on our new iPad (64GB Verizon LTE model) and poked around with the new features.

So which Apple users will be eligible to upgrade to iOS 6 when it becomes available this fall?
iOS 6 will be compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S models, the 4th generation iPod touch, the iPad 2 and of course the new iPad.

However, not all features will be available on each of these devices. The Flyover and turn-by-turn navigations that wowed the crowd at WWDC? Only available on the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the new iPad. Ditto for Shared Photo Streams, which will also be compatible on Macs running OS X Mountain Lion.
