Apple announces iOS 6.

   

Apple recently announced that they will be releasing the much awaited iOS 6 this week.

iOS or i operating system is an operating system created by apple. About twice a year apple releases a new, better one to upgrade their products such as iPhone and iPads .



One of the main highlights in iOS 6 is passbook.


With Passbook, you can scan your iPhone or iPod touch to check in for a flight, get into a movie, and redeem a coupon. You can also see when your coupons expire, where your concert seats are, and the balance left on that all-importantly 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.



Another very helpful feature is Siri



Siri has been there in the iPhone 4s but now it gets even better. Ask Siri for the scores of a match navigation while driving by voice, where are good movies currently going on. And now it supports dozens of languages like Italian, mandarin, Japanese and Spanish to name a few.

The new iOS also updates other apps such as maps, photos, safari, Face Time, and mail.


iOS 6 will support iPhone 3GS , iPhone 4 , iPhone 4s , iPod touch  4th generation, iPad 2 and iPad 3.

However Siri will only work with iPad 3 and iPhone 4s.
