Apple iOS 6 Announced With New Features & Facebook Integration

It already became a tradition for Apple lovers to expect new devices from the Cupertino-based tech titan every year. Together with the new hardware is a new software that would usually showcase the very core of the new device. Keeping its word, Apple recently announced iOS 6 which has been scheduled for release this year together with the rumored iPhone 5. In an official press release, Apple boasts of iOS 6 as the most advanced mobile operating system to sport more than 200 new features for iOS lovers and enthusiasts.

It may not be considered as a surprise as millions of people have already been expecting its arrival, the new features it brings would surely satisfy the thirst of those who have been waiting since last year. While we already know that iOS 6 is designed and built to provide better performance for both old and new devices, Apple also seeks to make its presence in the social market even stronger, hence iOS 6 has a new Facebook integration feature that would allow any iOS device owner to easily share anything on their Facebook account. Let’s cut the chase and go immediately the features iOS 6 brings.
New Maps. Apple simply wants to make its maps as accurate as possible, that’s why there have been a lot of addition to the previous version of its Maps app. It now features turn-by-turn navigation and a spectacular new Flyover view feature Apple’s own cartography designs. The new map has become as interactive, informational and real as it can get making it the most accurate mobile map today.
New Siri Features. The Siri app has become more informative than the previous version. This time, Siri can recommend restaurants and movies, or can easily access sports scores. Aside from that, there have been more languages added to its database–Spanish, Italian, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese. You can tell Siri to post on Twitter or even launch an app. In short, Apple wanted Siri to become as intelligent as possible to make it even more useful.
Facebook Integration. Again, I would want to reiterate that Apple wants to make its social presence as strong as possible that’s why the new iOS (6) was given a feature allowing owners to post directly from Notification Center, Siri and other Facebook-enabled apps like Maps, Photos and Safari. Just like other mobile OS developers, Apple find social media an essential part for the success of its devices. With this feature, you can actually tell Siri to post updates on your Facebook account.
Again, there aver over 200 new features and Apple stuffed in its new mobile OS, if we were to put the details of each one of them, it’s like we are writing the manual of the OS. These three I’ve mentioned here however, are the most popular features that iOS device owners would want to know about. But make no mistake, iOS 6 has a lot more than just giving out an accurate location on the map, execute using voice commands or share everything with the new Facebook integration. Security is also one of the most improved feature in this version and it seems like jailbreakers and hackers may need some time to be able to find the flaws.
