What You Need to Know About iOS 6

Apple’s iOS 6 is coming this fall, and the new operating system intends on improving existing features and adding a few interesting new ones. So what will be different? Thomas Claburn of InformationWeek pulled some major changes worth knowing about. Here are some highlights:

  • Adois, YouTube: Apple will not be including the YouTube app in their new OS.
  • Goodbye, RSS: There will no longer be RSS feeds in iOS 6 Safari.
  • New Call/Text Capabilities: The new changes allow you to decline a phone call with preset or custom text messages.
  • FaceTime Wifi-Free:The iOS video messaging service, FaceTime, will also function over a cellular data connection- which means it will probably cost money.
  • Improved Siri: In iOS 6 Siri will be more useful, and will be able to interact with tweets and launch other apps – among other things.
  • New Maps: Apple has purchased three online map companies in the past few years, and iOS 6 maps will depend on apple’s own geographic data.
