Under a day to go before the main event, and everything thats been seen on the web, i thought i’d do a list of what i’m expecting/hoping to see:
iOS 6
- Maps
- Facebook Integration
- Unified Bar on Safari, as to how it looks on Mountain Lion
- Baidu Search
- Widgets
- Siri API
- Siri Maps outside USA
- Weather Icon changes to location of the phone at last. If you’re in Lincoln, it shows Rain. If in Spain, a Sun.
- Communication between apps. No filesystem, but just better app communication.
- Maybe, a refreshed UI throughout.
From what I’ve seen previously, the features are mostly common sense, i.e, what is the next update that people actually want? When Mountain Lion was announced, iOS 6 features are probably being shown on the 10.8 section on the Apple site. The ‘Do Not Disturb’ notification option perhaps, and more powerful Mail options?
Mountain Lion
- Siri Dictation
- Release Date & Price
Apple TV
- Regarding the new Apple TV OS, there was a new UI only in March, it would be completely nonsensical to me. So i think, perhaps the UI will remain, but an additional option will appear in an update for ‘Apps’.
The next post will be how right or wrong i was based on this 🙂
Looking forward to 6PM tomorrow!
