Communities Get Support. You can also now update apps without having to enter your password. Minor changes include a new theme for the music player on iPhone, design enhancements to Apple's digital stores, a dynamic menu bar that shifts color depending on the background, and FaceTime over cellular networks.
See a slideshow detailing even more tweaks and updates in iOS 6. Not all models support all features, however. Outside the U. Doing so will make it much, much easier to recover from any problems, if any crop up during the install. Performing an iCloud backup saves all of the data on your device, including details like app placement and settings, to Apple's online servers.

Email : msc ficpa. Main navigation. In driving around a suburban town in New York, Maps was able to quickly find my location and provide directions for wherever I needed. When presented with a challenge, such as veering off of its guided course, Maps was able to seamlessly reroute us and get us back on track.
Apple does have some work to do concerning its map data, however, as the navigation prompted me to perform circuitous U-turns numerous times in places that I could have easily made a left hand turn. On another occasion, the app directed me to make a left hand turn at an intersection where it was recently made illegal to do so, indicating that some of the mapping data may not be all that fresh.
Additionally, when the voice guided navigation is active, it is not possible to interact with the map, meaning you can't pan around to peek ahead at what might be coming up. In New York City, downtown San Francisco, and major cities in Europe, Maps had trouble pin-pointing my location and orienting us properly using the compass.
Where the older system was reliable enough to tell us where the nearest subway station was without issue, the new version failed on numerous occasions. Maps is also far poorer outside of the US — cities like London, Beijing, and Tokyo are virtually blank, and street data is missing for many cities. It's prompted a lot of complaining from users already, and Apple's promised rapid improvements. If you're heavily dependent on iOS 5 maps and you live outside of the US, you might do well to wait on an upgrade to iOS 6.
All that said, the first version of every maps app feels a little incomplete until crowd-sourced data can start filling in the gaps. One assumes that over time, Apple will be able to gather more mapping information and add transit directions. This time around, Siri's been extended to the third-generation iPad and fifth-generation iPod touch, and is available in a number of new locales.
Siri's also gained new powers and performance improvements over the version available in iOS 5. Though still technically considered a "beta," Siri in iOS 6 is faster, more responsive, and has more personality than ever before. Siri now includes the ability to directly display sports scores and standings, provide movie listing information including showtimes, reviews, and trailers, make restaurant reservations through OpenTable, post updates to Facebook and Twitter, and launch third-party apps.
The new sports integration is great for solving barroom arguments, and the movie listings are more convenient and useful than the generic web searches that Siri used to perform. The most useful new item might be the ability to launch third-party apps, which performed flawlessly in my tests.
Say "Siri, open Sparrow," and the Sparrow app comes swinging to the front. No matter how many times I tried, Siri was able to open the app that I had specified in either one or two steps. On the new iPad, Siri launches in a small, iPhone-sized window next to the home button, where its results also appear.
Creating and sharing a stream is pretty straight forward: you just add a new stream to the photo streams tab in the Photos app, add other users' email addresses, and then you can add photos that you want to share from your photo roll. Push notifications are available for when others like or comment on a photo, though it is not possible to like or comment photos in the webview.
The stream is automatically updated for everyone when new photos are added to it, so everyone can see the updated photos immediately. Essentially, Shared Photo Streams are super private social networks for people that you really trust with your photos.
There is nothing stopping a person that has access to the stream from saving a photo and sharing wherever or with whomever they please. Additionally, I would love to see Apple take the feature further than it already has.
As it stands now, only the person that created the stream can add photos to it, but it would be great if it was possible to add contributors with the ability to add photos of their own.
I can see this as being an easy solution for users that want to share photos with other family members with minimal hassle, but it would make much more sense if it were integrated into Facebook. The camera in iOS 6 received a couple small updates. You simply sweep the iPhone horizontally to gather your shot and iOS stitches an image of up to 28 megapixels together.
It is also remarkably fast at processing the panoramic image once the capture is complete. Unfortunately, it will take some time for retailers and service providers to support Passbook, which means that for a while, it will be yet another unused app on the screens of many iPhone owners.
Apple has partnered with some retailers already, such as Target, Walgreens, United, Ticketmaster, Fandango, and more, but at the time of this writing, the support for Passbook was still pretty thin. Walgreens does support Passbook, and it was pretty straightforward to add my loyalty card to my Passbook from the Walgreens iOS app. From there, I was prompted to select my preferred store from a list of options near me locally. Once I had loaded the card, Passbook used a push notification to remind me to use the loyalty card when I arrived at the selected Walgreens location.
Opening the notification launched the card immediately for scanning by the cashier. Unfortunately, the location-based notifications only work for the store that I pre-selected, and Passbook won't prompt me to use my card in a different Walgreens location.
Still, having the barcode for the loyalty card easily accessible keeps another plastic card out of my wallet and off of my keychain.
