Apple Press Releases
  • "Apple Special Event: June 11, 2012/Watch streaming video from the special event." Apple Events 3:28 PM
  • "iOS 6: It will take your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in entirely new directions. iOS 6 gives you more features to make the things you do every day even better. It's coming this fall, and it's free and easy to upgrade wirelessly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — the moment it's available."  Apple 2:03 PM
  • "Apple Previews iOS 6 With All New Maps, Siri Features, Facebook Integration, Shared Photo Streams & New Passbook App: Available to iPhone, iPad & iPod touch Users This Fall" ["iOS 6 will be available as a free software update for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, the new iPad, iPad 2 and iPod touch (fourth generation) this fall.

  • "Apple Previews iOS 6 With All New Maps, Siri Features, Facebook Integration, Shared Photo Streams & New Passbook App" Business Wire 2:20 PM
  • "Maps. Maps take a whole new turn. Beautifully designed from the ground up (and the sky down), Maps will change the way you see the world.1 Map elements are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed — even when you zoom all the way in — and panning is smooth. Tilt and rotate to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong. Get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates. Even soar over cityscapes to see the sights from the air in amazing, high-resolution quality." Apple 2:05 PM
  • "Siri. Sports. Restaurants. Movies. Now ask even more of Siri. With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages, works in more countries, and is available on the new iPad.2 So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and Stats for your favorite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers." Apple 2:05 PM
  • "Facebook. Integrated throughout iOS. You'll definitely Like it. Now it's easier than ever to interact with the world's largest social network. And there's no need to leave your app to do it. Share a photo to Facebook right from Camera or Photos. Post your location right from Maps. Brag about a high score right from Game Center. If you have your hands full, just ask Siri to post for you. You need to sign in to Facebook only once, and you'll be off and sharing." Apple 2:06 PM
  • "Shared Photo Streams. Share select photos with a select audience." Apple 2:11 PM
  • "Passbook. Just the ticket. And the boarding pass, card, and coupon." Apple 2:08 PM
  • "FaceTime now works over cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi, so you can make and receive FaceTime calls wherever you happen to be.4 You can even make and receive FaceTime calls on your iPad using your phone number. That means you can use FaceTime wherever you are, on any device. And never miss another wink, smile, air kiss, or eye roll." Apple 2:08 PM
  • "Phone. Send to voicemail. Reply with message. Remind me later. It's your call. iOS 6 adds new calling features to your iPhone. Now when you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message or set a callback reminder. And when things are just too hectic, turn on Do Not Disturb and you won't be bothered by anyone — except can't-miss contacts like your boss or your better half." Apple 2:09 PM
  • "Mail. An even better email experience. Delivered. Redesigned with a more streamlined interface for easier reading and writing, Mail in iOS 6 lets you set up a VIP list so you'll never miss an important message from your accountant, your boss, or your BFF.5 It's even easier to add photos and videos to email messages. And to refresh your mailboxes, all you have to do is swipe down." Apple 2:09 PM
  • "Safari. Browsing is just the beginning. iOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud Tabs keeps track of which pages you have open on your devices, so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off on whatever device is handy." Apple 2:10 PM
  • "iOS 6 comes with even more features to make it easier for people with vision, hearing, learning, and mobility disabilities to get the most from their iOS devices. Guided Access helps students with disabilities such as autism remain on task and focused on content." Apple 2:10 PM
