iOS 6 For iPhone, iPad And iPod touch Will Be Released On September 19

At their special media event, Apple today has announced the final availability iOS 6.
Having first been given the once-over at WWDC ’12, Apple has presented us with a full-on showcase of its brand-new mobile operating system, known as iOS 6. As well as the features we’ve already seen, there were other new and exciting implementations on show, and here, we take a moment to sum up some of the most exciting of them.

Scott Forstall, Apple’s Senior Vice President of iOS, was on-hand as usual to deliver the news, and rounding up features old and new, here’s a roundup of iOS 6.

• Passbook - Passbook is exclusive to the iPhone and iPod touch, acting as a one-stop for all of your vouchers and coupons. Having a pocket full of shredded paper is never an organized way to live, and even if you like to keep things tidily in a wallet or purse, Passbook’s digital nature will ensure you never lose another important pass or ticket again.
• Siri - With iOS 6, Siri learns a number of new tricks. You can now use to Siri to check for latest sports updates, movies running in the theatres nearby, ability to tweet on Twitter, update Facebook status and lots more. Siri is now also supported on the third-generation iPad.
• New Maps - One of the earliest implementations revealed of iOS 6 was the new, in-house Maps feature from Apple, and with 3D mapping and turn-by-turn directions available optionally, it’s no wonder Apple has been hasty in removing Google’s reliable Maps offering from iOS finally.
• Facebook Integration - Facebook is the world’s number one social network, and following on from the Twitter integration with iOS 5, Zuck’s company has finally gotten its own intertwined system within the makeup of iOS 6. If you’ve familiarized yourself with the Twitter integration then this is pretty standard stuff, and you’ll find day-to-day tasks like updating your status or logging in to be stress-free and simple.
• Revamped Calling System - Apple has finally realized that not everybody wants to answer every received call, but iOS 6 has amended the entire structure. Now, if you’re not in the mood to talk, you needn’t just decline, since you can reply with an SMS, or simply create yourself a call-back prompt for later on in the day.
  
  Additionally, the Do Not Disturb option means you can enjoy using your device uninterrupted, and if you so wish, you can easily whitelist some contacts exempt from the rules.
• Other features -

1. VIP Mail
2. Guided Access
3. Photo Stream Sharing
4. Redesigned Stores
5. Support for Baidu Search

iOS 6 will be available for all the supported devices (except for the newly announced ones): iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, and Apple TV – on September 19.
