As you all know, Apple's WWDC 2012 is this monday, and everyone just can't wait for it! You must be so excited like I am! Lol. So, Apple will probably be releasing a new version of their OS. The iOS 6. And this will have a whole new set of features and I'd like to tell you what to expect in it! :)
- First of all, the UI theme will be changes a bit on the basis of colors. From blue and blue stripes, to silver, much like the iPad. This is a cleaner look, fitting completely with Apple’s mantra of getting the hell out of the way and let the content and apps do the talking.
- Second, a major improvement by Apple. 3D Maps :D Google is out now. Apple will have created a new Maps app and it will be in 3D.
- Automatic app updates! I believe this is finally coming in iOS 6. :D
- An iCloud keychain that syncs with your iOS devices and your Mac computers
- Cloud tabs to let you open any tabs you have open on your desktop browser in the iOS browser.
- Facebook integration at the OS-level, just like Twitter — post photos and videos to Facebook, possibly check in as well.
- Location-based profiles/actions. This is a little bit of a stretch, but with Apple’s use of geofencing, I don’t think this is an impossibility. I would scream to have my phone customize different settings like ringers, Bluetooth and more based on my location. Apple may also add a notification silencing feature that is location and/or time-based.
- Siri for iPad.
- Expanded Siri functions, possibly including API access for third-party developers. This is a big challenge, but it should come sooner or later.
- AirPlay: 1080p mirroring.
- Live app icons. If Apple isn’t going to do widgets (though the company still may, at some point), a less resource-intensive way of showing updates on the home screen could come in the form of customizable icons or live app icons.
- Inter-app communication — this would finally solve the issue of apps not being able to share data with each other. It would still be sandboxed, but would solve a bunch of headaches that make iOS in some ways still feel like a mobile OS, and not just an OS.
- Unified omnibox in the browser for URL and search.
- New multitouch gestures, possibly two finger swiping.
- Improved multitasking interface and UI.
- Widgets in notification center (another possible compromise between home screen widgets and nothing new on this front).
- Improved email, maybe even multiple signatures, with a default for each account?
Well I guess thats it!
