Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2012 has started moments ago and one of the things Apple has announced that most people are looking forward to is iOS 6.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to receive on the next update:
Siri Enhancements
• You can ask Siri the score of a game (e.g. NBA, NFL) and she’ll be glad to give you an answer. I doubt Siri is going to cover PBA.
• Can provide player stats.
• Can provide restaurant info through OpenTable and Yelp.
• Movie info through Rotten Tomatoes
• Siri can launch apps.
• Car integration
• Will be available to the iPad
Facebook Integration
• Easier posting of statuses, photos, locations, Safari websites, etc, on Facebook. All accessible from the Notifications Center
• Events and birthdays will automatically show in the Calendar.
Enhanced Phone App
• Lets you reply to a missed call with a text message or just remind yourself to call back.
Do Not Disturb
• Stops the phone from bothering you with push notifications or text messages during a set time period. In other words, it prevents people from annoying you during your quiet times without putting your phone in Airplane mode.
FaceTime over Cellular Data
• You can now use FaceTime over cellular networks and not just WiFi.
Passbook
• A mobile digital wallet of your tickets, coupons, gift cards, etc.
All new Maps
• Local business search built into maps
• Yelp integration
• Anonymous, real-time traffic info from iOS users
• Turn by turn navigation
• Siri integration
• 3D mapping
• Doesn’t have anything similar to Google’s StreetView but has the Flyover (aerial view).
Will support iPhone 3GS and later, 2nd and 3rd Gen iPad (No support for the 1st Gen iPad) iOS 6 will be released in the later part of this year.

@Papapau:
Thanks for that detailed reply! :)
Anyway, there are rumors na regarding Motorola Droid Fighter/Motorola Droid Razr HD.
Sabi nila, it combines the super thin body of the Razr and the battery of the Maxx.
Now, that’s a killer phone!

the best feature will be “BLUETOOTH”

Papapau says:
Still, iOS is playing catch-up with Android features.. well that should really be the game since iOS lost on best user experience platform this 2012..
iOS is what Apple wants it to be, Android on the other hand is, well, what you make out of it..
Not forcing you to switch, just some people’s eyes, sayang ang galing at hilig sa Tech.. ^^
Hmmp! says:
As an iPhone user*
Hmmp! says:
Still, iOS is solely for Apple products while Android ICS is for Samsung, etc.
As I’m using iPhone, I don’t really care if meron na nyan sa Android ICS since I’m not using Android phones naman. Wala din naman akong plano magswitch.
Hmmm.. says:
Tumpak! xD
Kung maka.asta ang isa jan parang iPhone user!
Walang paki.alamanan please.. Kung ayaw mo sa iOS eh di ayaw! Hindi ka naman ang makikinabang sa iOs 6 kundi kami noh!!
Papapau says:
Haha! ano na nangyari sa angas mo kanina? sore dumb response na lang..
I think I even know iOS better than you do kaya nakaka-pag compare ako.. Eh ikaw?
“ice cream sandwich my a$s” – Hmmm..
ikaw nagsimula diba? base saan yang post mo? sa devoted passion sa Apple lang? lololol!
wala ka pa ring counter argument pre.. tampurorot na lang? don’t bash if you don’t want to be bashed harder. Besides, walang pagmamalaki OS mo.. nyahaha!
Nino says:
Ang hirap pala mag-iwan ng comment dito, palaging may palaban! Easy easy lang sana ang pagshare ng opinion.
Papapau says:
Can’t defend your beloved OS now? yup. that’s how it’s gonna be. Kahit gustuhin ipagmalaki, hindi kaya.. Apple magde-decide, unlike us..
ok lang, mukhang konyito naman tingin sa inyo ng non-smartphone users eh, pa-impress-an nyo yung mga bata at mga lola, elib pa rin sa iphones yun, pag samin kasi basag yan.. Hohoho!
Benchmark says:
reading some post here… it reminds me way back college days na wala namang ios or android mga phone. Just plain call and SMS.
There is no 100% perfect OS, it’s just for you to accept or like what you have, and accept the flaws, regardless it was a copy cat or not. Sila sila din naman ang nagkokompyahan ng nagagawa ng OS nila eh.
I may be an android user, but I don’t compare it with IOS…if I did, walang katapusang compare yan.
Bash here, bash there. Soon you will realize, “Maka call lang ako, maka-sms lang ako, maka-net lang ako, maka-take pictures lang ako, maka music lang ako…masaya na ako.”
just my idea ;)

Papapau says:
Di ko plan ipagpalit ang 7.1mm para sa MAXX, well, sa porma kasi ako.. self preference.. ^^
ay baka isipin nyo walang negative ang RAZR, meron.
– Makukuha attention ng Snatchers from iPhone4S papunta sayo.
– Locked Bootloader #OPMOSH #OPMOSH2, deal breaker for few, pero madugo to para sa few na yun.. read more na lang.. wala din naman pakealamam users ng any phone bout jan 90% of the time.. hehe
Papapau says:
Solid can take any task you throw at it.
– My Jumpgate(Livewallpaper) is always on,
– Data always on..
– GPS always on..
– cpu clocked at 1350mhz
– 422 apps installed, some are bg sync(dropbox, pocket, data manager, fb, tw, gotya!)
– Motorola Social services activated (Built in FB,TW,LN,LIVE)
– Built in media player displays lyrics and can be connected to Webtop via hdmi cable sa tv.
– Besides, you’ll gonna download new music apps din naman like WinAmp, PowerAmp (bought)
– Camera is good and I have 6 camera apps, preferred for daily use are Camera360 and CameraZoomFX(bought).. you can use volume buttons to shoot.
1750mhz battery lasts for 5hrs sakin, everything always on, 16-20hrs if casual usage.. pero no hassle naman kasi i bought a “6000ma” portable charger available at… tentenenen.. CDRKING for 900 petot! ^^
1st post in the morning kaya hype pa, sorry. ^^
Marcelino says:
Nice! Hahahaha OO, 25k mo talaga. Nakakaiyak makasira ng mahal na gadget.
By the way, multimedia-wise, ok naman ba siya? Like camera and music?
Natetempt ako sa MAXX pare. 3300mAh! Wooooo! :))
benchmark says:
Well, yup it just look so fragile lang kasi manipis sya, yet i know its kevlar and corning, still ayaw ko syang mahulog. Hehehe once it fell from my bed about a foot high, kinabahan ako kasi it fell front face, sabi ko pa, 25k ko! Sira na… but when i pick it up, nadumihan lang :) and somewhat i feel the relief and secured na matibay nga siguro phone ko…hehehe still i have doubts pa din kasi nga ang nipis tlga. Hehehe
Sometimes sa MRT, i cant resist showing it of the mga passengers dun! Hahaha proud lang tlga ako sa moto ko. And, lalo na when I am wearing moto shirt plus my moto bluetooth headset. Hahaha (sorry im getting overboard! Hehehe)
I don’t really recommend this phone due to its battery, siguro if motorola droid razr maxx pa, nah! If nasira yun phone ko ngyn, sure thing yun ang pamalit ko dito….wag lang talaga masira ito or manakaw…
(Just a happy owner of Motorola Droid Razr here! Hehehe)
Marcelino says:
@Benchmark:
I appreciate your reply. But Papapau is right. It is not fragile because of its top-of-the-line materials. Damn, having Kevlar on your phone is like WOW.
@Papapau:
Yeah, sobrang angas ng Razr. May nakasabay ako one-time sa elevator. He’s using his Razr at hindi ko naiwasang mapatingin =))
Glad to hear that it’ll be getting its ICS update this June.
Papapau says:
Additional kay benchmark..
yep it looks so fragile, but its not. Corning Gorilla glass (front), Kevlar® Armor Fiber (back), aluminum 10x stronger than steel (side)
And 7.1mm compared sa 9.6mm ng iPhone.. best of all sa tulad kong maporma, 95% guaranteed, lahat ng naka iPhone4S eh mapapa-silip sa phone mo pag hugot mo.. ^^
performance? i’ll be getting ICS this June and we now know that ICS won GOLD on Best OS Platform 2012.. so that’s about it..
benchmark says:
Yes marcelino, i am using motorola droid razr. Imo i did the right choice. Though my choice is samsung and motorola, i was told by my officemate to choose moto for the build of samsung is plastic. I’m a former samsung user, samsung star, but I like motorola more. :) i’ve been a fan of motorola ever since.
Anyway about razr, the only flaw of this phone is the battery and it looks so fragile. :) also the phone depreciates so fast unlike iphone. (Well the reason behind it is that Moto and other competitors have different flagship phones unlike apple, they only release one iphone model per year/cycle.)
Marcelino says:
I remember my very first phone back in elementary. It was Nokia 3210. Ang tibay. Walang tatalo sa Nokia sa tibay e :))
Benchmark, di ba Motorola RAZR ang phone mo? I read your comment sa isang post dito.
Ok ba yung phone? Dapat kasi yun yung bibilhin ko before. iPhone 4S ang binili ko eh. :))
Guest says:
True that! Dati nga diba “battle of the brands”.
Nokia, SE, Samsung etc. Tapos main selling point kung ano feature sets nung phones, hindi yung OS.
Ngayon battle of the Operating Systems na. Tapos pag android pa, tanong agad, latest OS out of the box ba?
jonaflormicfren says:
Nice, its innovator has some brilliant ideas.
Marcelino says:
Are you with us?
Ang cocorny nga nung mga so-called “BAGO”-ng features eh!
Disappointed talaga ko.
android my ass says:
haters gonna hate and android’s still buggy. ice cream sandwich my a$s
Papapau says:
“A clearer picture of the crash rates can, therefore, be seen if the crashes are represented as percentage of crash per app launch. This removes the discrepancy due to the greater number of iOS apps.”
Stop defending and start accepting.. besides.. you still dont have a counter argument for my response to your “ICS your A$s” thing.. GOLD FOR BEST PLATFORM..
bumait ka ata.. tanggal angas noh pre? wala na.. PLAYING CATCH-UP na lang pinagmamalaki mo. Hohoho!
Hmmm... says:
http://digitizor.com/2012/02/03/ios-android-crash/
80% is a staggering amount, but it does not tell the actual story. Crittercism tracks three times as many iOS apps as the number of Android apps. So, it makes sense that the number of iOS crashes they have tracked is far more than that of Android.
Papapau says:
Found it!
“ICS just got nominated for best interface…
… and it WON GOLD PRICE FOR BEST PLATFORM!”
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-wins-gold-prize-best-platform-experience-parsons-2012-ux-awards
Ignorance is a bliss..
Blind sighted ignorant people gonna stay ignorant.. yeah, that’s you again alright.
Papapau says:
Android is buggy? iOS crash a lot more than android..
http://digitizor.com/2012/02/03/ios-android-crash/
ICS your black tush?
ICS just got nominated for best interface..
YUP. and blind sighted dumb people gonna stay dumb.. yes, i’m talking about you.
satan is the name of god says:
pinalitan din kaya nila yung wallpaper? lol
Jess says:
may mga bagong wallpapers! xD
Papapau says:
Hintay ka lang pre. kokopyahin din ng Apple yang livewallpaper, siguro 3 years from now.. Hohoho!
paul e. says:
It’s compatible with 3Gs? Yahoo! No need for me to buy a new phone. ;)
Mr. Serious says:
Pag apple events laging may mga comparisons against ICS. tulad ng: “matagal na may ganyan ICS” o kaya “mas maganda ganyang feature ng ICS” nakalimutan ata ng mga tao na sa dami ng Android devices 7% lang dun ang naka ICS, karamihan pa eh hindi na makakakuha ng upgrade (unless cutom ROM). Alam naman natin ung pinanggalingan ng Android atsaka pinagsimulan. Let Apple be Apple, and Android be Android.
Papapau says:
I have a response for these yesterday ah.. about 3 solid paragraphs long.. mapapabura kayo ng post nyo ehehe, at tutupi kayo.. blabbers lang statements nyo eh.. easy to defend.. weak.. ^^
Hey Yugatech, what happened?
stan the man says:
exactly! kung gusto nyo ng android eh di mag android kayo, kung ios eh di ios. bashing a certain os won’t make your OS the best. pareho lang sila may pagkukulang and they’re designed that way. dami kasi masyado nagmamagaling “mga techy” wala naman masyadong alam, wala na lang pakialaman ng os. kung san ka masaya dun ka na lang. no need to bash.
peter says:
tumpak sir. pasalamat nalang tayo at may free software upgrades. may updates nga lang talaga na hardware-dependent. Mas magalit tayo sa Apple kung available lang lahat ng OS upgrades sa new models ng devices nila. Ayaw ng Apple na hayaan maiwan ang previous customers nila. Pero at the same they’ll leave a room for dissatisfaction. Where this will be fulfilled only when they upgrade to new models. That’s business. :)
Eduardo G. says:
the feature of “SIRI coming to the ipad” turned me down after this, siri will only be available to Iphone 4s and ‘new’ ipad.. bummer! aren’t the older gens of the ipad and iphone (+ ipods) not capable? theyre putting so much into the newly released products so that more people would switch to it, i hope app developers can create another siri, available for all.. or go jailbreak? hmmm.. but then the Maps surely will challenge google maps.
Ids says:
i have a ip42 with iOs 5.1, having terrible battery and over heating issues with it. Sana ginawan nila ng improvement dito sa iOS6 mga issues na ito.
rafraf says:
Don’t worry. iOS6 will surely include bug fixes. Siyempre Apple wouldn’t publicize this early ang mga ganitong issues. Iba ang bugs or issues compared to new features.
Nino says:
But i got to say iOS has now caught up with some of the best features of Android – maps with navigation, fb integration, video calling on cellular all baked in. I’m now considering getting an iphone.
Papapau says:
“FB Integration for a while now”
– Linawin lang natin.. not for a while, but “since DAY ONE.”
“Kaya nga sabi ko “caught up on some†lang eh”
– Hindi pa rin caught up, kundi still catching up. hindi naman inabutan eh.
At hindi yun ang BEST features.. normal features lang yang kino-caught up nila.
Nino says:
Papapau: Kaya nga sabi ko “caught up on some” lang eh. I know Android had the FB Integration for a while now (which I’m using) so it is nice to know this is now also available in iOS. Ok?
Papapau says:
Caught up? haha! all half a** baked features copied.. fb integration? eh sa android, integrated to any apps that can handle your request.. ANY APP, not twitter and fb lang..
tapos sandamakmak nanaman bago sa android, next year nanaman ibibigay ng iphone? geez..
calvin says:
most of the non-Siri and Facetime enhancements are already available to Android. *yawn* Wish they could’ve come up with something more spectacular than these.
Papapau says:
No one is forcing you naman din to switch ah..
Were just stating the facts..
That iOS has introduced *yawn* complete RIP-OFFS from Android again.. And oh, half baked pa..
1. Turn-by-turn, checked, but gmaps has offline maps pa.. Boom!
2. FB (and TW) integration, but “share” button of Android will give you a LIST of ALL the apps that can handle your request.. ALL ang not just those 2.
3. Dami pa, 200 new RIPPED-OFF features from android yun eh..
Prove me wrong, just stating some facts.
batibot says:
no one’s forcing you to buy any apple products, if you think that android’s better *yawn* then stay with android.
jozef says:
another feature was call back message, same with ICS. When you decline/reject a call you will be given option to send a message or create a reminder.
more features here: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/
Reader says:
This was available to nokia phones long time ago. Same with the hdmi on macbook now. It was available on my cheap laptop years ago.
luiboowee says:
The Passbook apps provides a room for NFC technology. I don’t think this is GPS-based. Kasi daw, when you arrive in a movie house, for example, the Passbook app will be launched automatically then instantly show your purchased tickets. Same goes with the coupons you’ll redeem from a certain deal. I really think the 6th gen iPhone will feature this NFC technology. From the word itself palang, Passbook, parang other word for “wallet”. Think of the possibilities: Sureseats, Groupon, Jollibee, BDO, Ticketnet/Ticketworld, etc.
If some people predict that phones can replace ATMs and credit cards, we might also see our devices replace coupons, tickets, and even passports. hehehe.
Papapau says:
Bakit lalayo pa kayo, eh those features eh meron na sa high end Android phones dito sa pinas.
Eto nga meron ng tectiles na kahit ilan pwede mo ire-program sa pang araw2 na buhay mo..
http://www.talkandroid.com/116430-samsung-introduces-tectiles-nfc-tags/
Grabe naman kung mag-predict, bat hihintayin mo pa sa iOS eh ang dami ng ganyang technology na nangyayari bout NFC? Kase iPhone pa rin #1?
If interested ka sa ganyan, bakit anjan ka? Napapaisip lang ako.. ganda mga pananaw mo eh.
Dundundundun says:
Those features are already in japanese mobile phones for a long time.
Marcelino says:
Nagpaka-puyat ako last night for this.
Medyo na-disappoint ako. Those features should’ve been added umpisa pa lang.
iOS is getting boring. :|
Benchmark says:
Probably because Steve Jobs is no more…
I may not be an apple fan nor an apple user (though I gave my son ipod touch but never tried to update it coz he might loose all his games there~jailbroken) but I think ios, IMO, lack luster nowadays.
Those features are not new other platforms.
luiboowee says:
You forgot to mention Photo Stream sharing with comment features, sir. hehe. And, you can now “like” an app in app store.
Louie says:
Thanks for sharing this sir. :) Katulad ni sir Marcelino, puyat-puyat din ako dito kagabi. LOL
Robby says:
No exciting new features for me. So even if the 3rd gen iPod touch is not supported, it is just fine.
