| The iOS 6 Thread
Didnt see a thread yet, so......
WWDC is next week and as usual iOS will be a major topic. So what are we going to see that's new?
- iMaps to replace Google maps?
- Turn by turn navigation?
- Facebook integration?
- Siri coming to other devices?
- Will the 3GS be usable or will it slow to a crawl?

Saw a "screenshot" of iOS6 having Mission Control (swipe upward from bottom).
More excited about new Macbook Pros. If they're good enough, I'm buying one tomorrow. If they're not, grabbing some sort of Ultrabook.

The Google Maps app on ios is pretty bad compared to the Android one, so I can see why they ditched Google and bought one for themselves

Apple is really into milking China's money this time around offering China features and apps in both iOS/Mountain Lion

If they have it at the Apple Store, I'm gonna try to buy the new Retina MBP today. That screen is sick. Wonder how long it will take Adobe Lightroom to have a retina version...or will I have to swap to Aperture?

The retina screen is interesting, but why do you need it so high res? I would've preferred if they just had a 1080p screen (which isn't offered on either the 13" or the 15" macbook pros.
That and glossy screens. I hate them, they're retarded.
and i disagree with doing away with the ethernet port. Yes, everyone has wireless now, but tons of people have shitty wireless routers that doesn't reach everywhere with a strong signal. For speed, I would definitely want to be plugged in, especially if you're at a desk. Optical drives, I still use them, but I can see why they did away with them. It definitely frees up a lot of space.
and it's funny how much they marketed Thunderbolt (which is great, don't get me wrong), but they finally accepted USB 3.0.

I wanted ethernet but you can probably find a good USB to ethernet or thunderbolt to ethernet. It's a thick port so they wanted to scrap it.
I won't miss the optical. I haven't put a DVD into my desktop for at least 5 years.
None available at Richmond Center although they have the new MacBook Air. I think I'll just order online. I want the student discount anyways.

Their map is an exact copy of Nokias 3D Maps
and that's because Apple bought the company that Nokia contracted to make the maps http://maps.nokia.com/3D/
for example http://maps.nokia.com/51.500465,-0.1...,115,45,3d.day

I am looking forward to comparing the accuracy of the new maps app to google maps. If it is not at least 99% accurate, it is a fail. You don't want to be in the middle of nowhere, counting on a map application that is wrong.
