On today’s WWDC 2012 Keynote, Apple announces an update on their iOS Architecture -iOS6. Apple’s mobile OS has around 200 new features as reported which will take our iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch on a new level of performance.

Here are the list of updates on the new iOS:

MAPS

The new Maps has been redesigned and added some features like Flyover wherein you can view places from the air and Turn by Turn Navigation which allow Maps to speak for your current location up to your destination.

SIRI

Siri supports more languages and in more countries now and is available to the latest iPad. Another thing is that Siri can now search movie schedules and reviews as well as open all applications on your iOS device.

FACEBOOK

Just like what they did with Twitter, Apple have integrated the biggest Social Networking Site in the world on your iOS devices. You can now easily share photos directly from your camera or photos by signing in to facebook once.

SHARED PHOTO STREAMS

Share photos to your desired recipients by just one click.

PASSBOOK

Passbook allows you to keep your boarding pass, tickets, retail coupons, loyalty cards and more all in just one place. You can just wake your iPhone or iPod and scan your ticket to board on the plane.

FACETIME

FaceTime now works not just on WiFi but also on Cellular Networks.

PHONE

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.

MAIL

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.

SAFARI

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. Safari now saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can’t connect to the Internet.6 And when you’re posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video — or choose from your Camera Roll — without leaving Safari. When you really want to see the whole picture, turn your iPhone or iPod touch to landscape and tap the full-screen icon to view web pages without distractions.

ACCESSIBILITY

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. It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen. VoiceOver, the revolutionary screen reader for blind and low-vision users, is now integrated with Maps, AssistiveTouch, and Zoom. And Apple is working with top manufacturers to introduce Made for iPhone hearing aids that will deliver a power-efficient, high-quality digital audio experience.

iOS6 will be available in the Fall.
