Facetime over cellular. Carries are going to LOVE this. Data overages are going to be crazy.

 

[oatmeal]

Fuck yeah. Facetime over cellular is HUGE.

 

[Raitosaito]

FACETIME OVER CELLULARRR

 

[eznark]

Facetime didn't work over 3G? No wonder I've been using skype.

 

[kr2t0s]

I literally just clapped at my desk when he said phone number / apple id are merging!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Apple thought of everything.

 

[Lkr]

No vibration and the screen doesn't light up.

i already disabled vibrate so i guess it won't make a big difference for me. i like that you can allow some calls though

3G FACETIME! TAKE THAT AT&T!

 

[LyleLanley]

Nice, they're unifying phone numbers and apple ID. I hated having essentially two different accounts for my phone and iPad/Mac.

 

[lunarworks]

Ugh. No UI overhaul. Pinstripes are still there.

 

[MrGame&Watch]

Was just watching MSNBC and all they had to say was that they didn't announce a new iPad or iPhone. LOL

 

[Treefingers]

pinstripes firmly in place

why did you do this

 

[gcubed]

vibration? screen lights up? lol?

why does silent vibrate? I Would think silent is... silent

 

[The Elite]

I want everything!!!

 

[Enco]

"Also, we're unifying your phone number and Apple ID. So if someone calls you on your phone number for Facetime, you can answer it on your iPad or Mac. And we're doing the same thing with iMessage."

FUCK. YES.

What if you want to change number though?

 

[Windu]

data caps make facetime over data kinda useless.

 

[LCfiner]

FaceTime just became a lot more useable.

and


"Also, we're unifying your phone number and Apple ID. So if someone calls you on your phone number for Facetime, you can answer it on your iPad or Mac. And we're doing the same thing with iMessage.”

another nice improvement.

 

[dream]

I know old BlackBerry diehards will be like "lol, profiles much?!" but that DND feature sounds like it's so thoughtfully designed.

 

[CrankyJay]

Wish they would let you enter a daily DND time tho...

 

[badcrumble]

Phone number associated with your Apple ID. Finally. FUCKING MEGATON.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

RIP Instapaper

 

[StrikerObi]

Also THANK FUCKING GOD they are unifying AppleID and Phone Number. iMessage is such a mess because they aren't currently.

 

[NekoFever]

yes unifying facetime under the apple id. Hell yes.

Edit: YESSSSS UNIFIED IMESSAGING FINALLY SHEEIT

Seriously, nothing in iOS 6 can top that. So annoying using iMessage across devices otherwise.

 

[planar1280]

AT&T realised not many people do facetime......but now they will

 

[Kurdel]

This is really an incredible update. The wait will be soooo painfull...

 

[mogor]

Unified phone # and Apple ID makes me very, very happy.

 

[brotkasten]

This is boring.

 

[eznark]

RIP Instapaper

Pocket killed it weeks ago

 

[rozay]

pinstripes firmly in place

Worst WWDC ever

Also who wants to bet 3G FaceTime is carrier specific? It'll be great if it isn't. Either way, it's not like Americans have data plans to support normal usage of it.

 

[giga]

why does silent vibrate? I Would think silent is... silent

You can disable it, but I like vibrate in silent so I can tell when i have an alert in my pocket without others knowing.

 

[diffusionx]

AT&T am cry.

It's a dumb restriction. Data is data. People can use their data any way they want.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Kill'n it!

 

[MThanded]

Damn smart app banners.

Android where you at?

 

[LCfiner]

why did you do this

to bathe in your tears




YEEEESSSSSSSSS

"We also adding the ability to upload photos right from Safari to your favorite websites."

 

[dc89]

I get 500MB of data a month on O2 ever since they scrapped the unlimited thing. I run out of data usually a week before it refreshes for the next month.

I will not be Facetiming over the network at all lol.

 

[Hoo-doo]

People's hands are going to be sore from clapping.

 

[Windu]

FaceTime just became a lot more useable.

its still not cross platform, still useless to me.

 

[pxleyes]

It's so...blue.

 

[planar1280]

fucking finally!!! this was my most wanted feature!!!

 

[Phoenix]

Fuck yeah. Facetime over cellular is HUGE.

Now you'll hit your quota even faster. AT&T/Verizon are pleased...

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Good Lawd are they killing it.

 

[AirBrian]

Love the DND mode. This will be very useful.

 

[gcubed]

You can disable it, but I like vibrate in silent so I can tell when i have an alert in my pocket without others knowing.

i honestly don't use iOS... i'm just used to 3 options. Silent/Vibrate/Normal... figured it would be the same

 

[Sean]

iOS 6 bringing some very nice additions so far.

 

[criesofthepast]

Even if i wanted to buy the new macbook, i couldnt. Just got a call from mastercard saying my credit card has been compromised.

 

[Enco]

Photo Stream.

Shared streams.

 

[Marty Chinn]

why does silent vibrate? I Would think silent is... silent

Because the normal use case is you turn your ringer off but you still want to be notified.

 

[MThanded]

Finally shared photo streams.

 

[AVclub]

Do Not Disturb = "Who are you fuckin that you can't answer the phone when I call?"

 

[Cyport]

I get 500MB of data a month on O2 ever since they scrapped the unlimited thing. I run out of data usually a week before it refreshes for the next month.

I will not be Facetiming over the network at all lol.

Same as me, it's terrible I've lost count for all the £5 top ups I've spent.

 

[LCfiner]

Smart app banners — you can have users jump right into the app or to download the app. Sync between web activity and app activity.

maybe it’s just me, but this seems like a big improvement.
