Support NeoGAF

[Enco]

Release date please.

This month please.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I have some super outdated phone and now is the time for me to upgrade I feel as the phone is really starting to drag me down and just make my experience with it miserable. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait a few more months though until the next iPhone comes out.. Unless you guys think it isn't worth waiting that long for something that might not be a major major upgrade from the 4S. (any new smartphone blows away my current phone I'm sure haha).

worth waiting for

 

[scorcho]

it's great that we'll finally get vector-based maps that, hopefully, will be less bandwidth intensive like it is on Android.

i'm more interested to see if and how much Google decides to bring over their Maps program now that Apple has gone in-house. will they be allowed to? will it offer feature parity with ICS?

i don't care much about the 3D birds-eye rendering. it's all about the speed of getting that initial payload to draw a map on screen and getting directions returned. hopefully this speeds that up a good deal.

 

[criesofthepast]

For it to work offline, you'd probably have to download the map for the area you're in. Which also means Siri won't work.

Apple’s will because they’ll be streaming maps. plus the siri integration needs 3G.

But apps like navigon and tom tom can be used with GPS only. no data.

Ahh right. Damn. I don't have a big enough data plan to use this. (PAYG)

 

[Quick]

Megatons.

Megatons everywhere.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Game Changer

Yeah, this is going to make traffic reports and such so much more accurate.

 

[planar1280]

Will there be a ONE more thing?

 

[Talon]

10 more minutes. What you got, Apple?

 

[impirius]

SDK: Pull-to-refresh for table views.

Nice!

 

[StrikerObi]

Control camera focus and exposure. Camera+ is about to get even better.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

The irony is that all the developers are there so can't update. LOL

 

[Previous]

Lost mode? Lol remote bricking

That isn't a new feature, I wonder whats new in that area.

 

[Lkr]

Apple’s will because they’ll be streaming maps. plus the siri integration needs 3G.

But apps like navigon and tom tom can be used with GPS only. no data.

hopefully they add a GPS only mode for when we are driving in the boonies and need a bit of help

WOW 3GS SUPPORT!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

How do I get in the beta?

 

[Enco]

Beta today.

Ship this fall. Fuck.

3GS and later. 2nd gen iPad. 4th gen iPod.

 

[distantmantra]

So is Siri for iPad an OS update or only in a new iPad "4" or whatever they'll call it? Just bought an iPad 3 two weeks ago.

 

[mclaren777]

For as much as I dislike smartphones, I can now see why so people people choose iPhones.

 

[Windu]

a few nice feature for iOS, doesn't seem like that big of a update though. (when are they going to get rid of that ugly grid of icons?!)

 

[The_Inquisitor]

NO FALL!!!

 

[Jayayess1190]

Yeah transit info!

 

[Crazymoogle]

3GS support. Surprising, I guess it gets one more gen

 

[def sim]

I wanted iOS6 this month. :/

 

[Jafku]

iPhone 3Gs and later, 2nd and 3rd Gen iPad, and iPod Touch 4th Gen

 

[Treefingers]

How do I get in the beta?

Get an iOS developer account.

3GS support surprises me.

 

[Pachimari]

So iOS6 beta starting today, are we doing the same thing this year as last year?

 

[schnell]

Beta today.

Ship this fall. Fuck.

3GS and later. 2nd gen iPad. 4th gen iPod.

 

[JonCha]

No UI resdesign? I'm disappointed.

 

[SephCast]

Wait, I had a dev account last time through GAF, can I get the beta this time?

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

Seriously, Apple is fucking CRUSHING IT here. Competitors are going to be scrambling like never before.

The turn-by-turn maps looks AMAZING. Sell your Garmin/TomTom stock NOW!

Turn by turn matches the most important feature of Gmaps. But if the 3D maps don't have street view, then it would be basically useless.

A huge, useless boondoggle that nobody would ever use. And how does crowd sourced traffic work? Do you opt in for it to send velocity data to Apple whilst you're on the highway? If they expect people to tell Siri every time there is traffic, then nobody will use it.

Apple has made a good effort on this map software but I'm not ready to say they won anything yet.

 

[diffusionx]

Well, it looks like my iPad has hit the end of the road. No surprise. It's pretty sluggish with iOS5.

 

[criesofthepast]

fall. booo. Saving it for iPhone 5.

 

[SRG01]

Apple’s will because they’ll be streaming maps. plus the siri integration needs 3G.

But apps like navigon and tom tom can be used with GPS only. no data.

That's actually something I'm disappointed about. How on earth did Google take so many years to get offline maps, and Apple to launch without it? It's 2012 for crying out loud.

It's brutal when you're traveling and have no data connection. Or if you're in a car without 3G access.

 

[NekoFever]

Can someone explain the Apple ID/Phone number merging like I'm five? I missed it. Why should I care?

At the moment if you send a message to a phone number it'll only go to the phone, even if they have iMessages enabled on their computer or iPad; you have to send it to the email address to send it to all of them. Now iMessages sent to your phone number can go to your other devices.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

No iPad 1 support for iOS6. Guess that puts the nail in the coffin for it with me. Time for new iPad.

 

[StrikerObi]

10 minutes left until 3:00. One More Thing?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Apple fucking destroying it today.
I'm on that iPhone 5 day one.

 

[eznark]

a few nice feature for iOS, doesn't seem like that big of a update though. (when are they going to get rid of that ugly grid of icons?!)

I'm fucking pumped. Maps and toddler proof? I'd pay money for it.

 

[Kosmo]

Una cosa mas! (hoping)

No iPad 1 support for iOS6. Guess that puts the nail in the coffin for it with me. Time for new iPad.

Same here.

 

[Lkr]

a few nice feature for iOS, doesn't seem like that big of a update though. (when are they going to get rid of that ugly grid of icons?!)

eh this has me more excited than any of the features that made me buy an iPhone in the first place

 

[CrankyJay]

Gah, fall? =(

Guess we know when iPhone 5 is hitting then.

 

[Live Free or Die]

booo ios6 not releasing today.

 

[impirius]

3GS support. Surprising, I guess it gets one more gen

I figure it's only because they're still shipping the 3GS.

 

[saelz8]

Have they mentioned a iOS6 release date?

 

[BolognaSoup]

iMacs PLEEEEEEEASE!

 

[Kurdel]

10 minutes left until 3:00. One More Thing?

Don't hold your breath...

 

[Enco]

All that hype being contained for whenever iOS is out.

Fuck this shit.

 

[pxleyes]

Control camera focus and exposure. Camera+ is about to get even better.

I've wasted so much money on camera apps that fake exposure so poorly. No longer!

 

[cyberheater]

Time to upgrade my iPad 1 then.

Odd that it runs on a 3GS but not iPad 1?

 

[JaggedSac]

You could say that Apple is ... checking those boxes!


Alright, sorry, I'll leave.

Hold on man. Are you done with WP now?

 

[schnell]

So is Siri for iPad an OS update or only in a new iPad "4" or whatever they'll call it? Just bought an iPad 3 two weeks ago.

Update for 3 and up. So you'll get it with iOS6
