Apple’s latest operating system, Mountain Lion, was released two weeks ago and has been the talk of Apple fans ever since. If the anticipation for Mountain Lion tells us anything about the buzz surrounding Apple’s next mobile operating system, iOS 6, we should be in store for some more record download numbers. Apple announced iOS 6 at Apple’s Word Wide Developers conference, however, it is still only available for developers, with rest of us getting access in the fall – likely September of October. The careful timing on the iOS 6 release date appears to align perfectly with the release of the iPhone 5, iPad Mini, new iPods and the upcoming holiday season. And we have previously reported that the iPhone 5 is due out as early as September 21st. Expect the iOS 6 to be on the same day.
Here is everything that we know about iOS 6 and some potential new iPhone photos as well.
iOS 6 Release Date:
iOS 6 is currently available for developers and will be released this fall (October). Expect the iPhone 5 to be released hand in hand with the iOS 6 operating system. iOS 6 will be supported on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, new iPad and fourth gen iPod touch.
Major upgrade for Siri:
