I know, I know, tons of threads about iOS 6 already but hear me out. Recently a couple of articles got me interested.

Again, just posting what I want to see if only the stock apps get upgraded.

iOS 6 mostly focused on stock appse
Facebook integration in iOS 6
iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore redesign
Tim Cook talks about Siri and Facebook

These have been hinted for iOS 6:
● Siri improvements
● Facebook integration
● New Maps app with 3D maps
● Update to Camera and Photos app
● Photo sharing and commenting
● Video sync
● Improved Multitasking (probably for the new iPad only)
● iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore redesign

Now features for stock apps I think will/should be in iOS 6. There might be some that aren't stock apps, but I still think should be included. Lets start with those features.

Features

Siri
● New languages
● Support for iPad 3rd generation
● New features
● Better maps and local search functionality
● API for third-party developers

Notification Center
● Spotlight
● Widgets (like Weather and Stock)

Other

According to 9to5Mac there's going to be a whole new Apple-made App too. Whether or not it's a stock app, I'm not sure

Any chance it could be a Podcast only app?

Music app has limited podcast functionality, no automatic updates and stuff.

Also Apple made iTunes U a separate app so I think Apple could make podcasts into a separate app.

They should also make Newsstand not a stock app.

If you want these apps you can download them on the App Store
-iBooks
-Newsstand
-iTunes U
-Podcasts

The only medication to a stock app that I really care about would be the addition of AdBlock Plus to Mobile Safari.
