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:

● 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

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
 
Wouldn't mind them adding delivery reports for SMS. And giving you the option of HD or SD when using the YouTube app.

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
