Apple Releasing iOS 6 Beta Build 10A5316k and Safari 6 Developer Preview at WWDC?

[FoxMcCloud]

Or you aren't allowed access to the super secret file!

My work pass doesn't let me in to a secret room in the building, saying Access Denied. Does that mean the room doesn't exist??

Lol oh well.

I tell you what though, many people will be mightily disappointed when only half of these rumours or less come true. There will be many silent releases I think, in line with previous years.

I'm wondering if the Enterprise version is finally the feature that iOS4 was originally supposed to have. That is, the ability to just wipe the company confidential data from the phone, but leave everything else intact. That would mean data like Mail, Contacts and Calendar would only be affected and nothing else. Much better for when you're dealing with terminating employees. They tend to get cranky when you wipe their devices and all their content

 

[nick_elt]

I still wish apple never released ios4 for the 3g. It ruined it. Updating an old device to the latest software is not always the best idea.

Wow the 3rd generation iPhone will run the 6th generation of the os. I imagine android users can not even comprehend what kind of hardware and os combined support that is.

This is why the iPhone platform has long term value and probable why android outsells iOS handsets. Apple users can use the same phone for three to four years and stay current. Android users have to buy three to four phones during that same time frame. To get the actual number of android users you must divide phones sold by three.

oh it says safari 6 for lion? what about mountain lion? are they getting 6 or something else? guess we will know tomorrow. I'm still expecting 5.2 to be out tomorrow for everyone.

The latest Safari is always included in the latest ML preview.

I guess you can create your own CA if you are part of the enterprise dev program.
This means you can sign Apps with your company's certificate instead of Apple's.

Not for the Store, just for mass-distribution within your company.

Maybe they just extend iCloud and WebGL support and sell it as the hottest innovation ever...

They support the 3GS but not the first iPad? Makes no sense.

 

[Waterfles]

Maybe they found a way to make IOS run as flued, as water is. cause of the support of the 3GS. If true it remains wierd why there was no iPad 1 download link present.

I was going to refute you but on closer inspection you could be right.

Not sure how that would factor into the leaked case design we've been seeing.

3gs

Long live the 3GS. It will be interesting to see if it makes it to the release.

It is shocking that they released iOS 4 for the 3G. It really made it unusable. My wife's is so slow and crashes so often even she (a non techie) complains about it.

 

[Glideslope]

Seriously? The 1st gen iPad has just been declared dead by Apple.

Forced upgrade baby!!

I think in the Android world, the only line of phones that follows a similar upgrade path to iOS is the Nexus line. And I'm sure any Nexus owner wouldn't really struggle that much comprehending anything, in fact they'd struggle to understand, how we iOS users comprehend and happily accept the amount of artificial limitations imposed on us without an option for advanced users to remove them...

He's far from right. It's ripples in water.

 

[QuarterSwede]

hopefully they can rid away some of the lagging it has though. That would be golden.

I've taken several forensic classes and unfortunately that is far from a finger print. The ridges would interweave with each other. Looks more like water ripples.

My guess is that it's just an effect that Forstall and Cook liked.

If Apple were giving anything away with the iOS 5 icon they would've released waterproof iDevices. Obviously that didn't happen.

It looks like my iPod touch 3G is finally too old to get updates. I don't get it when the 3GS has a slower CPU and the rest of the specs are the same.

The phone is not been dropped because Apple has to think of the providers (At&t, Verison...).

They are making money off 3GS users still. Everything else gets no incentives for Apple to continue working on except the end users. The iPhone will continue to be supported way longer than anything else, so don't expect Siri on the iPad 2 after all its old tech in apples eyes. Yes iPhone 4S is basically an iPad 2 spec.

iPad 2 gets minimum functionality from here on out and probably will get a nice drop off once iPad 4th Gen. comes out.

Oh well like it really matters that what business tax deductions are for

If these are just previews and betas, does that mean none of these will be ready tomorrow

 

[Cougarcat]

If these are just previews and betas, does that mean none of these will be ready tomorrow

Correct.

 

[QuarterSwede]

If these are just previews and betas, does that mean none of these will be ready tomorrow

Correct.

 

[shandyman]

If these are just previews and betas, does that mean none of these will be ready tomorrow

Correct. Beta only for a coupla months. Same as every year. Just this time, like last year, the iOS announcement is at WWDC not at a seperate event in April/may.

 

[Cod3rror]

I know that.

But like I said the 3GS is pretty old. Apple shouldn't make it bad if it can't handle it. Of course if they can make iOS 6 run smoothly on the 3GS they should, but if they can't, there's no reason why they should allow 3GS to support it.

Hey, here's an idea, if you don't want iOS 6, DO NOT UPDATE.

 

[landroverz7]

They should just drop iPhone 3GS support, so Tim Cook can just come out and say IOS 6 for A4 processors and up, so he has more time to announce new stuff

 

[B777Forevar]

iOS 4 was hell for the 3G. I wonder how iOS6 will be for the 3G

 

[sekazi]

Um, buy a new one!

Why when Apple refuses to release a 128GB.

 

[irDigital0l]

Why wouldn't I want iOS 6 on my iPhone 4?

 

[ITGuy]

The iPhone 3GS is still a great seller, and it will be used to grow smartphone market share in developing/emerging markets where low cost prepaid phones are the norm. The low cost iPhone 3GS with iOS 6 will be seen as a better alternative to the low cost phones running older versions of Android.
