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

There's no need to show off the competitor for the holiday season before september/october.

Apple does not need to disclose the design at all. Devs are used to support different resolutions.

The main point will be (in my opinion):
* Facebook or other social integration
* Siri API
* Maps API
* New Multitasking / Widget API

All of these can be tested in the simulator.

Good point. Let's also not forget that Apple may be keeping other things out of the beta that don't need dev API testing. However, for resolution changes Apple wants apps that are ready for launch. They'll announce iOS6 now and may not include resolution changes till a separate iPhone announcement. I find that unlikely though.
 
Just curious if you guys think that Apple will continue to sell the iPad 2 when the iPad - 4th gen comes out (march 2013)?

I know I'm getting ahead of everything, but would Apple sell three types of iPads like what there doing with the iPhone?

This certainly seems to be like a new direction Apple is taking.
 
It is a bit disconcerting that the first iPad is being dropped. If there aren't many major UI changes I will be extremely concerned.

The main reason is that the iPad should have a life span of more than two years. With a phone, you get a subsidy every two years as your contract expires. Buying an iPad is more akin to buying a laptop, as you buy it outright.

Hopefully the falloff window is extended over the years, as the iPad 2 is pretty similar in performance to the new iPad. This drop was probably due to 256MB of RAM.

Well its because Apple still sells the 3GS...

But if the iPad 1 could support at least some features of iOS 6, I hope Apple does allow it.
 
Do people think that Siri will be added to iPhone 4 with the upgrade to iOS 6? I assume Siri is coming to all Macs with the Mountain Lion upgrade.

With all these people using Siri, I wonder how "smart" the voice recognition will get and how fast it will "learn".

I will probably upgrade to iPhone 5, but I'm looking forward to my 4 learning some new tricks for the summer.

Yes, I understand the marketing reasons. The point being made about iPad 1 is on the technical aspect.

Me and others expect Apple to support the hardware if technical feasible. This seems to be the case based on the support of the 3GS.
 
safari 6? i wonder what will be different? we are at 5.2 beta currently.. will that be released tomorrow in final form than and 6 when mountain lion is released or iOS 6 is released?

It's a marketing / business decision that the original iPad isn't supported. Apples does what Apple wants. It's their prerogative.

Siri will probably be for every device after iPhone 4S so the new iPad will get it.

Just doesnt seem like something Apple would do...
 
here is what I'm thinking is coming tomorrow...

iOS 6 beta
Safari 6 developer preview
Mountain Lion developer preview 4
iTunes 11 beta


and for non beta software..

iTunes 10.7
Safari 5.2

I WILL BE PISSED IF THERE WILL BE NO IOS 6 ON 3rd GEN IPOD TOUCH.

On the plus side, this most certainly means there will be a new iPod Touch released. I wanted to get one last year but since they didn't update it I passed. I wanted a better camera.

Will pass again if it it based off the iPhone 4S design this time (no 16:9 screen).
 
iOS 6 icon texture looks like a fingerprint.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this (or if I'm being crazy) but doesn't the texture behind the iOS 6 icon look like a fingerprint?

I don't know what that means... upcoming biometrics on the iPhone 5 to authenticate an NFC purchase maybe?

Just a fun and wild guess. If it happens remember that you heard it from MisterK first!
 
oh it says safari 6 for lion? what about mountain lion? are they getting 6 or something else? :confused: guess we will know tomorrow. I'm still expecting 5.2 to be out tomorrow for everyone.

I believe you are right (and I give you credit). If you look at the "ripples" in the logo, they are very much like a fingerprint. :D
 
If the 3GS gets iOS 6 then the iPhone 4 should also get iOS 7, right? Maybe Apple will still be selling it by then...

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.

If 3GS gets iOS 6, that's 3 major updates(iOS 4, 5, 6) and that would be an industry gold standard, absolutely unmatched by other manufacturers/software companies.

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.
