The "One more thing.." in IOS6.

I consider this thread to be a admittance that iOS6 was a huge disappointment.
Also I will bet that iOS6 will not have a huge software addition when the new iPhone5 comes out. It will be hardware related, such as NFC and LTE. There will probably be a sharing/banking/interaction software for the NFC chip, and there will probably be a data monitoring/capping solution in Settings to keep users safe from going over their data allotment every month (which Android already does).

There won't be a "one more thing". I'm sure another feature or two will be added, but "one more thing" was Steve's.
Would you mind not hijacking every single iOS 6 thread to complain about stuff? You already made several of your own for that.
Throwing a HUGE non-beta tested software feature into almost 100,000,000 devices is a recipe for disaster.
It's called Passbook, in case you missed one of the what, 10 relevant new features in iOS 6.

Are we forgetting FaceTime and Siri? Nether were in the betas up until the iPhone's release.
Exactly. Apple adds features to major releases that don't need developer testing quite often. Especially if it has to do with a hardware feature of a new iDevice.
I think he meant if NFC is in the new iPhone then it'll be used through Passbook. Makes the most sense to me.
Possibly! But Passbook can be used without NFC! After all, it only holds boarding passes, cupons, ticket, receipts and stuff and it provides live updates to them. Would you not think there would be an app you would use to make payments through NFC?
-Passbook for Boarding Passes, Tickets, Gift Cards, Store Cards.
-iPay for Debit Cards (new iPhone only)
That is how I see it.

It would be "Wireless inductive charging client is embedded in this iPhone for free. Accessory makers will sell a pad for $29 separately."
NFC isn't part of it the last time I checked. We're hoping that NFC itself is the "one more thing" and it'd of course be used via Passbook.
probably what timmy announced at wwdc this year. i really don't think that he's much for the one more thing like jobs. but... we shall see.
It will be high speed data transfer doc connector, capable of plugging into TB or USB 3.0. Movies, videos and photo libraries rejoice!
