What exactly are the 200 new features in iOS 6?

[Jman13]

iOS 6 has plenty of stuff that will be taken advantage of by creative developers. It's largely a "Polish" release but there's some good stuff in there for everyone.

There's really not much missing once you realize that

A. Widgets are not going to happen on a larger scale than NC
B. There will be no file system app

And that's one of the reasons I don't think I can update to the next iPhone until it's jailbroken... I've become so accustomed to my Jailbroken 4S over the past couple months that I don't think I could go back. Just losing things like nested folders, wi-fi, cell data, hotspot, etc toggles in notification center, widgets, themeable icons and UI, iFile, awesome tweaks like SwipeSelection, where you can move the cursor by swiping across the keyboard.....yeah, I don't think I could lose those now.

Yeah this. What I wanted in the 4s and iOS5 was a bigger screen and toggles. Slowly, Apple is getting there.

On the Apple Keynote there were presented 10 new features in iOS6 and over the past months we've seen some more features as well, however does anyone have a list with all 200 new things that iOS 6 will bring?

Each of this features can account for up to 10 different features in their own right. So don't be surprised when those 200 promised new features really boil down to just over 10 real new features.

It's the same stunt with mountain lion. Airplay mirroring itself already accounted for 9 new stuff! Others were so minor (like textedit in the cloud) I am surprised they even made the count!

Hmm...seeing the list posted on the 1st page, it seems like the 10 features they previewed at WWDC pretty much are what we are getting eventually.

Apple's certainly not bringing toggles. They don't make sense.

Of course you're right. It makes infinitely more sense to have to press the Home button, locate my Settings app, press it, scroll to the Setting I want, press that, then toggle there.

Yeah, that makes so much more sense . I take it you disagree with Apple moving the Bluetooth setting in iOS 6 because you prefer to do things the slow way.

Not everyone has a need or desire to toggle their Bluetooth or wi-fi 17x a day like the folks screaming about the lack of this feature evidently need.
