WWDC Banner Confirms iOS 6 Announcement

Those who want a "file system" are already using something like Dropbox.

Dropbox obviously has nothing to do with File System. It only exposes iOS deficiencies. OS has file system when you can do Save As/Open File in your apps. With iOS, you can't. Instead, you have to use a patchwork of "features", tricks and weird applications that try to mitigate the absence of a real file system.
 
Wauw just what I have been waiting for, a more silver theme. Apple sure knows what is customers want (oh and dont give me the millions but it BS)

Innovation in multiple users/better notifications and widgets not redesigned stock apps, shift the maps application or bloody facebook.
 
I don't know what I want from iOS 6? I don't want Facebook what so ever, but we will see what happens with that, I don't use Twitter. Apart from that iOS does what I want and I like the way it does it.
I don't want widgets like Android as I think they run the battery down and make the interface too cluttered.

So I will be hopefully pleasantly surprised when they announce the new features. I think they can improve Safari though so will be keen to see what they do with that.
It would also be nice Apple to allow me to delete your apps off the phone!
 
I really hope Apple opens FaceTime (promised two years ago) or at least makes a Windows version, with group video chat support. Skype keeps getting worse and worse, but it's the best cross-platform solution available.

Hope you're right. I'd love it. However, I'm putting money on that they won't. They haven't streamed live in *any* event in almost 10 years.

Hope I'm wrong.

I can't remember which event It was, but a couple years ago they streamed an event to apple devices only. I remember specifically because I watched it on my iPad 1 in McDonald's. Hopefully somebody reads this and can confirm the event I'm speaking.

To note......it didn't go so well. Freezes and delays were a huge problem. But then again, the problem may have been McDonald's wifi

They streamed the "back to the Mac" event (Lion and new air.) It was probably that.

That's probably why I mentioned libraries..

With a traditional OS, you tell the OS where your files are by navigating through a hierarchical list of files and folders. This is not an advanced feature.

With an advanced OS, the OS knows where your files are and brings them up when you need them. iOS has elements of this but it's not all the way there, which is why some people want a traditional file system. My point is that adding a traditional file system would not be an advancement (it's an old/dated concept), although in some cases right now it may be an improvement.

iOS maintains libraries for certain items, like photos which are accessible from any app without you telling the app where to find them. Windows 7 can create libraries from multiple folders. The idea behind a Library is that the user doesn't need to know where the file is, the OS just needs to be able to bring it up for you when you want it.

With a properly set up video library, you wouldn't need to store videos in the same place, the OS would simply know where they all were (for instance, in other app folders) and let you access them from wherever you wanted.

The traditional, visible and hierarchical file system is how we are accustomed to accessing our files, but it's certainly not the most advanced.

That's fine.

At the moment if I have 3 video players, I have to have 3 copies of the same film on the iPad, that is nothing short of moronic for an OS to behave

Water in the background? Am I the only one seeing the submerged 6 with a periscope sticking out?

Must mean something...

No, its simply the two-tone style of the font. It matches the "iOS" before it.

OOORRRR it most could signify that new radar feature everyone is talking about. Like a sub, it will allow you to walk around in the dark while it displays the terrain around you. Definitely part of the new maps app. Sweet. :rolleyes:

Or, get a better video player. Duh.

he obvs means apps on his iPad. its indeed idiotic. lets say i store a file on "Good Player" i cant access the same file with the "VLC" app or the built in "Video" app and therefore would have to store it 3 times on different locations/apps
 
Would it be too much to ask that the next iPhone have FM radio? And yes I know about Tune-In, iHeart, etc. I'd love to be able to get radio without having to stream it over Wi-Fi or cellular. Especially in an office environment where Wi-Fi isn't available, or isn't allowing for personal use. Apple has FM radio in the iPod Nano so why not the iPhone or ipod Touch?
 
I've cracked the image!!! The water ripples behind the six means we're getting new wallpapers!!! Omfg finally after two iOS releases we will get new wallpapers. In all seriousness I just realized; ripples show movement so what of we get live wallpapers...? :D

Going with the fingerprint folks. Improved security, or something. Maybe you hold your thumb over the camera to unlock. I dunno. Doesn't look like a ripple to me so I'm spekulatin.

I'd like to take a hit of that magical stuff you're smoking.

Hello, file system on an iOS device?

Depending on the idevice used and its amount of memory, you want to use up that memory to store stuff that you can access many other ways?

LogMeIn lets' you connect to and control your main computer from any place with internet access
Dropbox gives you access to all the files deemed important if you put the app onto your idevice
iCloud or other like services will store whatever you like
Google documents or the like can save and file

and on and on........

Why would anybody want to clutter up an iphone or ipad with files?

If you need that, take along a MacAir or MacBook etc.
Connect to the internet with hotspot feature if that's needed.

Why not? They have for the last 4 years.

Hardware always follows software 2-3 months later.

Question, I'm completely ignorant here, wasn't the 3G released before they had the new iOS?

I remember that they released iOS 2 some time after I got my 3G (and I didn't get my 3G right when it came out either, apparently though about a month after it came out, maybe a little sooner)?

I remember it cause it actually made the iphone's browser be stable (the damned thing crashed so much on safari before that it was a testament how much I was really loving my phone that I didn't want to throw it against the wall, it was very reliable to crash constantly. I'm pretty sure if 2 hadn't come out as soon as it did the newness of the phone would eventually wear off and it would start really pissing me off. 2 happily fixed that problem).
 
Logo

I have to say I like the new logo. It's more organized and serene than the bubble background. Plus, the metallic numbering is just sexy. I love you :apple:
