Apple has announced a list of new features that will be implemented into the new update named iOS 6 which is set to be released this Fall. The update will be free but only available on the following,

iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 4th generation, iPad 2, and The new iPad.

Alright lets dive into the new features that will be released in iOS 6.



Maps

First, Apple has announced they have teamed up with TomTom, a GPS manufacturer which will help completely overhaul the maps app. Apple will be getting rid of Google Maps including Street View and opting to go with TomTom's Turn by Turn directions which provides real-time traffic conditions and alternative routes.

Also because Apple will be giving Google Street View the boot, Apple will be releasing a 3D Flyover feature which allows you to see 3D images of cities and in which you can interact with by zooming in, turning and even tilting or rotating around a city.
