Everything that was announced for iOS 6 we have already seen in one form or another be it a Cydia tweak or a minor feature on other platforms. After going through each of the new features mentioned for iOS 6 we have been able to find all of these features available for iOS 5. The new Siri features including the ability to take sports related queries and local searching in newer coutries has already been implemented in one way or the other with Cydia tweaks. The SiriSports tweak which is free from Cydia under ModMyi lets you make queries related to NBA, MLB and NHL from Siri. Sireet which is also free from Cydia under ModMyi lets you use Siri to tweet. Last but not least those of you in unsupported countries can install International Locations for Siri which is just $0.99 from the BigBoss repo to get local search. Siri for the iPad is something that we have also been looking forward too. Siri has finally made its way onto the iPad with iOS 6 but only the 3rd generation iPad is supported. The jailbreak community has in fact covered this with a tweak called Spire which brings Siri to the iPad. The only problem with this is that it only works on devices running iOS 5.0.1 or earlier so it won�t support the new 3rd generation iPad. The Do Not Disturb feature that has been added to iOS 6 is available in a Cydia Tweak called BannerDisable which is free from the BigBoss repo. This allows you to turn off all push notifications with a flip of a toggle from the native Settings app. FullScreen for Safari is available at $1.99 from the BigBoss repo. This tweak is actually better than the official iOS 6 feature as it lets you view full screen in landscape and portrait. The most exciting feature of iOS 6 has to be 3D maps. Apple has implemented their very own in house implementation of the Maps app which has great 3D renders of numerous cities around the world. There aren�t many apps in the App store that provide the same results but if you have an iPad then the UpNext HD maps app is a great choice. Google have announced that they will be bringing a dedicated Maps app to iOS which will bring 3D maps to everyone. When it comes to Facebook integration the jailbreak community already have a tweak called Fusion which is $2 at the BigBoss repo that not only integrates Facebook in iOS but also MySpace and Foursquare. You can even update your status on these networks with the Siri integration that comes with Fusion. As you can see, there are jailbreak apps available to give you all the iOS 6 features on your iOS 5 device.

iOS 6 To Have Facebook Integration, Redesigned App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore

After such a long time it looks as if the integration of Facebook into Apple�s next major iOS release will be made official at the WWDC. Apple have been making a big fuss over the new Facebook iOS apps that have landed in the App Store in recent days. If things do go as we all expect at the WWDC it will be great news for not only Facebook but for Apple too. Facebook has over 900 million registered members who are all very active on the social network and this partnership will be extremely positive for current iOS users who are looking forward to Facebook integration with the native iOS. p>Unfortunately, until we see an official announcement from either Apple or Facebook we won�t know how deeply Facebook will be integrated into iOS 6. It is likely that users will be able to share information from native apps to their Facebook Wall, but beyond this it really is difficult to predict. iOS 6 is going to see some design changes surrounding the iTunes and iBooks Stores and this is according to 9to5Mac. It really is hard to know what we can expect especially considering the fact that we know Apple acquired Chomp which means that we would see users being able to interact better with the App Store. Until the final announcement is made however we are still only reacting to rumors and passing on the information that we hear.

The latest beta version iOS 5.1 beta 3 seems to be no different and this time two new iPad references have been discovered again. Two new code names, J1AP and J2AP have been discovered in the latest beta release which appear to link with recent reports that suggest the iPad 3 is being developed under the J1 and J2 names. It is presumed that one of these is the Wi-Fi only version and the other will also have a 3G radio. Apple has always been known to test new hardware using the latest betas of the newest iOS whilst adding new features that are due to debut with the hardware. The betas that were released for iOS 5 has reference to Siri and voice dictation which are two new features that came with the iPhone 4S release. We all know that Apple is working on an iPad 3 and if they follow their existing release cycle then we should expect to hear about a possible announcement within the next three months. Another new feature to be spotted in the latest beta release of iOS 5.1 is an old one that never made it into the shipping version of iOS 5 and this is the Facebook integration which is similar to the Twitter integration that we have today. This was supposed to be part of the iOS 5 release but apparently Apple and Facebook couldn't reach an agreement. It looks as though this feature could be back but whether it comes with the shipped version of iOS 5.1 still remains a mystery.
