iOS6.. Love or Hate?
Ok, so I have to say that there are some things Apple does that I just can not stand. Like for instance the whole thing about there only being certain apps we can and can not have unlike phones on the Android network that can have basically anything they want. But as a hardcore iPhone lover I stick by my Apple and just learn to deal. Now they have just released an update for iOS6. So the question is... Do I love it? Or do I hate it?
And the answer is...
Well let's go over some of the new features first. Shall we?
With the new update of iOS6 there are some major improvements that have been made.
#1 major improvement is the Maps app.
Now if you are anything like me and your iPhone is your life then 9 times out of 10 you are going to be using the Maps app as your regular GPS. Well before iOS6 the Maps was eh... mediocre. BUT NOW.. I LOVE IT!!
The new Maps now features turn by turn directions thanks to data being pulled from TomTom. So this means no more constantly looking down at your phone to see where your turn is. And it also has a cool little 3D feature for your terrain view.
#2 major improvement is the Do Not Disturb app.
You all may be going.. Whitney... What is this "Do Not Disturb" gizmo you are talking about? Well friends it is this brilliant little button in your Settings that you can switch on and off. What happens when you switch it off you may ask? NO MORE CALLS OR TEXT ALERTS WAKING YOU UP AT 3AM!! Whoever came up with this genius little setting is my freaking hero. I don't know how many times I'll have something relating to Facebook or an email or a freaking phone call wake me up. But now... my problems are solved!
#3 major improvement is the Camera.
Finally iPhone is featuring Panorama. I have been dying to have this feature. Although you have to be slow when taking the shots because if you go too fast you get this weird pix-elated black thing going across the top of your photo. But overall still a pretty awesome feature.
Then there are some things that I could've done without. But we can't have everything perfect right? Ha. There is no such thing.
#1 semi disappointment... YouTube
The YouTube app is gone!!
I spent forever looking at my screen trying to figure out what the hell was wrong. I kept going over all my apps in my head and then it hit me... Oh no! Where is my precious YouTube?!
Yup... sorry guys but we must now go to the app store and purchase the YouTube app. Don't fret my lovely ones :) it's free but still a pain that we have to do it.
There is one newly added app that I just don't quite understand yet. Maybe because I haven't really ever needed an app like this before but anywho it's called Passbook.
I didn't do much looking into it but from what I can tell it has a bunch of different functions.
In this little app you can hold boarding passes, tickets, store cards, and coupons.
I think I will end up liking this app. I love finding coupons and I have a ton of store cards that are hogging space in my wallet. Plus whenever I travel the boarding pass feature will be nice. Just scan and go.. Well that's what it says at least.
Overall I have to say that I love the new iOS6. I give it a 5 out of 5 :)
Bravo Apple.
Well my minions, that's all for now. Check back later at 6PM (Pacific Time) for the new YouTube video! It's Thursday so we all know what that means.... Dun. Dun. Dun.
Thanks for reading! ~Whitney
