iOS6 Upgrade

Written by on

Unless you’ve been on a desert island you know iOS6 is out now. I upgraded both my iPhone 4S and iPad 3 on Thursday. While not completely uneventful it was relatively smooth. There were related Mountain Lion and Apple application upgrades on my Macs. In my case, it was iPhoto and Aperture that were upgraded.

http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9730672-7.html CNet has a article that says Apple has announced that the iPhone will have a full 8 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby time.

Apple had previously published specs of 5 hrs of [...] Read the rest »
