The latest iteration of Apple‘s mobile operating system, iOS 6, dropped Wednesday just before the upcoming release of the iPhone 5. The new OS had its share of teething troubles, most notably a Wi-Fi login bug that Apple quickly and mysteriously resolved. Other users saw ongoing problems with accessing music on their iPhones. The new iOS received less-than-universal praise, but hosts a slew of new and updated features for iPhone owners to play with, including an all-new Apple maps app, a social Photo Stream and a smarter Siri.
We’ve got some larger iOS 6 stories in the works where we’ll go in-depth
with some of the new features like Passbook and some of the new camera
settings but for now, we wanted to give a brief overview of some of the
newest features and changes.
So here is the best 10 features of iOS 6:
Siri
has been the maven of answering questions via voice-command for about a
year now, but she just got a whole lot smarter. From providing movie
and restaurant recommendations and revealing professional sports scores
to even sending tweets and Facebook updates, action-commands are much
easier with Siri on iOS 6.
Passbook
may not be a digital wallet, but it's certainly warming the public up
to what could be the next big wave in mobile payments. It allows you to
store anything from movie tickets to gift cards and boarding passes for
flights.

Although the new Maps app doesn't include routing and transit directions -- which is perhaps the biggest overall gripe among iOS 6 users so far -- it still touts some impressive features.
4. 3G FaceTime
FaceTime
has long been a great way to video chat with friends and family, but
both parties needed to be on a Wi-Fi network in order for it to work.
Now, FaceTime works over cellular and you can even take calls on your
iPad using your phone number.

6. Facebook Integration
Apple has opened up social integration to Facebook,
allowing users to share pictures and post status updates without having
to log into the app. You can also merge your Facebook contacts and
calendar with your iOS calendar, so you no longer have an excuse if you
forget a friend's birthday.
7. A Social Photo Stream
Apple
has introduced photo-sharing capabilities in its Photo Stream that
allows users send a picture from their stream to a person or group of
people for comments. Similar to Facebook or Instagram, people invited to
the group can Like images and write comments.
8. Panorama
Want
to capture that big redwood tree or the entire Golden Gate bridge? Now
you can with the new panorama feature for the iPhone and iPod touch. It
allows you to shoot up to 240 degrees, even vertically.
Do Not Disturb allows you to set up a time for incoming calls to be silenced. But you can also create a list of people that can get through to you at any time, such as a family member calling in the middle of the night.
