iOS 6 - Improve SIRI

There are a few improvement with SIRI that comes with the up-coming iOS 6. Here are a few features that you will get from the iOS.

Siri on Sports

Now Siri can get you answer if you asked for results or game schedules from EPL, Spanish League, Spanish La Liga, French Ligue 1, German Bundeliga to NBA, NFL and even WNBA to name a few. 

Siri on Movies

If you like movies, now Siri can answer to all your movies trivia. Just ask Siri on any upcoming movies or past or actor's bio. You have the full list of them in your hand now. 

Siri on Restaurant

Now you can ask Siri to recommend you restaurants around your area based on ratings, pricing and locations. It is now integrated with Yelp and OpenTable which means that you are able to see the rating of the restaurants before you go over. Even pictures.

Siri on Social

Now you can ask Siri to upload your status or post your tweets to Facebook and Twitter.

Now you can finally ask Siri to launch your apps. Yes, most of the apps mentioned above is possible by using some apps by Cydia as I am using it now. But it's good that Apple finally decided to integrate these features as standard stock for Siri and improving it. 

Siri is Eyes Free

You can now ask Siri to read your notification, read mails or SMS while you are driving which they called Eyes Free. And Apple is now in talk with car manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes, GM, Toyota, Honda to name a few to integrate the Siri activation button onto the steering wheel. So you can talk with Siri without even have to look at the screen (which is not lighted up).

Siri is Multilingual

Finally Siri will be able to support more language such as Mandarin and Cantonese. Cool~!

I think watching the video below by GottaBeMobile is a lot more easier than reading what I wrote on top. Can't wait to get this improve Siri on the new iOS 6. 

iOS 6 - Call Features

Here are some of the feature that you are expecting from the new iOS 6 update. Actually it's kinda nifty to have if I do say so myself. Normally when a calls comes in we can choose to 1) accept 2) decline 3) ignoring it. But now with the new iOS, we have the option to 1) Reply with Message 2) Remind Me Later. In Reply with Message, we can choose to reply with a standard message of 1) I'll call you back 2) I'm on my way and you can even customize what you want to reply to the caller. 

As for Remind me Later, we will be reminded 1hour later to call back to the caller via the Reminder app. You can choose between a few choices stated above but some of the requires you to set the Location service to be on to get the right notification. 

Next we have the Do Not Disturb feature. It means that you can now stop all calls from coming in. Hence you can divert your calls to voice mail or notification only. You can toggle this feature through Settings. You can also Schedule when you wanna Enable this function. You have the option to only let certain people to call in via "Allow Calls From" feature. You can use the Group or Favorite list of people you had created in your phone to this feature. Which is really neat, since I had created a few groups in my own contact list :) Another feature is called "Repeated Calls" which means that it will allow the caller who called you repeatedly within 3 minutes will get through to you as they treat it as an emergency call. No there is NO BLACKLIST feature yet. But I think a lot of you guys out there would really like this function on their phone :) 

iOS 6

My i4S is still running on iOS 5.0.1 right now. Why not 5.1.1? Nothing much to talk about from my current iOS to the latest I would say. Since my eye would be on the latest iOS 6 which boost  a lot of changes to the current iOS. I am not going to go into details on the features but let the videos do the talking itself. 

Siri:

App Store:

Maps:

Safari:

Clock: 

These are just some of the features updates. I will keep you all posted for anything new. The iOS 6 can be downloaded but mostly it's for developers testing on their apps. So the million dollar question would be, is it possible to JB? The answer is YES. It's already been JB. But then again it's too early to get your hopes now. I think Apple will definitely patch things up before the official launch of it. But I have faith in the DevTeam to do their best in what they do. Ciao~!
