IOS 6 map:

· Apple has abandoned Google Maps and switched to self-developed map services.

· More than 0.1 billion local merchants are listed on the Apple map.

· Like Siri, the application integrates Yelp.

· Apple developed a traffic condition service to display emergency incidents and overall traffic conditions in specific regions.

· The traffic condition function can use the information provided by iOS users to provide the latest traffic conditions in real time.

· The navigation function is under development.

Integrate Facebook:

· Users can share photos, maps, iTunes links, and game center content.

· Facebook events will be automatically added to the calendar.

· Birthday is also included.

· The phone number will appear in the contact list.

Some ideas: Apple and Facebook have always had a good relationship. Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, mentioned "continuous attention" at the D10 conference this year. We look forward to closer cooperation between the two companies.

Considering that the integration of Twitter in iOS 5 has benefited the latter a lot, the cooperation between Facebook and Apple will certainly benefit a lot. In addition, because users will gradually divide their applications and operating systems, Facebook does not need to invest a lot of time, resources, and power in its Facebook applications.

Passbook:

· Collect all user identity tickets, such as boarding passes, tickets, and coupons.

· Ability to work with other applications, such as Starbucks applications or various movie tickets.

· Partner brands include Starbucks, Fandango, changhang, American Railway Company, and Apple retail stores.

· Do Not Disturb function: allows users to disable all alarms and reminders at one time.

· In Do Not Disturb Mode, users can assign specific contacts.

· In an emergency, users can call two consecutive calls.

Wireless FaceTime:

· FaceTime was previously only available for WiFi access, but iOS 6 enabled it to be used wirelessly.

· The New FaceTime version also unifies the phone number and Apple id. If the recipient calls your phone number through Facetime, you can use Mac or iPad to respond.

Safari/iCloud tabs:
