Ios 6 Vs Ios 5: Apple's Mobile Oses Compared Ios 5 Brought Many Sweeping Changes to the Iphone and Other Related Stories Idevices iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Apple's mobile OSes compared iOS 5 brought many sweeping changes to the iPhone and other Related stories iDevices. Twitter integration, alternate routes in the Maps app, tweaked iMessages and wireless syncing over WiFi, all things iOS 6 adoption booming despite Apple Maps that iDevice users were clamoring for. troubles iOS 6 begins rolling out to Apple devices Now iOS 6 has arrived, full of updates that will surely have iOS 6 adoption 122 per iPhone and iPad owners wondering how they lived without cent faster than iOS 5 these helpful new features. As of today Apple's new mobile operating system is officially available. It doesn't mat- ter if you were among the millions who pre-ordered the iPhone 5 or fifth-generation iPod touch. The iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, new iPad 3 and fourth-gen- eration iPod touch are all eligible for an update to iOS 6. We've assembled a list of the tweaks and new features that the iOS 6 update will bring to the mobile Apple experience. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Passbook Brand new to iOS 6 is Passbook, an official Apple app that will track and store your air- line boarding passes, movie tickets, retail coupons, loyalty cards (think Starbucks and grocery store discount cards), concert tickets, admission passes to sporting events and more. To keep hassle to a minimum, your iPhone will automatically display relevant passes on the lock screen, using location tracking to know where you are and what you'll need. That means that when you walk into the airport or a movie theater your ticket will be just a push of the Home Button away. Before iOS 6, this sort of ticket and coupon tracking was third-party app territory. Apps like CardStar and Eventbrite stored barcodes for most major loyalty cards and coupons, importing information using the iPhone's camera. Now that Apple is folding this tech- nology directly into iOS 6, these guys will have to get more clever to compete. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Maps Goodbye Google Maps and hello Apple Maps, finally with turn-by-turn directions. Be- fore iOS 6, Google Maps didn't provide those coveted turn-by-turn instructions, and iPhone users had to pony up for expensive third-party apps like TomTom if they want- ed their iPhone to direct them around town. Now Apple is delivering a new mapping solution that provides spoken directions, as well as striking 3D photography that users can pan and zoom around in. However, you can bid Street View farewell, since that's a Google Maps feature. Enjoy your newfound exclusivity, Android users. iOS 5 introduced an awesome, much-needed tweak to the official Maps app: alternate routes. Users could finally choose from more than one route, allowing them to skirt traf- fic and steer clear of the freeway, if they wanted. However, the app still did not provide turn-by-turn spoken directions, leaving it behind the features offered by Android and Windows Phone map apps, or third party players on the iPhone. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Siri iOS 6 will bump up Siri's IQ a few a points. You'll now be able to speak to her in an even more colloquial fashion. For example, you could ask her to find well-reviewed films in your area, and she can respond by launching third-party apps such as Rotten Tomatoes. She'll also be able to post to Facebook and tweet on your behalf. It was the iPhone 4S that launched Siri, the talking digital assistant. While iOS 6 will up- grade her functionality, she won't be available on any devices that were previously Siri- less. Sorry iPhone 4 and iPad 2 users. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Facebook Access to Zuckerberg's social network will be baked right into iOS 6, allowing you to share and post updates without having to actually open the Facebook app. You'll be able to share a picture you just shot from the Camera app, alert your friends to your lo- cation using Maps, and tell everybody how much time you just wasted on Angry Birds right from the Game Center. As mentioned, Siri will get in on this action too - you'll be able to ask her to post on your behalf. Since iOS 5 added extensive Twitter integration to the iPhone, these built-in Facebook features were expected. After iOS 5, users were able to tweet links right from apps like Safari, the New York Times, YouTube and Apple Trailers. With iOS 6, it seems that both social networking phenomenons will be given equal footing on Apple's iPhone. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Photos Not only will photos on iOS 6 be integrated with Facebook, iPhone owners will be able to show their snaps to pals using Shared Photo Streams. Load up the new Photo app and you'll find that you can select photos and share them with the contacts of your choice. iOS 6 or OS X Mountain Lion users can have them delivered directly to their Photos app or iPhoto. Those not using the latest Mac software, or using a non-Apple product can view them via the web. To really sweeten the deal, Apple has said that this photo sharing and storage will not take up your allotted space on iCloud. While iOS 5 allowed users to tweet or email their pictures, it was not nearly as well inte- grated with iCloud. With Shared Photo Streams, Facebook integration and the iPhone 5's more advanced camera, iOS 5 has really been left in the dust when it comes to taking and sharing pics. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: FaceTime The simple version: iOS 6 will allow users to FaceTime over cellular service, no longer needing WiFi to make video calls. The complicated version: different carriers are instat- ing different rules via data plans. Sprint and Verizon will offer FaceTime to customers on all data packages. However, Verizon customers picking up an iPhone 5 will have to pay full price for the handset (not the nice $199 price for the 16GB model) in order to have an unlimited data plan. On the other hand, AT&T is forcing shared data plans on customers who wish to FaceTime over its network. Sprint, meanwhile, is playing it cool, saying "customers with iOS 6 on their iPhone will be allowed to utilize FaceTime with Sprint's current unlimited data offers while on the Sprint network." iOS 5 furthered the iPhone's budding romance with video calling, adding deeper inte- gration for the app into other communication methods. FaceTime calls could be started from iMessages and standard phone calls, but now that iOS 6 will bring it to cellular service, you should check your hair and makeup before picking up a calls around town. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Phone and calling The new Phone features for iOS 6 will make rejecting unwanted calls a lot easier. Now when you decline a call, you'll be given the option to respond with a pre-composed text, like "I'll call you later" or "I'm on my way," or set a reminder to return the call. You can also put the phone on Do Not Disturb mode. That way, the maid won't knock on your door with fresh towels, and the only calls that will come through will be from contacts you've selected, like your boss or significant other. iOS 5 introduced some very clever Phone-related features, such as being able to return a call or check voicemail directly from the home screen. It also added better integration for FaceTime. Other than that, it pretty much left the Phone features alone. Who makes calls on their iPhone anyway? iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Mail iOS 6 will refresh the Mail app, making it easier to attach pictures and videos to your outgoing emails. It will also let you assemble a list of VIP contacts. Communications with these important people will show up in a separate folder, making sure you never miss an email from your boss, mother, or whoever else makes your list. It also has a slightly tweaked interface. Refreshing your inbox is now as simple as swiping downwards, like in the Twitter app. iOS 5 added some much-needed features to email on the iPhone. Users could create sub- folders for sorting mail, and flag messages like in OS X Mail. Familiar text formatting options were added as well, finally letting users bold, italicize, indent or add quote lev- els (that blue text that appears in a forwarded message) to their emails. iOS 6 vs iOS 5: Safari Thanks to iOS 6, browsing the web on Safari will become a unified Apple experience. iOS 6 will introduce iCloud Tabs, which will keep your place across all iDevices and Mountain Lion Macs associated with your iCloud account. That means if you're reading this article on your MacBook Air, you could step out the door and pick up right where you left off on your iPod touch or iPhone. You'll also be able to save whole web pages to your Reading List, rather than just links, so articles will be available for offline reading. iOS 6's Safari will also let you post pics and videos without leaving the browser, and you'll be able to ditch browser borders and go full-screen for an edge-to-edge web surf- ing experience. There were some great Safari updates introduced with iOS 5 as well.

  • How Do I Get Started with Aperture?
    1 How Do I Get Started with Aperture? COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 004_9781118274293-ch01.indd4_9781118274293-ch01.indd 2 99/18/12/18/12 112:002:00 PPMM 1 2345678910 Aperture is like iPhoto on steroids in some ways; but in other ways, it’s a com- pletely different beast. Unlike iPhoto, it’s designed to be an incredibly flexi- ble image, video, and audio file asset management tool that you can integrate into your existing workflow. However, this flexibility means that Aperture has more jargon, settings, and buttons than iPhoto. This chapter helps demystify Aperture’s jargon and shows you key fundamentals you need to know when using Aperture. Understanding Why Aperture Is a Key Part of Your Workflow . 4 Working with Aperture’s File Structure . 6 A Brief Tour of Aperture’s Interface . 13 Basic Customization Options . 26 004_9781118274293-ch01.indd4_9781118274293-ch01.indd 3 99/18/12/18/12 112:002:00 PPMM Aperture 3 Portable Genius Understanding Why Aperture Is a Key Part of Your Workflow Most photographers agree that the time you spend behind the lens shooting is the best part of being a photographer, and all the other stuff (processing an image, categorizing it, trying to sell it, or using it to promote business) is really just annoying. While digital photography enables you to be more creative as a photographer, from being able to see right away whether you got the shot to being able to experiment as much as you want with the only cost being hard drive space, the “other stuff” arguably gets more frustrating because now you have to manage digital files instead of physical film and learn to use multiple programs to develop and output your images.
