Apple iOS 6
Apple has revealed that the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 will not be getting all of the new features that are coming with the brand-new Maps app in iOS 6 announced this week. Most notably, the older devices will not get the turn-by-turn directions and the nifty 3D flyover features that Apple was proudly displaying during yesterday’s presentation of the new operating system.
Apple did not say why the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 would not be getting these specific features, but many assume that it is because they do not have A5 or A5X processors and just aren’t up to the task when it comes to processing power needed for the new features. even worse for owners of the iPhone 3GS, Apple says the 2009-era phone will not get shared Photo Streams, the new VIP email features, and the offline reading list in the Safari browser that are all due to come with iOS 6. meanwhile, 2010’s iPhone 4 won’t be able to use the FaceTime video calling feature over cellular networks, unlike the iPad 2, new iPad, and iPhone 4S.
of course, it is pretty amazing that Apple is upgrading the three-year-old iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 at all, since the first-generation iPad and third-generation iPod touch won’t even be invited to the party. Still, there are likely a number of users that recently picked an iPhone 3GS from AT&T on the cheap that won’t get to enjoy all of the latest and greatest that iOS has to offer.
