The iPhone from Apple is one of the mobile core in the picture smartphone . Of that there is no doubt. As there is no doubt that, to date, from Cupertino they have not been able to make the most complete smartphone on the market. At least, if we compare the equipment from its system with others that populate the sector at the moment. And is that despite its benefits "" excellent design, high quality screen, remarkable fluidity in operation "", the absences are increasingly more pressing. Especially after the release of iOS 6, the latest version.
The next big platform update, iOS 6.1, will land in the coming weeks. Some of the new additions have already been seen, such as the option to integrate the purchase of tickets for movies and shows from the Siri voice assistant using the Fandango application. However, once again, the steps are marked, as this function will only be available for certain shows and only in the United States, initially. It is not, as we say, the only case, and we hope that there are at least five options that will be improved with the arrival of the new system:
Maps
The application of maps and geolocation has been the great fiasco of iOS 6. Apple itself certified the tremendous mistake made with its native application, which even cost Scott Forstall the job "" responsible for iOS, and fired for refusing to admit the errors of Maps in an official statement signed in his own handwriting. The application, which emerged as a way to battle Google, ended up projecting the backfire: location failures, buildings that appear headless and crazy routes. That is why for the next system update, the development of aApplication of Maps effective and reliable should be a priority for Apple.
Free GPS Navigator
Google, Nokia and Microsoft have it clear: the possibility that the user has an integrated solution to program guided routes on their phone is an undeniable attraction. Apple ended up giving its arm to twist, and although erratic, Maps was encouraged to integrate this option. However, iOS 6 is still a pending issue for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 models, which do not have the point-to-point voice-guided navigation function that is present in the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.
WhatsApp integration
IOS users have exclusive options in WhatsApp, such as the possibility of not revealing the time of the last connection. However, they lack the level of integration that, for example, we have in Android, where we can share practically any file through this messaging application without opening it. That is, if we are taking a look at our photos and videos in the gallery, we could directly share them with our contacts on WhatsApp by clicking on them through the corresponding option. It would be interesting, thus, that this function was integrated in iOS 6.1.
Siri
The talkative virtual assistant of the iPhone has been able to spread to more devices with the arrival of iOS 6, but it is still a subject in the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, so fragmentation continues to be a patent barrier. The possibility that these teams add the presence of Siri to their benefits with the arrival of iOS 6.1 would be a boost in the face of the trust that many users have questioned about Apple. "" If not, ask to first-generation iPad users , discarded from the in-house upgrade program.
Display notifications from the lock screen
It seems like a minor detail, but among Android users it is a function that makes their mobiles operate with greater agility in certain queries. And is that the option to take a look, without having to unlock, the notification curtain, can become very attractive. Since the deployment is carried out with a gesture that is difficult to achieve by mistake in the pocket, there is no danger of unwanted unlocking.
