App /iPhone Hot Info : New Apple software to get maps Siri update

Not ready for a new iPhone? Don’t worry. Many software features are coming to older iPhones as well.

Apple has said that its iOS 6 software will
sport more than 200 new features, though
some won’t be available on all devices. The
new features include an updated mapping
service and better integration with Facebook.
On Wednesday, Apple showed off the virtual
assistant Siri giving driving directions. Siri
will also let you post Facebook status updates
you speak out to her.

There’s also an enhancement to email, so you can deem certain people “VIPs” and locate emails from them more easily.

As announced in June, iOS 6 will be a free
upgrade for iPhones released since 2009 —
the 3GS, 4 and 4S models. It will also be
available on last year’s and this year’s
iPad models and newer iPod Touch devices.

The update for older devices will be available
starting next Wednesday. The software will ship with the iPhone 5 out on Sept. 21 in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the
U.K. Advance orders will begin Friday.
