On the eve of WWDC-2012 all the attention of users of iOS devices is riveted on the release of iOS 6. Recently, a unique video review of one of the main novelties of this summer from Apple has leaked onto the network. This video allows you to take a closer look at the new version of Apple's mobile operating system.

In general, at first glance, the general interface of iOS 6 practically does not differ from the previous iOS 5, although there are still a lot of innovations.

For starters, it's worth noting the iStore app - a combination of iTunes and AppStore. The application has the following sections: Music, Applications, Search and My Purchases.

Also notable is the app Dictionary (a Dictionary). So when you start the application, the word search bar is displayed, as well as the history of word searches. When searching for a word, the user can see its full definition.

Application maps (the Maps) has also undergone significant changes. So Apple completely abandoned the use of Google technologies, demonstrated iOS 6 without the slightest hint of the use of Google Maps. Using the Maps application, the user can change the brightness of the map, zoom in or out on the image. The voice control function allows the user to plan and change the route using voice.

The built-in Internet browser Safari in the new iOS 6 displays the multitasking bar in both portrait and landscape orientation of the phone.

The Spotlight search page has greatly increased its functionality. Now the user by entering something into the search bar will be able to find not only a musical composition, contact or application, but also a definition of a word or a solution to a mathematical problem. For example, entering the combination 1 + 1 will not only help you find a solution, but will also open the Calculator application. And entering the word SCREEN will open the definition field for that word and launch the Dictionary application.

Very strange, but this video shows a completely different iOS 6, different from the one we have described over the past few days. For example, I did not see the "promised" silver design, and also not a word: about integration with Facebook, VIP-mail and an improved Notification Center, support for 3D mode in the new Maps application and the ability to sync open iCloud Tabs. We hope that this video demonstrates one of the first builds of iOS 6 and is far from the one that Tim Cook will present to us on June 11 at the WWDC-2012 conference.
