Looks like Apple Inc. wasn’t quite prepared for the demand for the new iPhone 5, as the company sold out of its available units in just a few days.
There are lots of small, welcome improvements like this one scattered throughout iOS 6. For instance, the Safari browser can share your Internet browsing activities across multiple devices, through Apple’s iCloud online service. Say you started reading a Boston Globe story on your iPhone, and want to finish it on your iPad. Touch the iCloud icon, and there’s a link to the Globe article.The new Siri lets you launch apps with your voice. Instead of hunting through dozens of icons for Cut The Rope, just tell Siri to start the game and there it is.
Facebook is everyone’s favorite photo-sharing app, so it’s good to see it integrated into the iOS photo service. Indeed, Facebook is now built into many of the phone’s services. You can instantly publish your high score from a favorite game, or use Siri to update your Facebook status by voice.
