iOS 6 Comment ?

iOS 5 brought a very practical feature, it is the update
incremental of iOS. The principle is to only download what has changed during
the availability of a new version. However, we are not in
the case of an update of iOS 5, but a move to a new version
major, it is thereforevery likely that we will have the complete system
reinstalland not a light update this time. THE
patches and modifications will then probably be available in
incremental.

Can the update be done wirelessly? without connection with a
computer? We can hope so since Apple with iOS 5 has affirmed its desire to
“cut the cord” to move into the post-PC era. However, it is not
100% sure.

iOS 6 for whom?

Like every major iOS update, some machines remain
unfortunately on the wayside and not receiving the update. It is
as well as the iPhone 3G remained stuck to iOS 4.3. For this version,
compatibility is relatively broad since the iPhone 3GS however
aged over three years will be able to benefit from it, but theiPad the
first generation will not be able to.

However, not all functions will be available on all
machines. Here is a compatibility matrix of the main
new features:

iOS 6: should I update?

The obvious answer seems to be: yes, you should take advantage of the updates
up to date and the latest versions, but sometimes it can burden the system and
slow it down. Unfortunate experiences can make one doubt the interest of
upgrade to iOS 6 on old machines. We are thinking in particular of the iPhone
3GS.

However, this iOS 6 version is a bit special, we talked about it at the beginning
week in this article, the applications compiled to take advantage of
the elongated screen of the new iPhone 5 will not work on iOS 5 and
will therefore require the presence of iOS 6. This means that quickly, staying at
iOS 5 will deprive the user of updates to their applications and
news that appear on the App Store.
