How To Download iOS 6 Without Itunes In 5 Easy Steps
Apple has just released the iOS 6 for download, so you can now check out all the new features and on your iPhone, Ipod, and Ipad. The new iOS (which stands for information operating system) comes with a few major updates:
- The Map app is now run by TomTom, with turn-by-turn spoken navigation. If you want transit directions like Muni and Bart you’ll have to download the separate Google app in the App Store
- Passbook is an app that is designed to organize your coupons, loyalty cards, and movie tickets in digital form. To download apps (Fandango, Live Nation, Ticketmaster, United Airlines, etc.) for the Passbook, click on App Store button at the bottom of the app.
- The in-call feature is a convenient one, letting users swipe the right button during a call to quickly send messages such as “Can’t talk right now…I’ll call you later.”
Here’s A Quick Lesson On How To Download iOS 6 without Itunes in 5 Easy Steps:
