    I like the features about incoming call where u can choose to reject a call " when I leave", it automatically reminds you once you move to a new location to get back to the caller. Good when in a meeting. One map app that has everything, turn by turn navigation, business establishment details, reviews and ratings. Also, the do not disturb option where phone will only ring when VIPed number calls or a consistent call which could be an emergency. no need for wifi for facetime now and apple id and phone number integration. Which means u dont have to get up find ur phone if its not with you while u are on ur computer desk and somebody calls facetime. Accept it through any of your idevice same with imessage and same with browsing and history all shared on ur safari through the newly added icloud option, which enables you to retrieve the web adress on your mac or ipad without opening your phone. I can't wait!

          Lmao, a great new update - you can now use your music songs as an alarm tone! Welcome to 2002 Apple fans, even my dumbphones had that feature a decade ago.

            [deleted post]hahaha, come on get real. I used all iphones and they all drop calls, crash and lag more than my current xperia arc. ios is amazingly unstable next to android. I will wait for the new wp8 and see what they will come up with. at least the old wp 7.5 the only os that I never seen anyone complains about its stability and smoothness.

                  A study showing that iOS crashes more than android! So take your so called stability with you. Apple is going to be out of the running soon.

                    So boring, really... Maps and 3D Flyover mode one of the major 'new' features? LOL. They copy not only notifications etc from Android but also from Google earth or is it a copy of Microsoft Bing Maps with Bird's Eye? Both had it for ages...

                      Some kind of joke I guess... What they call Cool new features are already stone aged..
                      "Come to think of it, the two major novelties in iOS in two consecutive years are things the competition has already had for a while."

                        Apple users, get ready to enter the next decade as you will be able to experience a sample of new features others have had since 2010 or earlier.

                        Reject calls by Sms really, they should slip most of the features in quietly to avoid embarrassment add opposed to a full blown Os release with all the fanfare

                            i swear apple is doing absolutely nothing new. all they're doing is playing "catch-up". all these "new" features are old. they maybe new to the iphone but we've seen them in android + other phones.

                            move along. nothing to see here. at least nothing ground breaking.

                              To change the way we look at phones, we have invented 'new wallpapers', we shall now patent this and sue everyone who uses Apples 'wallpaper' idea. APPLE
