Welcome To Your New Life: Apple Releases Free iPhone/iPad Update Today
Today is the day your iPhone and iPad gets really, really good. Even if you aren't going to get the iPhone 5, you will still be privy to a major, major overhaul with the new iOS 6 — an operating system that may make all the world a better place.
Gizmodo's very own Sam Biddle does a great breakdown, but we decided to distill some of his observations into a manageable cheat sheet for the new OS (that's operating system, FYI). Instead of major internal improvements, the new upgrade offers some seriously useful integrations: better Facebook, a Siri that makes us happy (not cranky), and a gorgeous new iTunes interface. Just check it all out.
First and foremost, head into settings and swipe General, and then Software Update. If you have room for the hefty two-gig operation, download now.
Facebook
Does your inability to quickly update your status and broadcast your images to your friend network get you down? Worry no more, because the new Facebook is automatically integrated into your system. Take a picture, hit "send," and — voilà — you can upload it to Facebook, just like you can message it to your friends. So much updating, so little time.
