Tech giant Apple launched the new iOS 6 that offers great features. Apple gave a lot of reasons why users should get the new mobile operating system.

Apple presented the latest version of its mobile operating system at the WWDC event yesterday packed with over 200 new and improved features that will be released this fall. Below are the 10 features that will suffice the question why Apple users should get the new iOS 6.

Facebook Integration: Last year, Apple integrated Twitter in its iOS. This year, Cupertino-based company integrated the largest social media as many users complained with the difficulty of using Facebook with iOS. Now, users will be able to post status updates, photos and links from other iOS applications.

Siri: Siri made a big debut with the release of iPhone 4S; however, it received mockery from users as it has not been very helpful like how Apple advertised it. Now, the personal assistant was improved and can now open other applications and effective in using research and finding information. Moreover, Siri is now available in various languages which is a great improvement to the feature.

Apple was reported to be working with Yelp, Inc. to include reviews, ratings and prices when you search for restaurants and other businesses. The Cupertino-based company is also working with OpenTable Inc. to make reservations through your iOS devices.

FaceTime: Since the launch of FaceTime, it has been available in Wi-FI, which has limitations. Now that it is available over 3G, you can expect to increase its function exponentially.

Eyes Free: Users can now use their iPads and iPhones while driving due to the new feature that will allow them to access various features through Siri.

"Do Not Disturb" Option: Apple's new iOS includes preventing messages and text notifications from disturbing you at night or in an important meeting. You can now control how and when you get back to people. If you cannot call someone back immediately, you can set a reminder to call that person back later or have a text message sent directly to the caller. New iOS 6 has a "call when you leave" feature that reminds you to call back when you are leaving a building or office. The phone can detect when you are leaving.

Passbook: Tickets are now digitized with this new app. This is complete with QRCodes and 2-D barcodes. Gain access to the movies theater and sporting events by simply flashing your iPhone to the ticket counter.

Apple Maps: Apple dropped Google Maps in iOS 6 as it developed its own Apple Maps that offers offers turn-by-turn navigation, points-of-interest searching, integration with Siri for commands, and the ability to submit anonymous traffic/incident reports. It also includes a flyover/3-D mode that offers incredible detail of U.S. cities. The presentation of the Apple Maps is really impressive but we have to be sure if it can kill its rival Google Maps.

The aforementioned features are some of the great offerings of the new iOS 6. The new iOS is now available in beta version for registered developers. This mobile operating system will be available to iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPad 2 and iPad 3 later this year and probably the new iPhone 5.
