9to5Mac reports that Apple will finally bring Siri to iPad in iOS 6. According to 9to5Mac, it will be one of the major features for the iPad in iOS 6.
Siri - Apple's intelligent personal
assistant feature is currently available exclusively for iPhone 4S
users. Apple's new iPad that was introduced few months back,
surprisingly only got Siri's dictation feature.
9to5Mac provides the following details of how Sir will work on the iPad:
Unlike on the
iPhone 4S, Siri for iPad is not a full screen experience. This makes
sense given the device’s larger, 9.7-inch display. Siri on the iPad is
activated by a quick hold of the home button, just like on the iPhone
4S. The interface slides up from below the display with a clever
animation. Siri is built into the iPad as a small window on top of
whatever interface the user is currently interacting with. This Siri
window with rounded corners sits at the bottom center of the display, as
you can see in our mockup above. The Siri iPad interface takes very
little space over the iPad interface currently in use, and is designed
with the same linen texture as on the iPhone 4S. Siri for iPad also
works from the lock screen.
They've also created the following mockup based on information they've received from their trusted sources.
But don't get your hopes up, as 9to5Mac
is not sure if Siri will work on iPad 3, iPad 2 and iPad 1. Their
sources are currently tell them that it could be available
exclusively on the new iPad.
It is also rumored that iOS 6 will include an all-new Maps app with 3D mode, which is supposed to be quite incredible, some features from OS X Mountain Lion such as iCloud Tab support, Mail VIPs, "Do not Disturb" toggle for Notifications, and redesigned version of App Store, iTunes and iBookstore apps.
Apple is widely expected to give us a
preview of iOS 6 at next week's WWDC Keynote, followed by the launch of
the beta version. Apple is expected to release iOS 6 to the public only
in October along with the next generation iPhone.
