If you’ve been putting off the upgrade to iOS 6 you’ll want to take a look at MacWorld’s step-by-step guide: How to install iOS 6. The guide starts out with a list of devices that can run the latest OS and then lets you know what features you won’t get if your device is older, yet still eligible for the upgrade. The authors suggest backing up your device first, always good advice, and tell you how to go about doing so before moving on to what you need to know for installing the upgrade. Once you’ve successfully upgraded, complete the process using the information under “Set up your iOS device.” This last bit just involves answering questions to get you back on your network of choice, reestablish your Apple ID, and enable iCloud.
Once you’ve upgraded, explore what you can do in iOS 6 with the help of the “Hands on with iOS 6” series.
Music—Music fans will want to check out what’s changed in the way iOS 6 handles music, podcasts, and iTunes U content.
Safari—There are changes to Safari as well, including iCloud Tabs which syncs open tabs between all of your Apple devices. Reading List, introduced in iOS 5, has additional functionality and there’s also a new media upload feature.
Siri—If keeping up with the latest sports news is your thing, you’ll be happy to know that Siri shares your enthusiasm. Get answers to all sorts of sports-related questions. If you’d rather catch a movie or hear suggestions about where to dine, Siri can help you there as well.
Social and sharing—iOS 6 makes it easy to share via Facebook and Twitter, and you can even enlist Siri’s assistance for quick status updates. Other sharing options include Messages, Mail, and Add to Reading List.
