Last month, we highlighted a number of device restrictions regarding Apple's
high-profile features for iOS 6, noting that many of them would not be
compatible with the iPhone 3GS while smaller subsets would not be supported
on the iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
But with yesterday's release of iOS 6 Beta 3 for developers, Apple has
improved feature support for the iPhone 3GS, adding shared Photo Streams and
VIP mail filtering. The change was noticed by a number of iPhone 3GS users
, and Apple has confirmed the removal of those restrictions on its iOS 6
preview page.
While the iOS 6 preview page previously contained eight footnotes outlining
various restrictions on features, that number has been reduced to six
following the release of iOS 6 Beta 3. The two removed footnotes include:
- Shared Photo Streams requires iOS 6 on iPhone 4 or later or iPad 2 or
later, or a Mac computer with OS X Mountain Lion. An up-to-date browser is
required for accessing shared photo streams on the web.
- VIP list and VIP and Flagged smart mailboxes will be available on iPhone 4
or later and iPad 2 or later.
The fact that iOS 6 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS at all marks a
significant step for Apple, as the device was also the minimum requirement
for iOS 5 released last year. But with Apple still selling the three year-
old device, the company apparently felt that it needed to bring many of the
new features of iOS 6 to the iPhone 3GS and is still working to add as many
as it can within the constraints of the older hardware's capabilities. |
