Apple has unveiled its latest mobile operating system, iOS6
The operating system, which runs on its iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices,
will no longer have Google Maps software.
Apple will instead run its own mapping app, which has a high-quality 3D mode,
on the platform.
Google announced its own 3D mapping software last week on its competing
mobile platform, Android.
Apple's updated iOS software is being released in beta on Tuesday, and will be
available for general consumers by the autumn, chief executive Tim Cook said
Macbook revamp
The company also announced revamped models in its Macbook Pro and Macbook Air
ranges.
Google last week revealed its
own mapping software, which also has 3D capabilities
Its new Macbook Pro is 0.71 inches thick, with a high-resolution Retina
display. It utilises Intel's Ivy Bridge processor.
Its slimline Macbook Air range has also been upgraded with enhanced graphics
and processing capabilities.
Both will offer a free upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, the latest version of
the Mac operating system which is set for release in July.
Among its features is enhanced synchronisation between desktop, laptop and
mobile, thanks to iCloud, the company's cloud-based storage service.
Once again, predictions that Apple was set to announce a long-rumoured
television failed to materialise.
