14 DAY TRIAL // The last major new addition we’re featuring in our iOS 6 Features series, Safari is poised to become the world’s best mobile web browser, with stuff like iCloud tabs, offline reading lists, photo uploads and full screen view - all coming in the next major release of iOS this fall.
Apple is keen to deliver the best mobile browsing experience on iPhone and iPad this fall with the release of iOS 6, which brings Safari with iCloud Tabs.
The mobile web browser will keep track of which pages you have open on your devices, including your desktop computer, “so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off on whatever device is handy.”
Fan of Instapaper? Don’t grow too fond of Marco Arment’s service, as Safari might soon take its place with the ability to save pages for offline reading.
“Safari now saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can’t connect to the Internet,” Apple notes.
If you need to upload an image to a certain web site, you no longer have to multitask to get it done. Apple explains:
“And when you’re posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video — or choose from your Camera Roll — without leaving Safari.”
Last, but not least, Mobile Safari will support full-screen viewing in iOS 6. The function will be available in landscape mode, and it will enable users to stay more focused on their opened web pages.
“When you really want to see the whole picture, turn your iPhone or iPod touch to landscape and tap the full-screen icon to view web pages without distractions,” Apple says.
iOS 6 is currently in internal testing at Apple with a planned release date for fall 2012. The Cupertino, California-based computer giant is expected to unveil its next-generation iPhone around the same time.
