iOS 6 is an Upgrade

An OS (operating system) upgrade brings new features and major changes to your phone, including new ways to do old tasks (e.g., iOS 6 has new maps.) It's like getting a new phone. Don't ignore the mesage to upgrade when it appears on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad screen, but be sure to complete the following steps for a smooth upgrade. See the new features of iOS 6.
