As with the first beta, Apple mentions a number of changes from iOS 6.0.1, including several related to how developers can integrate Apple's new mapping service in their apps, as well as an improvement to how boarding passes are handled in Passbook, and a few minor changes to Safari.

Apple also released a beta of the Apple TV software, as well as Xcode 4.6 Developer Preview 2. Registered developers can download the betas via Apple's Developer page.

Thanks Mathias!

Redesign?

Now I'm not saying this is due to Forstall getting the boot, but check out the new design for the Passbook start screen.



It's definitely A LOT "flatter" than the previous design, is it possible they're working that fast?

Here's the old one for reference:

Mountain Lion Dock and Swedish clock for iPhone finally? :D
Swedish clock? :)
The one on the iPad, if they already payed 21M they ought as well use it on the iPhone as well :)
Swedish = Sweden

Swiss = Switzerland

Therefore, Swiss Clock, Swiss Army, Swiss Cheese, Swiss Bank, etc.

Is safari snappier?? :D

After all those years... It's no longer funny. It's no longer annoying. It's even no longer sad. It's just... I don't know. Boring?

BTW where's my PowerBook G5?
