    Apple’s iOS 6 New 3D Maps Screenshots Leaked

    Apple’s iOS 6 New 3D Maps Screenshots Leaked

    A new purported image of Apple’s upcoming Maps service has surfaced and this time by the guys at BGR who just posted a few images of Apple’s iOS 6 Maps app with 3D option which was heavily rumored this month.

    These shots looked very likely and they add up to the claims that Apple has worked on an in-house mapping solution for years now. Apple is reportedly testing its 3D technology in build 10A314 of iOS 6.

    Apple has been working on an in-house mapping solution for a few years, and it appears as if the company is finally ready to release a new Maps app for iOS, sidestepping Google’s mapping data for its own. BGR has obtained exclusive information and photos of parts of Apple’s new Maps app from a trusted source, and the app features a refreshed user interface including a brand new navigation bar. This bar, we’re told, is silver instead of blue. Since the current Maps app follows the standard blue iOS color scheme, we think it’s possible Apple might shift toward a silver color theme in iOS 6 like on the iPad.

    The iPhone version of Maps has a floating locate me button (it sounds very similar to Android’s Google Maps app) in the bottom left corner. To access 3D mode, which will make use of Apple’s C3 Technologies acquisition, you have to peel back the lower right corner of Maps just like the current version and enable 3D mode. Once enabled, you can switch in and out of 3D mode by tapping a 3D icon in the lower left corner. A photo of this feature can be seen in our gallery.

    iPhone 5 Mockup

    iPhone 5 Mockup

    The next-generation iPhone, iPhone 5, rumor mill is hot on tracks as we are approaching the announcement time. Previous rumors suggested a bigger screen and today we have more tidbits that worth noticing.

    The next iPhone, iPhone 5, no doubt will sport a slimmer shell and feature a taller screen display, probably to keep the overall device measurements. The new display will sport around 1132 x 640 pixles at 326 ppi measuring a 4″ display with 16:9 ratio (current iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have 960 X 640 pixels, 3.5″ with 3:2 ratio).
