That's it for Facebook integration. Next up, enhancements to the phone app.

Does this make a "Facebook phone" less likely? Not that it was really likely before.

New control for when a call comes up: Reply with a message, and "remind me later."

A bunch of "reply with message" options to let you do a quick reply. Included in the remind me later options are: "one hour, when I leave, when I get home, when I get to work."
dan.ackerman 6/11/2012 6:26:03 PM
Adding "reply with message" is great for iPhone, b/c my outgoing voicemail message literally says "I probably can't pick up right now, so just e-mail me instead."

Another new feature: Do not Disturb. Lets you tell your phone not to bother you with interruptions. Those texts and alerts still come in, Forstall notes.

There's controls to control things like phone calls too, so you can let in phone calls from a group. There's also a "repeated calls" option where if a person calls you after
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:27:23 PM
If a person calls you twice within three minutes, the second call goes through.

Wow, this new Do Not Disturb feature is pretty interesting. I can see myself really tweaking the settings on that for just the right level of off-the-grid.
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:27:48 PM
Next up: FaceTime tweaks. Works over cellular now. Big claps for that.
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:28:23 PM
Also, phone number and Apple ID now unifying, Forstall says. So if someone calls your phone number, you can answer it on your iPad or your Mac. Same thing with iMessage.

Neat, similar to some of the stuff Palm was showing off with Web OS. Now onto Safari...

Two-thirds of Web traffic is in Safari, Forstall notes. Highlighting the new iCloud tabs feature in Safari.
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:29:35 PM
New feature: Offline Reading List. Once it's added to your reading list, it's downloaded and cached so you can read it offline. Also, a new photo upload feature.

iCloud tabs
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:29:45 PM
Lets you upload photos like you would on desktop machines.

Smart app banners
Josh Lowensohn 6/11/2012 6:30:36 PM
New: Smart app banners. Gives site owners a way to add a little "we have an iOS app!" in a less annoying way. It slides down from the top, and links directly to the app, and also offers a way to let you open it in the app if you already have it.

Switching from Web sites to dedicated apps is a dual-edged knife. For Yelp-style stuff, sure,
