Great to hear! Looking forward to all the new features.

I wonder if this will turn on Verizon voLTE in the iPhone 5s.

What about the iPad 3? Apple yours screwed up big time!:mad:
I thought the official name of the iPad 3 is the iPad with Retina Display..... Or is it the iPad 4.....

I guess this will be an indication it may be time to get the new iPad once released and get rid of my iPad 3.

EDIT: Other web sites and articles are basically saying that the iPad with Retina Display is what apple lumps both the iPad 3 & iPad 4 into. It should get this next update. (My guess would be this will be the last major iOS upgrade for the iPad 3 however.)

Would have been nice if I was able to watch it. Constant crashing, chinese translator, TV Truck screen, more crashing, skipping backwards half an hour. I didn't get to see most of it.
