Apple® AAPL today updated iOS to version 6.1, adding LTE capabilities to 36
additional iPhone® carriers and 23 additional iPad® carriers around the world,

content at blazing fast speeds. To date, iOS users have uploaded over nine
billion photos to Photo Stream, sent over 450 billion iMessages and received

“iOS 6 is the world's most advanced mobile operating system, and with nearly
300 million iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices on iOS 6 in just five months,
it may be the most popular new version of an OS in history,” said Philip
Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iOS 6.1
brings LTE support to more markets around the world, so even more users can
enjoy ultrafast Safari browsing, FaceTime video calls, iCloud services, and
iTunes and App Store downloads.”

sports scores, restaurant recommendations and movie listings; Maps with
Apple-designed cartography, turn-by-turn navigation and Flyover view; Facebook
