The software, iOS 6, is expected to include Facebook integration, in a similar way that Twitter is currently integrated into the iOS 5 operating system.

9 to 5 Mac report also said Apple is also expected to replace Google Maps with its own maps app that will include 3D graphics.

According to the report, both the 11- and 13-inch models of the MacBook Air are also expected to get a visual makeover with Retina displays and performance upgrades.he report also said that Apple's desktop computing options, the iMac and Mac Pro will be updated. (ANI)
