After the unveil of the Apple iOS 6 operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod, now Apple has rolled out a new upgrade for its iOS app store application. This new update carries new changes in the iOS app store that would surely help users shop easier and right from the app itself. With the help of this update, users can purchase gift cards and can share them with their friends and family.
This functionality would come in real handy for users while shopping during the upcoming festive season. Before this, the gift coupons were only available through physical stores. But unfortunately, this new functionality will only remain exclusive for Apple users in the Unites States only. Yet Apple has not disclosed when this new functionality will be making its way to other countries including India, which is one of the bigger markets for Apple.
It is not the end; this new update also brings in better support for devices with Siri, the virtual assistant. Now Siri would also be able to help their users for the shopping of Apple products and utilising that users can seek a little help from the virtual assistant while getting out the best possible prices for Apple products.

According to the latest reports, “With the new iOS 6.1 update, Apple's Siri voice assistant application can also book movie tickets if told by users to do so.” Apple released the iOS 6.0.1 software update last weekend to fix the glitches and bugs surfacing after the iOS 6.0 update.
In the meantime, iOS developers got the iOS 6.1 Beta build and some sources stated that with the new iOS 6.1 software update, iPhone users will be able to use Siri for purchasing tickets via Fandango, a US based movie ticket service. It seems that this feature might be limited only to the USA or certain countries, unless the Siri manages to use Indian services such as Book My Show or official Movie Theatre websites like PVR Cinemas and Big Cinemas to book the tickets from the iPhone itself. Apple Siri is turning out as the personal assistant for iPhone users due to its potential to help out users in many trivial tasks. However till now there is no fixed time out for the arrival of iOS 6.1 Update.
