Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) Integration on iPhone 5 is Extremely Tech-Savvy
With the launch of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iPhone 5, speculations have come up about Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) unveiling a phone of their own. However, co-founder Mark Zuckerburg has totally discounted the notion. Users have listed numerous features that they would want in the Facebook phone, but those can already be found on iPhone 5.
iPhone 5 and iTunes have integrated Facebook and its apps into it, which is a move on the part of Apple to strengthen its ties with the social network through the iOS 6 software update. The integration of Facebook is more technologically advanced than ever. Scott Forstall, senior vice president of iOS software, has demonstrated this with an example. If a user asks the Siri voice recognition software to make reservations at a restaurant or to recommend a movie, he will not need to touch the screen at all to put these as status updates on Facebook.
Other uses of the smooth Facebook integration are that users can like and share their purchases on iTunes via status updates on Facebook. Users will easily be able to view who has liked their updates and also recommend their choices to friends in this manner. Facebook stocks have climbed slightly due to this feature.
