IOS6 perk: Undisturbed sleep?

Evening all :)

OOh everyone got a bit excited about the IPhone 5 didn't they? Well not me. I'm not eligible for a upgrade until 2024 2014 having only ditched my Blackberry in favour of the IPhone 4s in April. I love my little IPhone and I use it for everything. Including my alarm clock. Now, this is where me and Mr Apple fell out of love a little bit. With my old Blackberry I could pop it onto Bedside Mode and sleep safely knowing none of my notifications (facebook, email, twitter)would come through in the dead of night and wake me (perish the thought!) Bedside mode would keep things hush hush until the alarm went off. Lovely.

When I made the switch to IPhone i thought with all it's technological fabulousness it would share this little feature, but it was not to be! If I wanted to use the alarm clock feature then any and all of the notifications could come through whenever they liked. (There is the option to disable notifications but I didn't want to enable and disable them EVERY DAY) So I have put up with five months of random beeps in the middle of the night occasionally disturbing my precious sleep.

I suppose I could have bought an alarm clock....

Well anyway, yesterday was the launch of IOS6 for the Iphone which I downloaded last night. I had a little browse through some of the new features and, like a lot of people I was pretty disappointed.  (The maps are RUBBISH! They don't even recognise my town, instead it gives my address as being in the next town, yeah great.) Even thought they seem to have taken 10 steps back in some regards they have managed to redeem themselves with the fab Do Not Disturb feature :) (Settings>Do Not Disturb). Well done Mr Apple, we can be friends again!
