New Calling Features

Sometimes it's easy to forget the iPhone started off as a cellphone with an iPod thrown in. Apple hasn't forgotten, apparently, and has added several new iPhone calling features to iOS 6. When a call comes in that you can't (or don't) want to answer, simply swipe up to reveal your options. For instance, you can reply immediately with a text message, or set a callback reminder. The Do Not Disturb feature stops all incoming calls and notifications, making it ideal for boardroom meetings and movie theaters alike.
