Last night at WWDC 2012 many statistics were presented, I also told you part of it, but I missed an interesting one. Last year Apple implemented in iOS 5 the possibility to share on Twitter pictures and links directly from the Photos and Safari applications. It seems that in just over half a year, iDevices have become one of the main methods by which pictures are published on Twitter, with 47% of all pictures that end up in the timelines of users of the famous social network being uploaded from Apple's terminals .
Practically almost half of all pictures published on Twitter are uploaded from iDevices and we are talking about a real achievement for Apple, considering that Twitter is a social network used by hundreds of millions of people. This statistic should not be seen as being entirely attributed to the system implemented in iOS, because the pictures published there were also uploaded with the help of the Twitter application from the App Store. The same cannot be said about Facebook, but the integration in iOS 6 of the APIs of the famous social network will definitely change things. Below you have a list of interesting announcements made by Apple at WWDC 2012, some of them I presented to you, but some of them you are probably reading for the first time.
