WWDC 2012: Apple iOS 6 coming, banners show

The next version of Apple’s iOS is going to be unveiled at its Worldwide Developers Conference, according to snapshots of some new signage captured by Instagram user Zac Altman.

The banners going up at the San Francisco convention center, Moscone West, where the event will be held, feature a new logo for iOS 6 as well as the familiar iOS tag­line, “The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.” MacRumors noted that the banner shows the number 6 in white over a background of rippling water.
