iPhone 4 to not get FaceTime over 3G in iOS 6 update

When Apple announced iOS 6, most iOS fans using devices dating back to 2009 were excited, since the upcoming operating system will be accessible on iPhone 3GS as well. Most features are eagerly anticipated, leaving one thinking that even their iPhone 3GS has now been future-proofed, till at least a year more. However, all the hype surrounding the keynote has ended, leaving one assuming that all the announced devices will receive the update. The fine print that has surfaced now,  shows which iOS devices will actually get the entire list of features.The fact that all devices will not get all the features of iOS 6 will be one factor that will be conspicuous by its absence and one would need to have the current generation iPhone to avail of all the features. Else, they will have to stay content with the limitations.
