Apple will reportedly bring some features from OS X Mountain Lion to iOS 6 including a Do Not Disturb notifications setting, iCloud Tabs, and Mail VIPs, reports 9to5Mac.

The 'Do Not Disturb' toggle will let you quick disable notifications on your device. Mail VIPs will put a star next to emails received from a specified group of people. iCloud Tabs will let you view a list of tabs opened in the Safari on other devices.

Although previously rumored, iCloud Tabs is not a feature – in its initial implementation in iOS 6 and Mountain Lion – that syncs your entire current web browser work across devices. When the iCloud Tabs button is clicked on an iOS 6 device (or Mac), all the tabs opened on each device are simply shown in a synchronized list. From here, users can quickly pickup individual tabs that they were working on across their Apple devices. The iCloud Tabs button on the iPhone and iPod touch is hidden behind the Bookmarks toolbar.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 6 at WWDC 2012.

Isn't "Do Not Disturb" the same thing as "Airplane Mode"?? Correct me if I'm wrong.

No. Airplane mode disables all wireless functionality. Unless I'm mistaken "Do not disturbâ will stop the notification alarms gong off.

No, its not the same. Airplane mode means wireless off (wifi, GSM, LTE, whatever). So a notification in your calendar will pop up. Or alarm will wake you up, etc. Do Not Disturb means working wireless. You get updates from the web, or text messages, mails, but your phone will remain silent, wont even vibrate, or blink. The most i can imagine to happen is a new icon appears on status bar, that a new notification has arrived.

iCloud Tabs won't impress 95% of users who don't own Mac computers, and thus don't use Safari to do their web surfer when off their iOS devices. The "Do Not Disturb" feature is interesting, but hardly a "Buy It Now" feature.
