The Stocks app kinda makes its way to the iPad in iOS 6

By , Jun 13, 2012

A few stock applications that were on the iPhone never made their way to the iPad. Indeed, the Weather, Stocks, and Clock apps for example have been nowhere to be found on the iPad since its launch in 2010.

With the introduction of iOS 6 beta though, Apple has officially brought the Clock app to its popular tablet – see our video walkthrough. Even though you won’t find its icon anywhere, the Stocks app also makes an appearance…

iDB reader Gurmehar tipped us:

Well this isn’t really a feature, it’s more of an Easter egg. On the iPad, if you ask Siri to “launch Stocks,” it opens the iPhone version of the app which isn’t even installed.

Go ahead, try it for yourself.

Do you know of any new cool features in iOS 6? Please make sure to hit us up with your tips.

      No-one is interested in your pathetic scam. So why don’t you just f*ck off.

    To me, this indicates that the final build of iOS 6 will have the iPad version of Stocks. Why else would they include Stocks for the iPhone in iOS 6 Beta and let users launch it pixel-doubled via Siri. That ain’t good from attention to detail point of view :)
