Known for its attention to detail, Apple appears to have out-done itself.

In the new version of its mobile operating system, iOS6, the Californian company has made its metallic on-screen buttons shine when you tilt the phone.

It sounds like a small deal - and frankly it is - but it's also really cool. When you spin the phone around the buttons appear to 'catch the light' and spin around too.

Admittedly we'd have preferred a bit more attention to detail over the its new Maps app - which has so far failed to impress - and a bit less on the buttons. But you can't have everything.

Take a look, above.
