dumb question:

If I have my iphone 4s jailbroken, can I update? I never got 5.1, can I just get that then 6.0 and have nothing wrong with my phone? (Outside of the fact that it won't be jailbroken)

 

[Mr Swine]

Installing it right now on my iPad 2!

 

[Tobor]

I've looked at the use cases and don't think it's faster than doing anything manually. Well, I do (or did, rather) use the "call my girlfriend" feature a lot but that could be done without Siri too... and obviously wouldn't be too useful on my iPad.

I set a lot of reminders and calendar entries, so it will be very useful for me. Keep in mind, I have LTE turned on, and use my iPad at work.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Still waiting for it to be available on both my 4S and iPad 3.

Edit: Now available on my iPad, still waiting on iPhone.

Edit 2: Both going now. Yay!

 

[Enco]

Up in the UK!

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Godamn I need to download iTunes 7.1 first

 

[eunao]

Finally EU got it, can't wait to try the turn-by-turn

 

[DrBaalzamon]

Still showing up as 5.1.1 as up to date on my Phone.

 

[Tr4nce]

Up in the Netherlands as well. ITunes and through iPhone over air.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Its out here in The Netherlands!

#Hype!

 

[AllGamer]

Up in Germany too. iPad 3rd Gen OTA.

 

[Ken Masters]

Downloading on my iPad now, no longer will I be jealous of you guys in this thread who were apart of the beta

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Downloadin'!!

 

[VoxPop]

Seeing as if I should update my iPad 3 to 6.0 and lose my jailbreak. What real benefits do I get aside from the addition of Siri?

 

[thetechkid]

For anyone already with ios6, do podcasts actually work with the app?

 

[Nori Chan]

35 minutes of wifi. I love slow internet!

Can't wait though

Edit: now it says 10 minutes waaaat :O

Worse maps app and no YouTube app it seems.

 

[zigg]

The very last tiny part of "Preparing Update" is taking a disproportionately long time.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

It went from 35 minutes left to 54 minutes and now 78 minutes left. /o\

Now 81. :/

 

[pacman85]

i have an iphone 4 with the most recent beta build. i'm at work right now so i can't really connect to itunes. i was hoping i could get this gm release over the air. so far, no luck. i'm in the central part of usa by the way.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Youtube replacement app is already on store.

 

[Enco]

2 hours...

 

[Ken Masters]

10 minutes left, got to love hospitals ultra fast wifi

 

[Quick]

26 minutes for me.

I had the GM, and it said that my phone was up to date, so I reverted back to 5.1.1 and updated.

 

[Wario64]

Can't wait for more iOS 6 Maps complaints


App Store is so weird to me, it's like it loads stuff whenever it wants to

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Youtube replacement app is already on store.

For iPhone it appears, not iPad.

 

[MicH]

Only 12 minutes total for me. Finishing in 30 seconds. Very fast.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

For iPhone it appears, not iPad.

Yes correct. Google is still working on iPad version.

 

[Ken Masters]

Wait, no new YouTube app on iPad? WTF

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

How on earth do I update if I've been using a beta?

 

[amm]

do I have to back up my phone if I update OTA with wifi, or will everything be the same?

 

[The_Inquisitor]

How on earth do I update if I've been using a beta?

Wondering same thing.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

iOS 6 GET!

 

[Tedesco!]

5 hours to download? Geez.

 

[BKXB]

Woohoo, Cineplex Mobile app (for Canadians, I suppose) updated for Passbook integration!

Download is over 50MB. D'oh.

 

[Quick]

Like I mentioned above, I went back to 5.1.1, then updated via iTunes, since it was telling me I was up to date.

Nice! SCENE card is what you mean, right?

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Same here, how do I update my retina iPad? It's running on Beta 4.

My iPhone running iOS 5 is updating fine though.

Isn't the GM what's being released today?

That means I would have to do full backup on work computer right?

 

[Mr. Hyde]

How's the turn by turn navigation? I don't care how the maps app looks. I just want a decently accurate navigation method.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Will the download continue in the background if the device goes to sleep? I figured it would, but after letting both my iPad and iPhone go to sleep, then checking progress, it felt like they had both halted. Could be just incredibly slow downloads at the moment as the servers get hammered.

My iPhone is fluctuating between 20 minutes and 3 minutes until complete.

 

[elsk]

If you make a backup then your installation will be shitty. Start clean/fresh.

I've yet to have a single issue while navigating, and I've been using it since beta 1.

Manual downloads: http://ios.e-lite.org

Is anyone on iPad actually upgrading to 6? There's no YouTube app yet AND we lose Google Maps while the rest of the features are either inconsequential or phone-specific.

Youtube.com -> Save to home screen.

For me, these things are worth it to upgrade on the iPad:
- Safari has iCloud tabs, file uploading, jpegs aren't downscaled if they're more than 2MB (critical for retina sites on the 2012 iPad), and a faster javascript engine.
- I can send and receive iMessages from my phone number
- Facebook integration for single sign on in apps, friends are synced in my contacts list
- Haven't given it a real world spin yet with my family members since they don't have iOS 6, but I like the idea of shared photo streams since they're not all on Facebook.
- Do not disturb. My iPad lights up at night and brightens the room when a new notification comes in. I don't need to see them at night when I have my phone.
- Mail lets you attach photos and videos inside the app, has pull to refresh, and can maintain different signatures for multiple accounts.
- App store doesn't kick you out when downloading an app or prompt you for a pass when updating.

 

[Quick]

No idea. I'm assuming there's a slight difference.

I suppose so, or backup to iCloud if you have WiFi over there.

 

[shadyspace]

yoooo is there serious no arrival time in directions

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Yeah I am backing up to iCloud while docked to work computer.

 

[LyleLanley]

Just curious, first time OS upgrader, do I need to do anything to make sure I dont lose all my game saves, pics, messages, EVERYTHING from my phone? Or does the upgrade just "work" is there anything I need to do on my end?

The upgrade should just work, but it never hurts to have an iCloud backup anyways.

 

[Expendable.]

Hm, I live in NYC and live on public transport directions. Any other NYC'ers not upgrading because of this? Or is there a workaround?

 

[pxleyes]

Uh...yes there is.
