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?
To everyone who is unhappy about the transit apps. If you live in a large city there are aps that have updated for iOS 6 and integrate with maps for transit directions
Embark - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/embark-nyc-subway-new-york/id450991137?mt=8
I use the NYC version and it works well. It even has information about service changes/advisories.
I also tried out http://itunes.apple.com/app/id501673331 last night. The directions are more detailed than Embark.
Both apps have data for quite a few cities.
Uh...yes there is.

I've been on iOS 6 beta so long that I forgot all about Do Not Disturb. I live halfway around the world and used to always wake up in the middle of the night to my iOS devices sounding off in unison because of snarky iMessages from dream about his Marco Arment fantasies or asking me help to change his iOS wallpaper or something. Great feature.Manual downloads: http://ios.e-lite.org
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 are 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.
- I can send and receive iMessages from my phone number

Will Google be releasing a map app for iOS 6? I'm going to miss Street View, as awful as it was (compared to the website).
From a few pages back.

Why do you make me suffer, Iphone? It has been in 'Preparing Update' for 20 minutes and at the end of the blue bar for ten.
Nice! SCENE card is what you mean, right?
Yup! Given how shitty their app is for purchases, I didn't think they'd be so on the ball with this update.
Indeed. It's really mostly a set of updates to the built-in apps.Well, got it all set up on my phone. Not noticing anything all that different tbh, but I guess that was to be expected.
Downgraded OS? How?I can't believe I'm willingly downloading a downgraded OS with GMaps gone. Ugh.
omg its up! O_O
its up on itunes and not over the air right?
Downgraded OS? How?
Only thing you might miss is the maps app. There is no other 'downgrade'. Maybe the app store search I suppose but that's it. No need for so much drama.
Looks like Apples Podcast app has been updated.
Is it not terrible anymore?
Podcasts 1.1 adds support for iOS 6. This version also provides:

Additional performance and stability improvements
Not singling you out. In general there are quite a few exaggerated posts in here.My post is now drama?
Podcasts updated with iCloud syncing between devices, autodownload option for only Wifi.

iOS6 isn't perfect but it's not as disastrous as some are making it out to be.
:0Find My Friends updated with location-based alerts.
Anyone else notice the lock sound is not controlled by the overall volume?
I thought lock sound was tied to ringer volume on 5.1.1.Anyone else notice the lock sound is not controlled by the overall volume?
