oh man... developers have to be pissed over this new app store. what a fucking mess. wow.
Downloading a 5.1.1 ispw from the net will wipe everything that isn't backed up by icloud on my phone right?
ios6 is pathetic for ip4 users.
My fav feature of ios6 is that they moved bluetooth a few menus up. Everything else went backwards. All the apps have identity crisis', why is the music app white, and everything else black? Icons are orange now? Apple man, what are you doing?

Is this an error in the maps-app or does New York really have parts that look this ghetto?
It also has that if you play podcasts via the music app instead of the podcasts app. Still waiting to put the podcasts app back on my devices. I don't feel it's safe to do so yet, but it really sucks to not be able to download podcasts directly to the device.

How old is your 4? I don't know a lot about the iPhones batteries but the decrease battery performance may be a product of an old battery and not the OS.
Does anyone know how long the iPhone battery lasts before it should be replaced.

Record heat. New York is melting.
iOS 6 Breaks the App Store | Pixite Apps
I don't think the change is bad but for the scrolling/swiping mishap:
That's messed upPixite Apps said:
It's not that bad unless you care about being able to fucking use the App store.

It's bad for developers IMO. The amount of swipes and taps to get to anything that is not in the top 4-5 has doubled if not more. a lot of good apps will get buried even more so than they are now.
Seriously they went in the exact opposite direction they should have gone.

Wow. Apple. It just works

Looks like they need some massaging.
I won't doubt that my 4's battery is worse now than when I first bought it, but this was an overnight difference that I noticed immediately after upgrading to iOS 6.
:/ Well I usually search for apps on appshopper and get recommendations from apple fan blogs and sites

Most of the sales come from people randomly browsing iTunes from their phone, recommendations from friends and if/when it hits mainstream. This new store is going to be a serious blow for people trying to get even a little exposure on iTunes. They even buried the categories section in favor of genius? wtf lol
Apps can add things to Passbook, which will take a while as they get updated to support the feature, but as it's publicly described format, companies can also just add them via websites or emails. BA could start adding Passbook-format code to their mobile boarding pass emails that would add the boarding pass to Passbook, which then allows it to show up on your lock screen when you're at the airport.
You can see how it works by creating a sample at Pass Source. Try the Oceanic Airlines boarding pass (ha).

Just read a bit about this on the BBC, pretty shocked that whole towns have been relocated by using the power of the iPhone. The article is here, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19664487

That sucks, I'm an Android user who's going to switch to iOS once the shortages of iPhone 5s die down, so my knowledge of iOS is only for iPad. But the nice thing with Android is I can turn off featured like GPS until I need it to try and keep battery life better.

Its just some kinks in brand new tech thats all. But even then, you have to admit that its amazing. None of the competing techs from Google or anywhere else that do this kind of 3D mapping are flawless, they all have issues with bridges and textures and buildings and warping. But its a start, and its fucking amazing. In a few years or so, I'm sure you can imagine that its going to be incredible what 3D maps are able to do.

Does this add Facebook contacts into its own folder? Or directly into all your other Contacts?
iPhone 4 is more stable and runs faster, but the only real downside is that Maps is nowhere near as good as Google Maps, which Google should be fixing by releasing its own Google Maps app.
My mom isn't going to use Maps so that isn't going to matter. Just making sure that the phone doesn't become slower is all.
It definitely feels snappier, but it's still an older single core processor, so don't expect miracles.

It's like calendars; there's a toggle to enable Facebook contacts or not.

This Map mess is one of Apple's biggest mistakes in a long time, I hate to say this but I don't think this would have happened under Jobs, he would have seen it was not ready and some way kept Google maps on until iPhone 6 or found some way to get his people have the current Map app working to at least to where it was acceptable. Personally I have been using Waze more than Google's built in App in the past year, but Google Maps I still like using for many things.

Has Groups in the contact list changed?
It now feels janky when trying to look at one specific group; tap group button, then untick all contacts, then tick specific group, then tick done.
I'm sure it wasn't like that before but I use my mac a lot to organise contacts so I can't remember?

It's new (and janky).
Aside from an occasional sponsored result, I wonder how much revenue that service really gave them on iOS. Maps is an even stronger android selling point now, and I'm curious if google is even sweating this.
Same, performance seems a little better but battery life has dropped massively.

Apple had to pay Google to use their Maps API.
Apple paid money to Google for access to the maps API. I'm pretty sure it was a hefty penny.
They've been making more off Apple when it comes to browsing than Android.
Agreed.

True but for even how bad the Map app is and it is bad, most iPhone uses won't switch because of it and many likely will never switch, it really is in Google's best interest to release a Google Map App like they did with YouTube, rather than cut off millions of loyal users who were with them using their services from the start.
Wtf is this maps shit? Can't see anything on the map. Seriously, just gimme back the google maps. People outsite US as stuffed.
This is clearly just a display bug, not a data problem. Look:
iphone 3gs
ipad satellite
ipad map
ipad zoomed in a bit

how do I get flyover?
I dont see it on maps

I believe this. But if google makes a 3rd party app in the store, the apple funding will not continue. So what's the point in doing it?
I could see google marketing thinking that these loyal users should then go android.
Not saying they won't do it of course. Just doesn't seem so cut and dry to me. They make competing hardware with a competing OS. Google services are still available in ios in many ways, and all can be accessed by any browser. So why not keep the smooth sleek experience in android and give people a core reason to switch. Especially since turn by turn is no longer exclusive
They'll continue collecting data and ad revenue from those people using their service instead of Apple's.
Increased advertising revenue.

I'm also noticing the battery is draining faster on my 4S. Not a big difference, but definitely noticeable.
