Yeah it's annoying to me too. Everything else is much better than the old stock app though.
Should be coming soon though. Many have put it in their reviews.

Why is my phone hoarding 3.5 GIGS as "Other" after this update?
I have to update thirty-some apps one by one because of this.
HELP ME, AppleGAF.

Nope, haven't experienced anything like that so far. Probably the only hitch was when the app store was loading my past purchases, but there's a ton of apps so I wasn't too surprised it took a while.

When your phone is connected to your PC, it's in iTunes under the "Summary" tab.

Anyone with a 4 should be very careful updating to this.
Battery life just gets sapped now. OS became very sluggish after 1/2 a day and needed a reboot.
We all know about the mediocre maps but you won't even get turn by turn directions.
DND feature is well done.

Mine has been operating better than before after updating , hopefully it doesn't get sluggish for some reason.

updating to iOS 6 from an iPhone doesn't make sense, you downgrade in maps and don't even get turn by turn

Is it just me or are the 'show details' toggle in the updates section really finicky? sometimes when i push it it opens the app page, sometime it shows the update notes.
must be a really small ass 'touch zone'. And is it just me or does 'show more reviews' on review pages not work?
iphone 4S.
btw: i'm really debating if I should just block cnet on twitter. fucking getting tweets about ios6 features and what not like every hr!
But i guess all the other tech sites were kinda like that...

I've had 6.0 on my 4 since the GM last week and the opposite has happened - everything is WAY better.
Yes. Safari is faster, and there are a lot of nice tweaks.
Dalrymple just shot down the rumor that Google already submitted an app to Apple.

If it's satellite imagery or POI problems, maps.google.com and add it to the homescreen.

Apple's own turn by turn navigation seems to be fine. Waze is also fine.

How does your iPhone "automatically" update? It doesn't work that way.
So is Passbook broken - as in you can't even use the link to the App Store - for everyone else?
Oh, and for the maps - I prefer the new look and feel, shame about the data content though. Here in Auckland the Transport Agency's own app was always my standby (and for everyone else I know) if I needed public transport, so that hasn't affected me.

It says "there is an update available. Do you want to update?"
People press yes, and the phone updates automatically.
No idea. She probably said yes to the update, and automatically got passbook is probably what she meant. And maps.
I just told her hopefully google maps will release a separate app like the old one.

Depends. How often do you use public transportation and how often do you use maps?
I'm just surprised at how dependent people are with maps. Got a dedicated gps app years ago cuz google maps is pretty shit for navigation purposes.
Trying to use it while driving is probably one of the more dangerous things you can do on the road.

Don't know why. But every time I unlock my phone(or press home while locked) the GPS icon shows up. After unlocking it goes away after a few seconds. I don't have any location based apps running. I even closed everything just to be sure.
It never did this before updating. Starting to bug me because I am worried about battery drainage. It doesn't do it on my iPad 3g.
So is there some new GPS pinging activity hidden in this update? I am going to start wearing a tinfoil hat.

The AppStore is notoriously persnickety when it comes to time. I had the same problem all yesterday, and I read that if you move the date one year forward, try, and then set it back it should work. I tried this yesterday, and can confirm for at least my phone that it did solve the problem.
It's possibly just a setting like automatic timezone or something. If you got to settings and location you can see which apps and features have pinged your location inthe last 24 hours.
Seems ahead of its time.

I looked and didn't see anything that I didn't knowingly use since yesterday(camera, weather, ect.)

How about we give it a week or so it see how it evolves huh?
Then you're probably good.
Maybe it's weather app pinging. Did you check your system settins user location? There are some system services that can ping.

Is shared photo stream an iPad only feature? I can't seem to figure out a way to do it on my 4S.

Select a photo, tap the share button, select photo stream.

I checked under settings>privacy>locations services. The weather app has a grey arrow indicating it was used in the last 24 hours. But that could be because I checked it this morning.
Any other place I should look?
If you pull down the Notification Center and it has the weather widget enabled and you have Location Services for Weather turned on, it too could cause a ping.

now that i think about it, the'updated look' for certain apps is fucking weird.
Maybe they are just gonna ditch rounded edge squares for everything by ios 7 or 8.
'if samsung wants to copy this, than it ain't cool anymore. it's tainted'.

Pretty much ditto for me. I think iOS 6 is a great update, with Maps being the one thing that seems to be sticking out as not being all that great. That said, Maps is even working fine for me in my area. No real complaints here.
Well, it doesn't require them if you get a card with the appropriate file format through mail, no?
Honestly I'm not sure, haven't personally had a use case for it yet. Just going by the impressions I've been reading.
Man, the Appstore runs like total garbage on my iPhone 4. Slow and laggy as hell and constantly dumping me back to the springboard when I try and check my purchase list.
The new layout is fucking horrible too.
And what's with all the UI inconsistency now? Different icons, different layouts, changes to the dialer to eye searing light grey same goes for the music player, fucking hideous.
I'm going to leave my new iPad on 5.1 till Apple get their shit together.
