do you own one now? if you use it more for the web and apps than music, then I say probably yes.
better screen (IPS), better camera and 4S speed make it a more powerful, all around device.
but if it's used mainly a music player, then nah.

The cloud tabs feature has been a fucking godsend for my MBP workflow. I used to almost always use pastebot on my iPad/phone and OS X in order to copy url links or specific text from a url, so this is welcomed.
I would have been using that feature with chrome a long while ago if it weren't for the fact that I use Safari on ML.

I own one, use it for gaming the web and apps.
I'm in the fence to update to iOS 6
I use Firefox on Mac and some browser called Sleipnir on iPad, Safari on iPhone, so I can't really take advantage of it, LOL. But I've switched back to browsing GAF on the iPad in Safari so I can easily pick up where I left stuff between iPhone and iPad at least.
unless you use maps all the time and/or rely on street view, then an update to iOS 6 is fine. it's generally improved in all other areas. safari, for example, loads pages slightly faster.

It uses Waze data as well? Interesting. It seems as if they do have competent data providers. I wonder why things got screwed up?
they did not care about quality control

I'm sure that is it! :/
Yes, that would be cool. Also tying it to a calendar.
Yup, definitely seems like an obvious inclusion. But I guess it could be detrimental if it ends up tripping without your knowledge and you miss a bunch of important calls..
Speaking of which, has that improved at all? I forget what it was coined, geo-fence or something. I remember it not being too reliable with siri, so I wonder if it's gotten better or usable.

Yeah, I just noticed this yesterday too.
Couldn't you always do that?

That's not new to iOS 6. I've had that option on my 4S since I got it.
You can put it as the default behaviour in Safari's settings.

My 4S' battery lasts about 25% as long as it did pre-iOS6 and my phone is noticeably much hotter. I've tried restoring it and using the reset all settings option. It's very annoying. I think my iPad 3's battery is draining faster too but it's not so severe.
I tried out the turn-by-turn today. It worked really well, and was really quick at re-routing when I went off route.
I'm actually starting to think that the maps aren't that bad, it's main problem are the POIs. There were ones on it that haven't been there for about 15 years, and others that have been there longer than that but aren't on the map.

no, the problem with the maps is the lack of detail.
They (appear to) have only used car-centric map data which makes the maps useless for personal navigation
yep
just installed iOS6 on my iPad (never on my phone) and the maps are absolutely worthless in my country (Sweden)

Used maps last night to get to a restaurant in SF.
Battery drained from 60% to under 30 during this time.
Driving through SF, information about surroundings was sparse.
Perhaps maybe spend some of your 100b cash reserves on R&D before pushing out such an immature product.

Turn by turn GPS always kills the battery, that's not unusual. You should plug it into a charger.
Ok, so I'm using Siri on iPad, and I ask her how the weather is (I'm in NYC). She says that it's in the 80s and 90s. I'm like, what the fuck, it's cool and in the 60s in Manhattan. So I click on the Yahoo icon on the weather results, and it takes me to the Yahoo page... and it lists this as the location.
What the fuck, Apple. Get your act together.

Most of our chargers are obsolete thanks to lightning.

She picked the best NY.

Yep, same annoying problem. I've even asked Siri for "weather in New York City" and it still returns New York, Texas. Since I live on the west side of Manhattan I work around it by asking the weather in Jersey City.

why not just use the pulldown notification center widget?
I'm on the iPad... Is there a way to do that without jail breaking?

Is Siri not really working for anyone else. I keep trying to ask about thing and Siri keeps saying "uh oh there's a problem."
can you just ask for weather in "manhattan"?
edit. since siri is location aware, try leaving out the city altogether in your request

I don't see the weather widget 
Just tried "weather, Manhattan" and "weather outside," still returns New York, Texas. Seems like a common problem after googling.

that is fuuuuuuuucked.
but I can't help but find this kind of funny since it's trying SO HARD to tell you the wrong thing, no matter what input you give it. that's dedication to pissing off the user.
Yeah it's pretty bad.. Considering the population density of New York I'm surprised its not fixed yet.. can't imagine it's hard to fix either
Finally decided to clean up my photo album. But photos in folders are just references to the main camera roll. Okay, not terrible, makes sense.
But now I want to delete photos out of the camera roll, and there's no way to eyeball which ones are in albums and which aren't, until you finally hit the delete key. Frustrating.
Am I missing something?

Fuck that. What about the 80,000 people who live in Manhattan, Kansas?!

Does the podcast app really need to list every episode of the podcast ever as unplayed when you subscribe? It would be nice to have an option to just list the last three episodes or something.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Multi-finger swipe *really* needs to make its way to the iPhone. I use my iPad in a completely different way and I would rather the phone be able to respond in the same way with regards to input.
Why is there *still* no manual EQ option. They added the 'late night' preset so, why not give the user the ability to put together their own, on device?
It amazes me that there's still no SB settings/NC settings equivalent. WTF?
iOS 6 does nothing for me.
