*** The official iOS 6 thread ***

[Vertigo]

I'm going to download and sync for update. The servers will inevitably be swamped tonight again so it's probably not worth the risk to do it over the air. I'm going to update tomorrow night instead. I'm travelling friday so I really want to try the 'sat nav' out

I usually find that, when a new update is released, downloading it via iTunes takes forever, but many sites post directly links to the IPSW files, which download at full speed, so I just do it that way.

Are there any benefits to doing a clean install?

Nope.

iOS6 review:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/ios-6-review/

The 2nd table in that review shows features coming in iOS6 for iPad 2 & 3.
It says the new iPad will have Siri which it doesn't currently. Is that the same full blown version that is on the iPhone?

What concerns me about upgrading to iOS6:

1) The official Google YouTube app doesn't support Airplay so will we still be able to Airplay YouTube vids via Safari?

2) With Google Maps unsupported, how can we now get Street View? Seeing as it doesn't seem to work in Safari and Google has yet to release a maps app?

What (if anything) is replacing the youtube app?

Its one of the main things I use, along with maps

Google have released a YouTube app which does far more, however, it's iPhone only currently.

1) Having to watch **** pre-roll adverts on Google's YouTube app

if youtube app has ads like this then people will get ****ed off and want something else. Then another company will step in

OTA is a go for my 4S here. not for iPad just yet

 

[Ironic Namesake]

iPad is showing as update available ... hasn't moved from "Estimating time remaining" yet though , I guess the servers are busy

 

[Guest2]

Can you go straight from IOS 5.1 to 6? (or do you need 5.1.1 first)

What will i lose when I upgrade? I have contacts, calendar items, notes on icloud. Will I have to reinstall apps again and lose things like my max payne save game?

Last time i upgraded IOS I lost loads of saves for games

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

iPhone 4 showing as available but then craps out saying resource not available.

Close!

 

[RSR]

It's showing up on my iPad now, shame I am on a train at the mo.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Phone downloading, neat.
