*** The official iOS 6 thread ***

[Oh Ed not again.]

Got it going on the phone now rather than the iTunes and it's gone from 4 hours remaining to just 6 minutes, much better

Ha opposite with me, just started the iPad and it reckons 47 minutes to download.

My Mac App Store is taking a while to check for new software glad I put the GM on last week.

Updating the 4, then the 2

 

[Big-Mac-Please]

Dunno how you cant upgrade. iOS5 ruined my iPad 1. Totally dog poo now

What did it do to it??

Mines engraved and was a gift to my wife when our son was born.

Looks like you (finally!) don't have to enter your password when just updating an app.

Edit: plus it no longer kicks you out the appstore when updating.

So they can do something right when they want to, shame couldnt be said for the Maps app!

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

As long as you backup before updating then restore from the backup you should lose nothing at all.

That sounds like some good changes!

Been using it for two days now, impressions:


1. Battery life seems as good as iOS 5.
2. Road Maps looks amazing.
3. Satellite imagary is ****.
4. No street-view.


Otherwise, nothing to see here. (On an iP4 anyway, getting a iP5 later anyways).
