The great macdebate (now with roids)

I've not tapped install. They say that maps is really crap in the UK, and what's that passbook thing? Is there a practical use for it here at all? Buy a phone voucher for Starbucks and baseball games? I'm not in America or the future and I still use cash.

I put it on my ipad yesterday and maps is rubbish. There is no street view and apparently there is a greggs opposite my house!!

Also no YouTube app anymore.

[pubjoe]

I ended up installing it.

Youtube can be re-downloaded from the app store, but google maps can't yet.

App Store makes it even harder to discover non-popular apps as now a search brings up one app per page instead of ten or so.



That blurry fog is as close as I can get to my house. WOW, I can almost see where I live on the internet!!!

Not apple's best. Nice shiny volume button though.

YouTube is only available on iPhone and not iPad yet.

The maps for the centre of Birmingham has really nice 3d buildings. Where I live is a bit more blurry but a lot better than your neck of the woods

I've played around with it a bit more now and as a fan of most things apple for a long time, I want to choose these words carefully...

ios 6 is utter ****.

Lacking the Steve factor

[pubjoe]

Insanely ghey.

I'd like to say no as Steve had apparently been quite hands off for a few years, but there's no way he would have passed this. If they had nothing to improve except iphone5 support they could have just chucked out a minor point release.

[Rossyra]

He's been 100% hands off for the last year.

Email seems to DL a bit quicker and thankfully it's not slowed down my 4.

Overall it seems like they removed the stuff i used and made the app store worse. It does seem a bit **** tbh.

I don't use Facebook, but isn't there some FB integration (that's already present on android)?

[pubjoe]

Yeah there's an option to share with facebook, same as on the OS X right click menu now. YES!

I'm liking the App Store design, not happy that there is no you tube for the iPad (I know you can stretch out the iPhone App)

Maps don't seem to work as good as they used to

Overall happy with the update but yet to find any useful feature that improves things

edit: iPhone 5 comes tomorrow woohoooo

[emphatic]

I like that you can attach photos etc now. I was missing that feature, honestly.

[cRacKh0rN]

Bit scared to update after seeing the responses here

[SuperPang]

I did it for the panoramic camera.

'various locations, particularly in Scotland, are obscured by cloud'

Sounds pretty accurate to me

I've yet to download it...

I wouldn't bother until there is a proper google maps app.

Nearly every business near me has been put somewhere else and Solihull (a reasonably big town near me) is completely missing!

I haven't updated my 4s yet, it says it needs 2.5 gig of free space

[crunchywasp]

FFS you can't beat updates that take a backward step

2.5 gig? Lame

The update is 628 MB which is more space than I have spare.

But it says "this update requires at least 2.5 GB of available storage"

[IDCHAPPY]

Hmm, don't think i'll bother updating just yet
