I lost my iPhone 18 months ago, and waited till the new one, now I'm excited for it, and for iOS6.

I know there are a lot of haters, but for me, Apple does what I want it to.

Apple also has updates for Mountain Lion 10.8.2 today
and for iPhoto to version 9.4



Glad that someone finally gave SIRI more responsibility.

OTA worked fine! :wink:

edited to add that iTunes also had a recent update, but over the air works fine for iOS 6 and gives the 4S and iPads a lot of iPhone 5 features.

Well .... I don't know about all of that but I upgraded this afternoon, mostly because it's the first thing they axe you if you ever have a problem with your device.

HaHa, it's not trying to be a Samsung S III, because the S III lags too much.
The iPhone is on another level. But if price was the ONLY difference between the 2 phones, I would have a hard time not choosing the S III.

Yeah the update does look pretty much the same as before, BUT under the hood there are some pretty cool changes like my "favourite" and very usefull - DO NOT DISTURB MODE and VIP EMAIL. Oh and also PANORAMA photos are incredibly easy to do now too.
