iOS 6 Megathread - All iOS 6 discussion goes here

Random alarm went off tonight at 9.38pm. Not set in my list of alarms. Odd.

Other than that, all seems good. Tidy, clean look to all apps now, although music player is very bright!!

I just noticed the new "auto reply to caller with a text" feature and that is very handy. It's something I'm sure I had in an old Sony Ericsson 6 years ago though!

have they got rid of the feature to hide apps that you have deleted off your iphone

Sorry but if you didn't know that

Stock You Tube app was going

and

Google's new You Tube App has been top of free downloads in App store for last week

then I don't see how you can say that iOS 6 is underwhelming as I don't think you have checked any of the new features.

A popular opinion in here I'm sure. Updated to ios6 last night and have absolutely no complaints. I wasn't expecting much but got a lot more than I assumed would be with the update.

It took a while to download but when I had it all set up it seems like my phone is running smoother and the integration of facebook is handy as well.

When the google maps app is put on the app store it'll be a welcome development but everything else seems to be well worth the wait.

Ulster Bank was working last night for me after I updated. Not connecting today at all.

To be fair, the youtube app was ****e :pac:

Package

Yeah YouTube was ****e. But the problem is now ya can't listen to YouTube , only watch it?

Before I used to play a video , lock the screen. Double tap the home button, and press play. To save battery. Now when ya do the it just plays your music :-(

Does Anyone know a good YouTube app for the iPad? There's one called youpad which you have to pay for, I'm a bit ragin over YouTube going.

Edit: i Found a way to put YouTube in amongst the apps.. You go to the website and click the share button beside the address bar!

Siri seriously needs looking at... Instead of saying something is close to me, like a restaurant etc.. It says 'in a while you'? Very strange, bad broken English!. And it hasn't a clue what's close to me.. I asked where the nearest Starbucks is, it's Liffey valley, and it just threw out a few of the Dublin city ones, and please hurry up google maps!

Running iOS 6 now on my iPhone 4 and new iPad (3rd generation).

So far I'm happy overall. Few problems. Wifi on my iPhone 4 is dreadful. Before it was stronger than my iPad but now the 4's signal is really bad. Auto brightness as said. Passbook isn't supported for anything yet. Maps on the iPhone 4 is terrible. But the iPad Maps are much better.

Overall no problems. All apps running smoothly. Been updating them all regularly though. Whole update process was flawless. Phone is running smoother and faster now. A good update overall

Little tip on the Maps from Google. They've now said its already been submitted to the App Store. Just up to Apple to approve it now. So we could have it any day.

App queuing and not having to put your password in for updating apps is great!

My sister in law just upgraded her 4S.

She has the new @me email from Apple but in iCloud email is turned off and when she turned it on its asking her to create a new @iCloud email address.

Her @me email is working fine but obviously it's not being backed up to her iCloud.

How can this be fixed?

The maps.

OH MY F*CKING GOD THEY SUCK.

Absolutely jaysus sickened by that.

On the upside I got siri on my ipad finally.

There's an official YouTube app.

Maps - this is an embarrassment for Apple, one I feel should impact the share price (prob won't) to wake them up

Overall, everything runs a little bit slicker on my 4

Begs the question now for me - why bother with the 5? An extra row of icons? Couple more megapixel in a camera I don't really use? Siri?!

Think i'll hold of for the 5s

Two quick questions is this worth getting if you only have an iPhone4, I've noticed a lot of the updates state iPhone 4S & iPhone 5 only.

Any does anyone have any idea when/if google will release a google maps app?

Passenger

Not a major improvement but it does seem to run a little smoother. As mentioned above, it kinda renders updating to a iPhone 5 a little more redundant just for a slightly longer screen.

I tried putting in swords pavillions into maps, came up with somewhere in America. Tried putting the word Dublin on the end, no results found

How is it speed wise? My 3GS seems to be so slow these days. Wondering does iOS6 make it worse.

Feels good. I normally use a 4S but its back with Apple for repair (on/off button stopped working) and I havent struggled too much with the step back to the 3GS. It sluggish in spots (rapid changing between screen and apps) but over all I think its pretty good.
