Impressive list of new features.

I love this "new feature" in IOS 6

"It’s even easier to add photos and videos to email messages"

Funny, 8 months ago I was complaining that it didnt have this feature, but the response from others was, why would you ever need to be able to attach pictures to messages? You just go to your photo and select send.

[Octane (Humayun)]

I'll send them an email and ask them to remove the feature.

You could always copy and paste pictures into emails. But, since iOS 5 (I think) they introduced the share button in the photos app (and, elsewhere) to be able to easily send pictures (or, whatever) via email or MMS.

While your at it, can you ask them to stop copying features from Android ?

Pretty good early impressions, although the Apple maps is rather ... underdeveloped compared to what we had.

And strangely my iPhone 4S keeps losing Wifi connectivity and dropping back to 3G.

Hahaha
I love the 'who's copying who?' arguments in the smartphone world.

Well I'll let you guys be the Guinea Pigs, after Mountain Lion I'm in no hurry to upgrade any OS on my Apple products.

Treble the time to boot much the same for shut down, I'm seriously considering going back to Lion.

Methinks upgrading on the day iOS6 was released is taking one's life in one's hands. I'll give it a few weeks, or maybe wait for the inevitable .0.1 or .1 patch level.

Upgraded all four iOS devices at home. Perfect. You fellas worry too much. You make is sound as though iOS upgrades always fail. What bollocks.

Agreed, everything seems to work well. Safari runs much faster on my iPad, and my iPhone 4S seems much kinder on the battery since the update.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Very happy.

I'm a Mac lover for sure, but the iPad (first generation) I have won't play with IOS6, and my iPhone 4 doesn't seem any different with it either. Most features are designed for the later/latest models by the look of it.

another hour my shift will finish and I'll be scooting home to mygrade my devices .

Troy cool cartoon copied and shared around the office. Cheers

Love my Apples but I wish Amiga/Commodore made a comeback they were cool machines!

Upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad 3. Everything went/is fine. The maps app seems to me to run very smoothly but does have less details. The settings screen seems to take slightly longer to come up. There are some great locking features I love for the kids. Mixed success with Siri so far. Worth upgrading as far as I can see.

It also now has turn-by-turn navigation - alleviating the need to buy Navigon, Tom Tom or other app. With Siri it now has voice control, and 3D rendering. I hit the home button yesterday arvo and told Siri: "Take me to Cairns".

Siri: "One moment.... "

Pop - map to Cairns comes up from my present location.

Map Girl: "Take the next turn left at...."

Pretty cool in my book
