I'm saying that they're pretty small features, and there's other things that are more in need of addressing (compared to an animation in Safari anyway).

I wonder, if in light of Scott forestall leaving, they pulled some functionality in 6.1, and will work on it separately ???

I've noticed that when selecting panorama mode in Camera the UI is different (as if its not meant to be the way it shows up) and when attempting to shoot a panorama shot the App crashes.

negro napoleon · Nov 4, 2012, 10:53 AM

When can we expect this update to be released?

Zachari · Nov 4, 2012, 11:41 AM

I found this, when you try to start a panorama, the camera app crashes.

mrsir2009 · Nov 4, 2012, 11:58 AM

TBH I liked the old lockscreen music controls better - You got the exact same functionality, plus you could see the time more easily and it displayed the date too, which it doesn't seem to on this one.

...Not that I'm upgrading from iOS5

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and not very clear. They might be holding a lot back but what they have shown so far barely qualifies as a .01 update.

When checking for updates in the App Store, clicking the inverted triangle for an update is more accurate.

I have the same thing. But being a beta I'm not concerned about it as bugs are expected. I don't use the panorama camera anyway.

WTF Apple???

Man, things are starting to go from worse to crazy.

It's ironic... extra long display in iphone 5, yet push the time up to the status bar so you can't read it at a glance.

Is it just me, or is that idea insane?

The time only goes to the top when you double press the home button, to access the playout controls. The large clock still exists when you only press the home button once.

Looks like Siri can buy movie tickets via Fandago in US only

Not according to a ton of posters when 4.1 came out: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1012687

Just saw on 9to5mac that you can use Siri to buy movie tickets through fandango. So that's a third improvement.

Edit: aw man looks like Saberon beat me to it.

In the article it says more 3D cities added? Can anyone confirm there are more 3D cities?

This is not new.

Can someone play a song then access the lockscreen controls? I want to see what appears in the space between the controls & the status bar when a song is playing in 6.1.

With all that real estate, why would they make to clock go to the top?

They probably want the whole album art visible without the controls covering it.

But still, it is pretty strange.
