I'm still on iOS 5.1.1 because of all the issues I've heard with iOS 6 on iPod touch 4th generation. Is iOS 6.1.2 more stable?
Some issues:
-Booting up takes longer
-Opening stock apps such as settings or camera take long
-Lower FPS on apps mainly games.
-Worse battery life
-App Store crashing when trying to search.
-Wifi issues
-Crashes to Safari? I know 4g only has 256MB RAM but 6.0 (and even 5.1.1) made Safari crash far more often which is annoying (as this also means all background apps have to reload). Although on 5.1 Safari never crashed on me.
Also I like iOS 5.1.1 over iOS 6 because:
-New App Store/iTunes layout which I hate
-Removal of Youtube app, I liked this app since it was simple with no adds
-New music layout which I hate because everything is white
-Apple Maps, enough said about that
If interested in the free ram usage on my iPod touch 4g:
iOS 6.0: 80mb
iOS 5.1.1: 140mb
IOS 4.3.2: 137 mb
(Took along time to downgrade and restore back up to iOS 6)
I got the average ram after a respring and after clearing the memory 3 times but iOS 6 couldn't free the memory so average couldn't get a little boost like other iOS versions. I got the free ram numbers from sbsettings and sbsettings is not fully compatible with iOS 6 so that might of been a factor.
I defiantly noticed the lack of ram in apps. It's the first iOS version where stock apps crashed on me. Settings and the app store crashed 5 minutes in. (I always restore when I upgrade so that is not the problem)
I hope I gave you some insight what is going on with iOS 6.
I might update you guys later with better results when sbsettings is compatible with iOS 6.
