It would be interesting to see a graph showing the traffic on macrumors.com after the announcement to launch day.
It's got to be high too.

What causes that little spike at 5am?
I've been using a data tracking app for the last couple months. One thing I've been surprised by is how all through the night my iPhone is constantly using not only WiFi but also cellular data. And there are highs and lows. Here was last night (central time). I've removed the apps (mail, pulse news, and skype all ping all night long) to leave you with iOS related things.

Sure enough there seems to be a spike in "OS Services" at 4am (5am eastern). I'm guessing thats a time apple picked to push out more stuff. Probably because they figure most everyone will be sleeping (2am-5am across the US)
Can you please let me know the data tracking app that you are using? Keep going over my data plan and I want to know where I am using so much data. Thanks for your help!
it's a shame that the 7 fold increase of people were disappointed with apple maps too....
I had my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S updated within 15 minutes of iOS6 going life.
It was easy, and fast. No drama...All the app updates were fast too.
No waiting 6 months to a year or never for fruitcake butter flavor pie.
I use "My data manager" and it is absolutely fantastic! Best of all, I got it for 100% free!
It has 6 "pages" of information. Each comparing you data in all kinds of different ways like locations, time, app, wifi, cellular, all in any user determined period of time. Honestly It breaks out every possible way to show usage. The only negative is it DOES require location services in the background (this allows it to track data consumption by app) so it drains battery relatively quickly. Although, I've been using this for a couple months and most days I don't get close to my battery dying. But there are still a good number of days (25%?) that I need to either charge a bit, or make a conscious effort to reduce iPhone use.
Now here's the bad news (which I probably should have led with). I've tried searching for the app, and now I can't find it on the app store... I don't know what happened. The app is by mobidia.
