Some of these things were available via jailbreak before Android was released. Stop crediting Android with them. And the fact that they credit Android with being the first with turn by turn directions is completely laughable.
Im glad Apple copies Android or WP7 or whatever because I think they make those features more stable and better.
Thats the difference between ios and Android. That... and fragmentation.
Do I want these features with touchwiz or sense skin on Android or do I want them on ios which is always a better implementation?

Passbook.. My body is ready.. All it needs is wave to pay or some sort of epay feature at any store
as i was looking at apple.com
So I dont know if someone mentioned this... When you go to look at apple.com and iOS 6 page, there are many pics. On some of those pics you can clearly see different iPhone, different from my 4, or 4s. Is it just me or they leaked images of the new iPhone?
As you can see on the pic, there is camera the normal "speakerphone" and one extra on top?
Am I right? Or maybe I am imagining things?

I hear what you're saying, but many of us expect more from Apple when it comes to innovation. Not one thing today about iOS6 made me say "WOW! Apple has done it again."
Lose/lose for Apple. People complain that Apple doesn't have certain things built in natively that are jailbreak tweaks. Then they do add them in and those people complain that they added tweaks that were already available when jail breaking. Anyone else see how this doesn't make sense?
Yes, makes sense to me. Your event should tout features that are new to the market, a first. I think they did fine with the new MacBook Pro, that's what I expect from an event of this magnitude. When your event highlights features that have been around on other devices for more than a year, don't even bother bringing them up. Just list them on your website at this rate.
It's really just these boards. This is the minority, and the majority will continue to buy their products regardless. If/when the day comes that the majority doesn't do that, then something or someone else will be the new greatest thing on the block.
For me it's a matter of new functionality, and some new apps. As long as you're happy, and enjoy it, F' the rest of them.

It's just your imagination. I think the top "hole" is just for the proximity sensor. That's how the 4S looks like anyway.

Imagining things. That's how the iPhone 4s looks like.

Agreed. I think Apple implements their "copied" ideas better than any other company does. I think that's why a percentage of people chose Apple devices over Android/WMO. What people seem to ignore is a company releasing a product that functions terribly doesn't mean that another company hasn't been trying to perfect it before that. Look at MMS with 3.0. The usual people complained and now how many people with iPhones can remember a time when you couldn't natively send MMS with an iPhone?
My bad. I was looking at the black iPhone 4S and it doesnt have this proximity sensor, or at least on their website. Thanks for clearing that up.
Good post!
Good post! I couldn't agree more. Lots of whiny Apple fan boys on here. I mean I like Apple, but that doesn't make me blind towards other products and I also don't have to like every Apple product.
For example, I have no interest in more facebook integration and nobody I know has any interest in it either. It is already too much!
Siri improvements? Let's be honest. Siri is a 5 minute joke for most people and otherwise only geeks are using it... The biggest improvement would be to remove it!
I am also not impressed with the new map software from Apple. Quite frankly Google is like miles ahead in that area and I think it is a bad move to start something new in an area where you can't compete.

I love my iPhone because of the apps and how stable they run. I have no argument about Apple copying a feature and making it better. I just have an issue when that is the meat of your event for iOS6. Honestly, VIP and Do Not Disturb made it to the highlight real? Asking who is taller, Lebron or Kobe?
This is what Apple is proud of?
Who cares!! I saw a commercial this morning that had a little green droid playing with an iPhone. At least I thought it was an iPhone - looked just like one - and I was wondering what was going on, why is the little droid guy playing with an iPhone? Turned out that the phone was a Samsung phone, unsure which one but aren't they all basically the same. I can now understand all of the accusations that Samsung copied Apple's design. Bottom line is that they all copy each other's good ideas. It's time to get over it.
Re: Facebook
The billion dollar question is: will Apple restrict, or force Facebook to get permission, of private information on the phone?
As we saw with Path, just blindly trusting developers, particularly advertising-based apps, to follow the rules is foolish. By the time they get caught, your information is gone.
I, for one, think it would be nuts to give Facebook access to your Mac and iPhone at an OS level. How long did it take us to see Google's "Don't be Evil" was just an opiate.
I hope Apple is smart about this.

Who in turn stole it from newton OS via palm
Most of this stuff is only stollen from android if you only consider the last 5 years.
I have 2 questions about this update.
One, do I have to have Facebook integration, or can I just not bother with it?
Two, will Siri work on iPads which only have WiFi or is cellular data a pre-requisite?

"Stolen" or not. The important point is that Android got all these features first. It just shows how far behind Android iOS really is.
Hope apple pull their head out their arse and give us guys in Europe all the features the US get. The fact that we will haven't got the old features is a piss take
