The map data is caches but not locally stored in it's entirety. Without data you'd be looking at a blank grid.
I don't get that either. Is there an explanation for the bar to be changing colours?
The GM version has been out for a while now. It's pretty much the version that ships with new phones.
I was only that way with the iphone as it was my sole game machine. but then I finally go t a ipad and it is not. but I was so underwhelmed with the new iphone it saved me an upgrade and really dissapointed Maps will no longer worth for the bus so it is pretty much a bust for me there are no new features with ios6 it is pretty much a waste of the time it took to download it.
Now we see what lack of real competition does.
I don't think it's necessarily lack of real competition, as there is a whole heap of clever marketing out there.
Apple have only ever compared the 5 to the 4S, not the handsets which the 5 actually competes with. You know, the ones you might consider otherwise buying if you weren't so distracted by the branding.
Phrases such as 'twice as fast' get banded around quite a lot, which are completely nondescript if you're not already an iPhone owner, when a phrase such as 'twice as fast as a model we now deem to be obsolete, but not quite as powerful in geekbench testing as a 4 month old Samsung device' might have been more informative, and factually correct.
There's competition out there, with the two main contenders in my eyes being the Galaxy S3 or the soon to be released Lumia 920. The S3 should be getting the latest OS update soon including project butter, which will be a big boon to an already formidable handset.
People need to come to the realization that the new iPhone is simply a refresh, not an overhaul.
We have become accustomed to be blown away every 2 years and obviously that didnt happen this year.
However, there have been a lot of improvements with the hardware and software. I think all of us agree at least that we expected more whether it was the hardware design or ios6.
Truth is you don't have to buy the new iPhone and you don't have to download ios6.
I for one accept this is simply a refreshed phone and refreshed OS and will use it knowing that.

See you later, remember to turn off the light on your way out

Apparently on the keynote they stated that now the app developers can choose the bar colours to match the look and feel of the running application, sometimes it fells weird i must agree.

So the developer may be the one to "control" the bar colour according to what they like. That might feel weird...
Because one customer is totally going to kill their profit margin. I'm sure someone at Apple is drowning their sorrows in whiskey as we speak.
One customer is very unlikely to impact their profit margin much. In fact it won't impact it at all, which you would be fully aware of if you knew what a profit margin was.
But I digress. You've made the asinine and sadly go-to point of many on this forum, which is to say 'screw you, the company I like is making lots of money, from people like me, so they're right and unless you're going to join the circle-jerk, your opinion is worthless'
But there are a lot of people who don't understand why they should buy an iPhone 5, or what they gain out of upgrading iOS6, and apathy towards a product, especially one commanding the sort of premium that iPhone does will impact on Apple. Whether that's now, or maybe the next time the sheep that just bought a new iPhone on the upgrade cycle feel like they got their fingers burned, it may well happen.
And boohoo for them. Not only does apple not give a ****, nor do the carriers. What did the OP want us to do? Bake a cake and beg him/her to stay loyal to Apple. Just like OP had the right to bitch and moan about how they are breaking up with Apple, everyone on this forum has the right to respond to pointless (PUBLIC) temper tantrums.
