Apple Releases iOS 6 with New Maps App, Facebook Integration, Siri Improvements, and More

[saccento]

nothing in NJ yet.

I've had it for 10 minutes now.. almost finished "preparing update"

 

[chrisbru]

Not available OTA for me yet, but plugged in and downloading via iTunes works.

 

[Madhawk]

Nothing yet....

 

[HangmanSwingset]

Available just now, close to Seattle! Downloading...

After reading this, I clicked "Check for Update", and it was there!
...Then it failed...
Clicking it again gave me "(5.1.1) is the current version."

Again, in Spokane.

"The operating system arrives as the golden master build 10A403 for existing devices, and Apple has also posted a special 10A405 build for the iPhone 5 and a 10A406 build for the upcoming fifth-generation iPod touch."

So i saw that iOS 6 is available, i went to click on "Download and Upgrade" and then it went away.

Now when i click on Check For Updates, it says 5.1.1 is the latest..

-edit-
As of 2 mins ago, it has started working. But holy hell nearly 1GB big!

italy, 9 minutes remaining till 100%

Downloading now in UK

 

[Peter Harrison]

Nothing in UK, at least for the new iPad, but I would assume it released on all devices in a region at the same time.

 

[echo.park]

Pff... iOS 6.

No OSX 10.8.2 today?

 

[Tango45]

"iOS 5.1.1 - Your software is up to date."

You Lie!!!

 

[2IS]

It will not delete cos it's an update, not restore.

I think you missed my point... In 2 days I'll have an iPhone 5

Btw, just showed up on my iPhone. Nothing yet on iPad.

 

[forty2j]

12:43 (EST)? Damn. Didn't show up on mine until 12:57.

 

[MrT8064]

5 Hours remaining, rural broadband FTW!

 

[Macclone]

Any word if this release is the same as the GM?

No, but I am sure you will keep asking.

 

[WeegieMac]

not for me.

 

[Ungibbed]

Download requirements for both my iPad and iPhone were vastly different.

Under 700MB for my iPad 2 but for my iPhone 4s it wanted 2.5GB of space.

Looks like my iPhone is getting the full clean install while my iPad gets the Delta update.

Both are already in action so I'm using my BlackBerry PlayBook to use the forums.

it's not, my iPhone 4S just finished updating whereas my mum's iPad doesnt even see an OTA update yet

 

[lupin.terzo]

ETA: less than one minute remaining

 

[foulmouthedleon]

In D.C. - iPad 3 is downloading, iPhone 4s is not. Odd.

 

[splashnader]

It could take hours for the update to propagate to all devices. I think we all just need to be patient and pass the time by clicking refresh on our UPS tracking page.

 

[dfinecy]

Omaha, NE - still don't see the update yet. Says 5.1.1 is latest version. Checked via iTunes and directly on iPad. Will restart iPad and see if it works or try again after lunch.

+1 for also being from Omaha

 

[buckers]

i hope it doesn't lag on my iphone 4...

I've been running iOS 6 Beta on mine, and it's been fine.
