Apple Maps:

visually nice on the eyes, not entirely accurate like Google maps, satellite views need tons of work, flyover is a stupid/worthless feature, turn-by-turn is very nice

Passbook:

stupid. crap. you have to download the company's app in order to have it issue you a ticket in passbook. apple screwed up the implementation of this. i don't have the energy to commit to how bad this app is. it's just more junk on my phone i can't delete (stocks, weather, news stand, game center).

Clock:

applies to iPad, but it's beautiful. but...umm...why are all the apps in iOS for iPad/iPhone the same EXCEPT for the clock? what idiot decided this at apple? scrap the iPhone clock and use the iPad clock for both.

Visual format (borders, etc):

crap. black borders in the stores? baby blues all over? white phone dial pad? geez, let's get someone better at color pallette design to fix this

App Store:

crap on iphone. great on ipad.

Mail:

refresh is better; VIP is nice; flags are easy to label; good update

The other goods:

Safari full screen in landscape, Safari cloud sharing of tabs, Do not disturb feature, divert incoming calls by sending a text, merging iMessage number/email with both iPhone/iPad, your mom, yelp integration in maps, facebook/twitter integration throughout, photostream sharing, camera, youtube removed.

The other bads:

battery life has been running down faster, music app looks really drab/cold, video app received no refresh.
