Will be updating on Day 1 unless the features mainly consist of Siri upgrades and Maps. I can live without that. But if there are major upgrades to apps/functionality (which I'm assuming there will be) then I will 100% be upgrading the day of the keynote. Looking forward to it!

Do you plan on updating to iOS 6 right away?

Nah, I typically wait to see what the general feedback is before updating. I'm not much of an early adopter with things.
Not updating has no negative consequences whatsoever.
If one is happy with the feature set of the OS the phone came equipped with, it's not going to self destruct for no reason.
My wife likes her iPhone just as it is. She'd rather spend her time shopping rather than acclimating to a change in the way her phone works with the latest upgrade. Year after year, she is very satisfied therefore I'm not about to change anything.
Right there with you. I'm there with everyone else bogging down the servers trying to get the update the second it comes out!
Me too!
Yup. The pain of the servers failing over everyone trying to activate their phones just shows how dedicated you are
I'll probably wait a few days before I do.... check on here first to see if there's any major problems.
When I updated to 5.1.1 from 5.1.0, my iPhone broke and I had to return it under warranty. I'll leave it a while before upgrading to a new OS, particularly with a major upgrade like iOS 5 to 6.
I suppose you don't care about privacy fixes, bug fixes, or security exploits? I hope your wife isn't shopping on her iPhone; older iOS versions contain several security exploits.
Her use in not that of a typical smartphone enthusiast. Only using a small fraction of it's capabilities, she prefers calling her friends, and texting. Rarely does she use it to access the web. That's something she does at work or at home. In fact the only reason she has an iPhone is because I gave her one.
We all have different interests & priorities, it's just a phone to her
I agree but I always end up upgrading immediately because these major updates are so damn appealing. I'm certain Apple will announce something in iOS 6 that I will be craving for months before the update becomes available to me. So when it does arrive, I'll be among the first trying to download and get it loaded onto my device.
Same thing here.
