iOS 6 All the Little Things

I don't think anyone has mentioned this one yet.
In the Music app, when you back out of a Now Playing song with the arrow in the upper-left hand corner, the Songs list now displays the song you're listening to.
In previous iterations, it would always default to the very top of your song list, songs beginning with letter A, now it will bounce around to whatever letter and song is currently playing.

No I don't think that's an iOS 6 thing. That is what normally happens with me, and I'm on iOS 5

Stocks app on iOS 5 sometimes includes Live Quote instead of the delayed 20 minutes quotes. But you're right about the second pic... it is from iOS 5 (no volume info in portrait mode)
On thr new iPad when I'm switching between tabs in Safari the pages almost always refresh, no matter how many tabs I have open. Is this something that will be corrected with iOS 6? I thought going from iPad 2 to the new iPad would solve it but it didn't. 
Yes it can, most people are unaware of that rule though. Siri was actually correct in that phrase.
THat's cool. Back in the day we used to have full screen "screenshot gallery" but they got rid of it at some point and now it's back!
I wish we got that clock icon on the iPhone too!

Also, Does anyone think we will get Photo Booth on the iPhone?
Apart from the fact they are both silver, I don't see any other similarities.
So do I!
The only thing that's not the same is that it says 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
And the black border, the clock hands, the lack of seconds hand
In fact, the only think that they have in common is that they are clocks in a grey rounded square.
Just noticed.
Apple *removed* the 3G/EDGE switch (both on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s)
Hopefully it will find its way back, especially in rural countryside its easier to switch to Edge right away (saves battery and gets better reception)
I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be coming back. They already tried to ax it with 5.0 on the 4S but brought it back with 5.1 because people complained.
BUT there is a technical reason behind it: with 4G LTE becoming more prevalent now and soon to be ubiquitous, the carriers (at least those in the U.S.) have openly announced they are going to be shutting down their EDGE network in the near future to repurpose the spectrum/frequencies it runs on to be used for LTE/3G to accommodate for the greater demand of data services. This could very well happen before iOS 7. If they don't remove it now, they'd have to with 6.1 or something. If you don't have an EDGE network to connect to, turning off 3G would be you would have NO connection whatsoever.
When EDGE gets turned off, you shouldn't have any need to flip the toggle as the idea is that the EDGE network you would have been trying to connect to would then be 3G/LTE anyway. Again, that's just the idea, though. We'll have to see if it works that way in practice.
But get used to it. The 3G toggle likely ain't coming back. Now the LTE iPhone may have an LTE toggle to replace it, though...
I think it will happen sooner for AT&T. I have seen a dramatic increase in areas that less than a year ago still only had EDGE and now are 3G. In fact I can barely find an EDGE-only area anymore--even in the middle of the desert which recently had just voice.
Plus, AT&T started informing 2G users this March that the devices will be incompatible with its network in the near future.
That said Apple could very much make this a carrier decision, as they have done in the past. So if AT&T doesn't need it, they can turn it off. Other carriers can leave it available.

Can anyone check if Apple Maps has updated its map of Africa yet? In the presentation, they had the map of the world, but it had one huge glaring error: it didn't count South Sudan as being separate from Sudan, even after they are now recognized as an independent country.
Small thing, I know, but it would really help to know how accurate/updated Apple Maps are, compared to the gold standard (Gmaps).

I tried once with Opera browser for ipad 17 tabs. And all were available without refreshing. And this was on Ipad 1 !
Or another time I tried a single tab with a very long page full of pictures, again the whole page was loaded in memory without having to wait to load in the middle of the page. Also I remember back and forward was instant like browsing pictures.

That's the problem with 3's network it's only 3G
Talk time on 3G is a lot less than on 2G so that saves battery, also when there's no 3G signal or say only 1 bar, you can switch to 2G usually.
