iOS 6 All the Little Things

Your iPhone 5 may have a bug then. I'm pretty sure that the iPhone is NOT meant to do this - I know my iPhone 5 certainly does not do this.
The iPhone 5 does it with headphones in when you have the volume bars at yellow or higher. All you with iPhone 5's that claim theirs don't do it, try it now and you'll see.
"... volume bars at yellow or higher." Really? I've had two iPhones, 4s and now 5, with iOS versions 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1.1, 6.0, and now 6.0.1, plus I have two iPads both on 6.1. I have never seen any hint of "yellow or higher" on any of those devices, with or without headphones, whether Apple ear pods or buds, or Bose. There might be a setting that sets the volume indicator to something other than a slider, but I have not seen it.
It's iphone 5 only, not 4 or 4S. It's with headphones in, they have added 'high volume'. You obviously haven't used the 5 much, Its there every time you have headphones in on a 5 and go over a certain level. It's no setting you turn on, it's there by default. See attached.
I have an iPhone 5 and it doesn't change colors for me.

Yea you're right - my iPhone 5 certainly DOES do this. The volume buttons (on the headphones) do turn the screen on, even when the phone is locked and in standby mode!
Never would have known this as I do admit - I very rarely use the headphones!
Ah this I did not know. Though it doesn't do it on the 4S my dad has or the 4 my mum has, all UK bought.
Well, setting here in snowy Minnesota, USA, none of my iOS devices have that kind of volume indicator.
Well Minnesota is not in the EU is it

It's set to off by default so that doesn't cover what we're talking about in regards to stopping the screen lighting up. If you turn that on, it won't let the volume go into the yellow coloured blocks.

Well now we know, this shi*ty feature is Europe-only. I get that EU have their regulations regarding volume, but what I don't get is why Apple had to make the screen turn on whenever you reach the yellow bars or higher.
I hope they fix this because it's actually really annoying.

You can type your question/command to Siri if you want. Dunno if this was posted before but I was messing around and found it out a few hours ago.
You have to ask a question and while it's thinking, double tap on the bubble that has your input.

I doubt this is an iOS 6 thing or just an iPhone thing, but I noticed that you can pinch-to-zoom a lot further into a picture when its in the iMessage app than it is in the Photos app. Seems a little assbackwards if you ask me.
I've always hated the ridiculous zoom limit on photos.

Interesting. For me, it doesn't work when two or more videos are selected. Weird.
