iOS 6 GM Changes?

[QuarterSwede]

I didn't look in any previous betas but if you go to
settings->general->about->advertising there is a limit ad tracking option

That's new. Here is what it actually does.

Choose to have no icons on springboard page !

I've just noticed you can now have an empty first page of apps on springboard.

Before you had to have at least one app showing else it would delete that page!

Neat! Looks good on the iPad but would be pointless doing it on the iPhone due it the screen size.

Not really. If you have a wallpaper that you want to see without a bunch of icons covering it up, like a picture of a loved one, then leaving page 1 blank is very useful, as that's what I am doing on my iPhone right now. However, this feature has been there since iOS 5, probably before that. Only page 1 can be blank, the other pages have to have apps on them to exist.

It feels a little bit slower on my iPad 3, and safari crashes very often, when i have a lot of open tabs (ram limit?)

Anyone notice the new way to refresh mail? Pretty neat!

Wonder if they are getting ready for widgets or something? Why would you not want anything on the first page?

Start flame war in 3....2.....

So I know the iOS 6 GM came out today. I seen in the past that people start threads discussing all the updates from the previous beta version of iOS 6. I haven't yet found a thread with a changelog on it. So I decided I would start one here. Please leave your reply if you notice anything new from iOS 6 beta 4 to the GM. The one main thing I have found so far is that they have added a few new wallpapers!

Anything else that I can confirm I will add back up to the top of the thread.

Thanks!

Changes:

- Wifi+Cellular Removed from settings
- A few new wallpaper added since beta 4
- Panorama mode added to the iPhone 4S in camera app
- Many cities now supported in 3D on maps application
- Option added to "About" to limit ad tracking
- You can now have the first page of the springboard completely empty (All iOS Devices)

Thanks for this. Got a sweet wallpaper I don't want covered up.

On my iPhone 4, auto brightness works just fine. Just my iPad 3 auto brightness hasn't worked at all, since beta 1.

Not sure what you guys are talking about with blank pages. I've always left my first page blank for as long as I can remember way before iOS 6.

Audiobooks are back in music app!

Audiobook have reappeared in the music app. In the last beta, they could only be accessed from Spotlight.

Not sure if this was in previous builds, but tap and holding on links in UIWebView will bring up the option to add to reading list.
