Making phone calls and writing messages from the lock screen is highly insecure. So is enabling the airplane mode, which disables Find My iPhone along with it.
The 'music widget' might look cool, but doesn't offer any new functionality, or shorter paths to find what you're looking for, as tapping the icon in iOS 6 brings you to the cover art with the same buttons to control the playback, and the home button brings you back as well. The same goes for the calendar, it is too small to be usable and doesn't offer any improvements in usability.
'Quick settings' are cluttered and ugly, and don't really comply with the Apple paradigm of separating the hardware functions from the software. Also, you have hardware volume buttons, so what do you need a slider in a separate app for? The same goes for a software lock button.
Downloads in Safari is something that needs an overhaul, and it needs a rework on the Mac along with it. Placing all downloads in one folder gets cluttered up pretty fast and it's hard to navigate, it should at least have subfolders for different file types, with the files magically sorting themselves into the folders after the download has finished.
The 'shelf' on iOS isn't really gonna work, and it appears by now that the guy tries to fit everything into drawers, whether that's a good idea or not. You'd need a section in Safari or a completely stand-alone app to keep downloads organized.
The way downloads on iOS work is that the App that is responsible for viewing/editing the file you're downloading gets it placed in it's directory so that you can open it, with an option in most apps to open a copy of the file in another app that it capable of handling the file type. Putting it in a drawer on the other hand would require the file to be copied every time you open it, and back after you're done. You get concurrency problems when you open one file on two apps at the same time, and hence the drawer is flawed in design.
But unless there is a 'update Apps automatically' switch, the 'App Store updates in a drawer' is nice and fits the purpose, and with some refinements, so is Mission Control.
