I like Apple, but I have to say I'm really underwhelmed by iOS 6 update. I wasn't
At the risk of being vote down into an oblivion I have to say that Apple are getting too stale, too comfortable and too complacent.
iOS 6 feels more like iOS 5.5 at best. With iOS 5 they had an excuse they were working on iCloud, iMessage, big projects and they still delivered a very decent update. This time they had all the time to really make some changes and they didn't do much at all.
New Maps? Nice but here's the thing, only 4S and iPad 2012 users get navigation and 3D maps, the rest get only the maps, plus we all lose Google Streetview, and Google's transit, which are very handy features. So 3GS and 4 users actually get less than they have now.
Additionally 3D maps are limited to certain cities, and the navigation itself isn't very impressive, can it quickly re-route you if you miss a turn? Can you use it offline?
And I don't really like how Apple's tiles look, Google's look better IMO.
It still remains to be seen how their POI database turns out.
Passbook - Again, there are many keyring apps in the Appstore, plus the success of Passbook depends on the adoption of it by companies, which takes years.
Facebook? - Absolutely useless to me.
All the other changes are welcome but there are very few of them and there are no surprises.
Finally the UI, it's a mess now! It seems they replaced black menus with silver ones(Music) and silver ones with black ones(Camera), what was the point of that? Some menus are glossy, some are matte, they've made the UI very inconsistent, it feels like they were playing around with ideas and abandoned it in the middle and released it as is, unfinished, the new dial pad looks bad. I'll say though, that I like the new sound and seek levers, they do look better than the old ones.
Here's some things I wanted:
Why isn't iOS Safari getting a unified address bar like in Lion?
Why isn't the Private switch still not integrated into Safari itself?
Why hasn't the YouTube app been updated? It's useless.
What about SBSettings and opening up Notification Center for third party widgets?
How about Live icons?
Why not integrate Spotlight search into the Notification Center?
Prevent shut down when the phone is locked?
Can you drop more than one pin on the map and route between them now?
Pull down to refresh in the Mail app? Great! What about Safari?
More camera settings? If you look at Android phones, their cameras have TONS of options and settings, iOS' is still very basic.
As somebody here said, it seems like Apple is turning iOS into a platform to sell you things, teaming up with random corporations and offering you services to buy and in return to sell you to those companies, instead of thinking about the users and their needs.
