Loving that I can attach pictures inside the email app now and bonus for being able to attach pictures from inside this text box. All other improvements are welcomed as well.

A few things I've noticed on the negative side is wifi is spotty or not consistent when browsing in safari. Websites seem to take longer to load sometimes. I don't like the move away from google now because google maps IMO is a little better than apples maps, also videos linked to YouTube played at a higher resolution.

Anyone else?
 
Wifi always seems to have been an on/off problem with every apple device ever, I dunno, I personally haven't had any problems with it.
 
My Pros:

Shared photo stream option
Ability to upload pics in safari
Siri and ability to launch apps
VIP mail box
Ease of photos/video insertion in mail
Can finally tell time since last charge

My Cons:

No YouTube (I'm sure Google will get one out for us in App Store)
New tabs in safari bring cursor to address field instead of search.
 
Likes:

-Amazing increase in Safari speed and responsiveness
-App store links from Safari now work consistently
-Full screen screen shots in the app store (iPad only)
-Install apps without leaving app store
-Mail push notifications now work very reliably, I can finally migrate from Gmail

Dislikes:

-The new app store
-Purchased tab in the app store has not worked for me yet. Not one app loads or it's so slow I haven't had the patience to wait (5 minutes has been my limit so far).
-Maps seems to load slowly even on Wifi

That's my immediate impressions, I'm sure there's plenty more to like and dislike.
 
To be honest, there isnt much of anything in iOS6 that is catching my attention at all.

And while in the past that would indicate that the OS was good enough already and nothing no major changes had to be done, this time around the thing I dislike the most is that Apple seems to be putting more effort into hurting Google than addressing existing issues or doing something incredible for its users.
 
I don't see a reason to even get a iphone 5, IOS6 is a huge disapoitment. I can save my money and go and get a samsung s3 for cheaper and have the same features.

and plus because im still on OSX 10.6 I still have sync with google that works properly.
 
Like: do not disturb option
Facebook integration
Redesigned app/iTunes

Don't like:

Apple maps is a disaster and useless, too bad it's a core app.
 
I do miss YouTube not a huge deal when you can browse it on safari however I don't care if I'm in the minority but YouTube on safari sucks. The app was so much quicker and easier to access a clip on the fly.

Siri like a typical woman is only accurate 50% of the time, and maps is maps

But so far I like it haha
