What is Apple doing? iOS 6 and ML?

Hmmmm. That's kind of disappointing. One of the problems with Waze is the lack of users. I live in a metro area of about a million people and there often isn't enough users to give an accurate depiction of what is going on. Apple/Waze need to figure out how to boost the use of their app so the data that is spit out on Apple Maps is actually useful for those of us who don't live in very large, "wired" metros (New York, San Francisco...)
Apparently the recent leaks of the next iPhone are looking more and more legit. If that's the case then this will be another underwhelming upgrade.
two toned back, and a longer screen? really? After all these years that's all they could come up with? What happened to the innovative company that redefined the phone?

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others won't or that there aren't innovations. To be honest I like the HW roughly were it is (though would prefer the 2G/3GS (sans cracking dock connector) backing to 4/4S), and really at this point there isn't much else HW wise I want them to innovate in.
Seriously? So we're judging the capabilities of the phone (and apparently the platform consider that's where this thread started) based on the external design of what might, possibly, conceivably be the next phone.
What sort of things does the case reveal if it's real? Design, change in the connector, larger screen. It doesn't reveal if there's improved GPS functionality, NFC chips, extended battery life, improvements in the camera technology, inclusion of LTE, new screen technology, speaker improvements, processor and/or GPU improvements, OS features that have yet to be revealed, or virtually anything else.
It's a case. It reveals the external appearance. If it's real.
You know I passed by a few things today that my Apple iPhone failed to notify me on. The iPhone these days isn't so "smart". In fact, unless I tell it specifically, it won't do anything.
It's irritating seeing all of these people complain about the next iPhone. If you don't like it, don't buy it! It's that simple. But we don't need to hear your constant bellyaching about it.

What does that even mean?
Most of these threads complain about how Apple isn't pushing the envelope. What is Android doing that is pushing the envelope? The only problem I have with iOS nowadays is the default browser issue. Not sure if that is going to change though. Just seems to me that most of these threads are just complaining without being very specific why you are complaining.
let me lay it out for you; those little whiny girls just want...
1. animated wallpaper (yea.
)2. widgets (which, to this day, I still find pointless; takes up quite a bit of screen space, yet show too little information...and battery draining)
they don't specify because they know how lame they would sound.
Don't forget more bluetooth switches. I need at least a bluetooth on/off switch on my lock screen, notification center, springboard, and main settings page.
Yeah Man! If the next iPhone doesn't have a hardware toggle to turn on or off the software bluetooth toggle in notification center... well that's an absolute deal breaker.
Ideally, every single Settings option would have a dedicated hardware button. Oh well, maybe iPhone 6s.
Just wondering here, with ML and iOS6, Apple could just be beginning to lay down the foundation work to begin to phase out OSX and move into a more iOS environment for their desktop and laptops?
Perhaps Apple will eventually drop Intel and begin making their own ARM based SoC's for their desktop and laptops. Kind of like how Windows 8 has a Metro start screen which will be on their tablets and Windows Phone 8 devices?

Apple is better integrating their products so they work together. It's making it easy for an iOS owner to get a Mac and know how to use it.
I recently killed my iPhone 4. I had it in pieces, and though slightly intriguing I found the engineering to be not entirely amazing. After fixing it with a new screen, and putting it all together, I was taken aback how those bits and pieced added up to so much more when the device was alive.
What I am trying to say is that iPhone is so much more than the hardware. What makes the iPhone is the software, the tangible way that the touch screen and animations work. A few pictures of leaked iPhone shells mean nothing in the scheme of things.

I heard to turn the Bluetooth, wifi, etc off in iOS 6 you can just throw your phone at the floor, the harder you throw it the more features it disables.
I actually like the incremental updates. Sure a big leap like Leopard was fun but that took over two and a half years to get there and the cost was $129. The yearly updates increase the usability of the OS inexpensively. Look from Snow Leopard to ML and there's been a big shift.
No signs of it at WWDC 2012. It appears Apple sees a clear difference between touch based apps and tradition mouse/kb driven apps.
Plus is causes more fragmentation. When OS upgrades where expensive people didn't upgrade as fast which means developers couldn't always take advantage of new features. In effect it stalled the delivery. Now with more incremental updates and cheaper OS pricing, users are more likely to move forward faster and developers are more likely to use new functionality.
