Discuss. I still think they need widgets...maybe. At least at-a-glance info in the lock screen/notification center.
Got a tip for us?

I can't believe we are now on the 6th iteration of iOS and still don't have a quick way to access settings toggles (Notification Center for example). From the keynote pics, it looks like the Bluetooth toggle has been moved out to the front page of the settings app. This is a good start but they could have done so much better.
This was a feature I was really hoping for as well. I also don't see why we can't have a quick reply to message either.
Don't worry, instead of quick access to the settings they put Facebook and Twitter shortcuts there.
WTF!?
What about the YouTube app that hasn't been updated for years?
Live icons?
Third party widgets in notification center?
Spotlight integration into the notification center?
Zephyr integration?
Safari unified address bar?
Private switch IN Safari, not in settings?
Prevent shut down when the phone is locked?
Other than Maps, which look like don't have an offline option, what was impressive?
Apple is getting really stale with iOS, Forstall should stop watching those Giants less concentrate on iOS more.
Toggles: been using sbsettings for years and apple has not copied/bought it.

I can keep going, but those are the ones at the top of my head for which I like to jb the iPhone. Who knows, when they release the new iPhone they will show features and some of these things might be fixed or maybe in iOS 7...
The new Maps app looks awesome, but I think if it's fully online then it will consume a lot of data which is seriously capped by carriers, I can see maps images & Siri speaking consuming a lot. Maps needs to be offline at least in 2D for replacement of TomTom and similar apps. Online = more battery consumption.

So how was was your third year of kindergarten? Did you finally pass to first grade now?
Lockscreen widgets, homescreen widgets, more customization, have the option to not be so locked down
iMessage
I really wish they would incorporate the ability to reply to iMessages, sent to your phone number, from your iPad and/or Mac Computer. None of my contacts use my email address as their primary texting address and therefore id like to be able to answer my phone number iMessages from my computer or on my ipad.

Agreed. I'd also like the ability to open a web link in an alternate browser (Atomic, iCab, etc..) instead of Safari.
Really letdown, nothing I wanted got an updsate, no widgets, just the same old stale ui, rows and rows of icons, we didn't even get a simple notification icon. Apple is really falling behind with the iPhone, new Macbook looks awesome though, guess they forgot this was a full point upgrade, this feels more like what 5.2 should be.
Ability to 'snooze' when you get a calendar reminder popup. I use this all the time at work in Outlook. This concept has been around for decades. Not sure why Apple refuses to add this feature.
