Any one have it yet?

I haven't really seen a lot of difference yet.

I got it yesterday about an hour after my phone found the update (1pm) I honestly dont see anything in there to brag about... I liked the old siri more. Overall, I'm not impressed. However the new OSX update is amazing.

My brother does. He was really exited because apparently he is the one that put in the request for siri to open apps? idk what ever though. Not big deal to me just like IPod updates were.

The app store is a pain in the ass now. Oh and the keypad now has a white background (gross).

i only like the appearance of messages and music. There doesn't seem to be much difference on my iPod touch though, whereas other people receive siri and panorama.

I'm downloading it on my iPod Touch right now.
Doesn't seem to be anything major, though.

I got it yesterday. It's not really that different. I don't like the new App Store layout though. Also, when I first got it, it wouldn't let me connect to the Internet. I kept getting a popup and the connection would drop. The problem's gone now, but it was annoying.

I got it yesterday after I got off work for. With the update, I feel like it's easier to go through the app store then before. I like the way how they redid the music. It looks better then it did before. I was playing with Siri last night and it was pretty cool how it can open up apps and give you game scores.

Two things I hate, no more YouTube app built in. So now I had to download the YouTube app and all but I'd prefer the built in app. And SECONDLY, Map. The map now SUCKS!!! It isn't detailed at all in standard version. It's terrible. I hate it.

Other than that, I don't really see a difference.

Was going to add, does anyone know what Passbook is all about? I launch it and it gives me a list of what it can do, then a button for the App Store. That's basically it. Theres no option for like adding tickets or anything, just opens up a blank app store window. Wtf?

Bottom point, the old version in my opinion is better.

That's because it's iOS. You will never see any differences.

Changes I Noticed on my Ipad
Siri
Apple Maps
Clock
App store layout.

I Personally like the update only because of Siri, although sometimes it does the wrong thing

With Apple suing Google (or is Google suing Apple?), look for as much of a chasm between the two companies as possible. They'd be foolish to get rid of YouTube, so they just don't include it.

It's the same reason why Google Maps for iOS doesn't exist anymore...the two companies no longer are friends.

I'm okay with the update, to be honest. Sure, I'm not a big fan of some changes, but it's not a big deal. I don't even use the maps that often, so it's not a big deal to me. Especially the fact that it's "less detailed". You know what that means? Less clutter.

I don't either, its very android-ish

It looks like Helen Keller designed the new maps.

yeah I got it for both iPad and iPod Touch but it doesn't seem all that great to me and Apple maps wants me to jump off a bridge to get home.

Updating to it from iOS 4.3.5 right now...some of the features in iOS 5 are what I needed, and I've finally got the time to update. iOS 6, here I come.

Apple have fallen out with a lot of big companies now like Google and Adobe, which is very annoying because we could have had Flash...

well, i think its better- i mean i have absolutely no use (or really idea how to use) Passbook, the coupon app- but i like the new Facebook integration, and the Camera interface. So in the end, im pretty happy with it.
Im running an iPhone 4 with it, but im sure it would work so much better with an iPhone 5, as thats what its really made for

I have the iOS 6 on my iPhone 5, it's good but I don't like how the Youtube and Google maps are now deleted- the new maps is absolutely terrible! I've still got the old iOS on my iPhone 4 and sisters iPhone 4s though- I'm definitely not upgrading them! iOS 6 suites the new iPhone more.
I would advise to keep to the old iOS until a newer and improved iOS comes out!

Would someone like to tell me these "problems" that exist with the new Apple Maps? I've used it before and it works great, if not, better, than Google Maps for iOS

From what I've heard from people who have it it puts locations that are close far gives bad directions and some other stuff

I like it, for the most part. The springboard crashes every once in a while, when I open my messages. But really other than that, I don't have any problems with it. People are complaining about Maps, and personally, I haven't seen one problem with it. I HATED the old YouTube app. I like the new one a lot better.
I like the panorama camera feature, and FB integration. But other than that, there's not a lot that I've seen useful.

Choosing "Genius" in the app store is an automatic force-close. It's still not fixed even after the update.

I switched to android after ios4... never going back! :) gs3 ftw!
But I do like some of the things apple has done with ios6, like siri features and such.
