    Explained to who? I don't follow all things Apple like a sheep, so I may have missed that.

    Well I don't follow apple "like a sheep" either but let me see where did i find out about it. Well tech weekly and twit podcast have said it multiple times over the past 3 months. It was in the indo last week. Matt Cooper was talking about iOS two weeks ago and they said it. It's been on the journal, the register, the guardian, joe.ie, here and tech central.

    Other than calling around to your house I'm not sure what else you expect them to do.

    I got an update prompt on my phone to install iOS 6, which I rejected. I now see that I only have 500MB of space left. According to iTunes, 2.5GB is being used by "other" and the Software Update page on the phone shows that iOS 6 has "downloaded."

    So will I have to update to get that space back? :mad:

    well it says the update requires 2.4 gig i think, surely that is a rip off, if you had an 8gig phone and had to use over a quarter of it for the operating software alone :eek:

    It said I needed 2.5gig free to update. So I deleted some stuff and ended up with 4.0gig free.
    Did the update and now I have 3.9gig free. So I assume it needs the space only temporarily while it performs the update.

    But you did back up first? and you did get latest itunes before attempting update?, if so why cant you just back up the phone and try again

    Yes I did a back up first. then got the latest iTunes. The phone went back to factory settings and now it says it's backing up when I plug in my phone to the laptop but it actually doesn't back yp properly if you get me. :(

    That's only if you are doing an over-the-air update. If you update via iTunes you don't need any free space other than what the OS needs.

    I was always a nokia man, but my last two mobiles were samsung galaxy mini and HTC. Never a fan of the iphone hearing about bugs and battery life etc. But heard great things about this new model. Anybody know how much it's selling for when it's released up in Belfast.

    It's already available in Belfast and I'm sure it's sold out by now. But the prices are £529 for 16GB, £599 for 32GB and £699 for 64GB.

    It was released on Friday, the maps are a disaster I thought they were ok but they were off on my destination by 27k today. If you use google maps / navigation you'll be very disappointed also the apps aren't made for the bigger screen so it's of no advantage just yet, I'd wait until the maps and apps are up to speed before shelling out for one.

    Few days of using iOS so far. iPhone 4 and new iPad (3rd gen)

    Bugs: Wifi has been negatively effected and I've now a much worse signal.
    Not a bug so much but I don't like the new dynamic bar which changes colour depending what app you use. It does just look like hotspot is on.
    Maps obviously but I knew they'd be a problem from hearing about betas.
    Passbook only start working a while ago. Before it was really frustrating.

    Pro's: Love new features. iMessage is great especially if you own another iOS device or Mac. Been replying from my MacBook and iPad the last few days. Overall speed improvements which has seemed to wipe out the sluggishness it had before. Safari is one of the biggest differences for me. Loads so much quicker. Shared photostreams, 3D flyover, Siri, do not disturb is something ill get little use from but still good to have. Like the new settings layout too, things seem easier to navigate and privacy has been made easier to control.

    One feature that I'll find really handy is the new accessibility features. The one app mode is great. Can now let my younger sister use it without the worry she'll be messing around at settings or deleting stuff. Also can let friends borrow the phone and not worry about my online profiles being filled with status' that are supposedly from me.

    Overall a worthwhile update i'd say. Only major problem for me is Wifi range has deceased. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

    For those concerned about the maps, you can still use the online version or the mapquest app is free

    Hook it up to iTunes, back it up and transfer your purchases then do a restore. This will upgrade it to iOS 6.

    For those lamenting loss of background playback , and the lack of decent airplay on the new YouTube app. There's an alternative. An iOS YouTube client called jasmine can be found in the App Store and its free. It has background playback, full screen airplay and there's an iPad version. It's only available for iOS 6.

    Hey,

    Apple removed the YouTube app in iOS 6. Also, there isn't one for the iPad yet but their is a youtube app for the iPhone in the App Store.

    Google are working on one for the iPad.

    For now what you can do is:

    1. Access YouTube from Safari

    2. Get the YouTube app for the iPhone and sync it to your iPad, it will look horrible though.

    Also in regards to the power not being turned off, might be a hardware issue, keep trying though, if not then schedule a repair with Apple.

    Depends, it seems some are happy and some are not. Overall Maps are a mess. If you don't rely on them then i'd say update. Your not loosing out on anything other than Maps. Also Google Maps will be released as a normal app in the App Store in the coming weeks. So it's only gonna be a temporary problem hopefully.

    I like that, also how app updates are done in the appstore it doesnt jump you back to the homescreen to show the app update status bar

    Try restoring as a new phone and there is no need to close apps from the multitasking tray. Only a few like Skype actually stay running

    as in dont have to double tap the home button? interesting didnt realise that.

    so far the only things I dont like are google maps being gone, auto brightness is broken, dont like the blue transparency bar at the top and that podcasts are no longer in music, that was handy to quickly change between if driving or something

    Are many having issues with wifi? Alot of my traffic goes across wifi, 4-5G a month, so dont want to run into issues there.

    How do i protect/backup my phone before starting the update?

    You backup to itunes or iclound.
    In itunes rightclick the phone and choose "backup".
    If you use icloud to backup to, in phone go to icloud and choose "backup now"

    I haven't noticed any wifi problems, just that it seems battery drains faster now, not sure but it feels like it's draining faster.

    I'm personally having issues where the range the phone used to reach has reduced. It's probably 10% weaker than before and now when downstairs I find it hard to get my wifi signal. But it doesn't seem to be widespread probably just a few people.

    If your updating OTA then just do an iCloud backup of your phone.

    When it comes to major iOS updates I always recommend connecting it to iTunes, making sure it backs up to your computer, and then update the phone that way. But just make sure your iPhone backs up either way. It should go smoothly though. It has for the majority of people.

    Have to say, haven't had any issues with it. Apart from the maps issue, which I only used sporadically, I'm pretty happy with it.

    Are these ones that you had previously downloaded and which synced across from iTunes when you connected your new phone?

    Any existing podcasts I had were still in Music but when I tried to download new ones I was directed to the Podcast app.
