    I remember getting the update for iOS5 handy enough on release date. I think I put it down to the fact I already had the iTunes update downloaded and was using the uni internet, so it was pretty good.

    As I have an iPhone4, would I not have a smaller update to download as I don't have Siri and all the updates that will go with that?

    I have the GM version on my phone. Will the phone suggest an update OTA for me or will it tell me that I am running the latest software meaning if I wish to get the official release I will have to do a RESTORE via iTunes, as opposed to a software update.

    Cheers....

    Apple's maps are an absolute disaster! I think I may have to hold off upgrading my iPhone until Google release a standalone app. The web version isn't an acceptable alternative and I have a funny feeling Google might delay the app as long as possible. I would strongly encourage anyone who relies on the Maps app to think twice before upgrading.

    And remember to make sure you have enough spare memory available on your device! Around a 1g just to be sure.

    I'm on 5 mins remaining here, although I remember going to iOS 5 that it told me a few minutes but the last minute was about 20 mins long.

    Maybe their new server farm will have fixed that though.

    Have to leave home and don't want to leave home without the phone. It'll be a few hours before I get to download it but I have my mam's phone updating now so I'll get to get used to it while my own is downloading. Maybe the delay will allow my download to go quicker later on!

    Is Apple Maps really that bad?

    Might not bother if they're just terrible, I love the maps app.

    Is there anything other than Google maps that will be removed if you update? I haven't heard anything about this! :eek:

    (Didn't think I was, but must off be living under a rock!? Or have Apple conveniently not publicised this?)

    P.S. Using Iphone 4 not 4s :)

    Stuck on 23 minutes. (now at 24 actually following writing this up)

    Hmmm, when will big commercial companies start using p2p for this sort of thing? It would be of huge benefit, though you'd probably get people seeding bad data, etc.

    The native Youtube App is also going...but its already been replaced by an improved one that went live last week in the App Store (few useful features missing from it though - like 'history').

    Can anybody who is now using iOS6 comment on the new Maps App? I've read that its particularly lacking in detail for Ireland. Annoying too is the removal of Google Streetview in iOS6. I found Streetview a very handy feature for identifying addresses/shops that I hadn't been to before.
