Tis stupid imo, all they've done is integrate features into the os taken from other apps apart from a few tweaks here and there.

Coraline Thorn 09-20-2012 10:33 PM

I hate it, it took youtube and you need to get rid of everything to dowload it ^-.-^

Of course. Any functionality they like, they steal, integrate then remove all competition from their App Store (including those who originally invented/innovated it), citing they don't allow competition to their own internal features.

I hate all the iOS updates. Especially the one that integrated that stupid Notification Center which is useless and annoying as ****. Making more and more useless iOS updates is just an excuse to make people figure out how to rejailbreak all over again.

MSM 09-21-2012 02:15 AM

They should make it where you can customize your update. What I mean by that is, you can check off what you want to update/download, and it only downloads that. I also don't really think this update did anything, except the new siri update, and everything now has a different look. Once the Siri is done with Beta testing, i'll be happy for the update when Siri will be released for the iPod Touch 4th Generation.

iOS6 is absolutely awful. Wont be downloading it unless I need to for an app.

All it has is a bunch of useless features like facebook intergration/built in app updates and a few revamps nothing unique, shouldn't even be considered a major operating system update. iOS 4 had multitasking/push notifications I believe, that was a huge update.

Should just be considered a minor update like from 5.1 to 5.2.

I agree with this. One such example was openfeint(think that was the name). it was gaming account thing for iOS that let you add friends/have leaderboards and achievements that many companies used much like gamecenter, except it was unofficial. When gamecenter was introduced, openfeint died off because it was unofficial.

It's more a statement, they could call it iOS 5.2 but then they wouldn't have a brand new OS for their brand new iPod/iPhone. Think about it, also their chain would be broken. It's all just about appeal and milking the consumers from apples perspective now IMO.

Took a good 30min nap and the ate dinner while waiting for it to download... i dont like how they took away youtube, and new youtube app in appstore is dumb. everything else is useless. even already found a couple bugs.

PoeticFolly 09-21-2012 05:49 AM

My iPod is jailbroken, so I can't update it. I saw it on a few of my friend's phones. It looks terrible.

MrSimons 09-21-2012 06:53 AM

Ewwww... I hate it. Is there any way to downgrade?

Kiko 09-21-2012 06:55 AM
