LMAO, I've been rocking the GM for one week (wi-fi working), tried wi-fi just a couple of minutes out of curiosity and indeed it loaded a login screen, followed by the success text, and then it just worked.

Silly Apple.

There's a thread on r/conspiracy about the new OS installing virus' that records you masturbating. Is this true?

Yes.

Yes and no, technically the virus has been there since the original iOS.

 

[Osietra]

Good to know.

 

[Lord Error]

That implementation is just mindbogglingly stupid. Offensive even. I didn't know ios devices were doing this.

 

[CrankyJay]

Ugh, updating my wife's iPhone 4 now and it seems to be hanging in the update process where the Apple and progress bar is on the screen. Fuck me.

edit: nvm, progress bar is moving, but this is going way slower than my phone was....

I guess that makes sense. It's still kinda weird though.

shakes my head, there got to be a better way to do this.

That's the second time I saw someone mention that. Do people hate Newstand?

Most people dont even use it.

Yes.

 

[DarkFlow]

Same wifi problem here - asking me to login. What the fuck. Also the new maps is horrific. Hopefully not long until Google release their own.

You really think apple will let Google release a maps app after all the hype they been doing for there own?

 

[LyleLanley]

I like newsstand, just not on my phone.

 

[Subterranean]

I like it on the iPad but it has no reason to be on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

 

[LeleSocho]

moments of terror

 

[Technosteve]

Apple built the Map's app not google, Apple doesn't have google's database anymore so they basically have to start over. From what i heard the data they have for maps is not super great.

 

[Enco]

My auto brightness doesn't work?

It doesn't change anything.

 

[Ragus]

I'm on iP4 I do not like iOS6 as it is now.

-appstore is fugly and runs like a joke
-white background on Phone and Music is terrible. Why can't I choose for fucks sake?
-new maps suck

Sticking to 5.1 on my iPad.

 

[tanooki141]

Wow, you can set alarms as songs from your iTunes library now.

I know that tons of alarm apps have that but its great for the native app to have it.

This would be kind of hot tbh.

Theyre using TomTom maps soo...

 

[CrankyKong]

Is there any information about how ios6 performs on an iPhone 4?
I dont wanna update if its worse than 5 is

 

[jb1234]

Still no Wi-Fi for me. It appears to be an unrelated issue to the one all you guys had. Looks like I'll have to do a restore.

 

[Ovid]

I love it.

I have The Economist, GQ, Businessweek and Newsweek on it. I just toss the paper subscriptions and use Newstand...lol. I'm really surprised folks don't use it.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Passbook won't connect to the iTunes Store.

That's the second time I saw someone mention that. Do people hate Newstand?

Wish I could delete it, I don't use it. :/

 

[cbox]

I'm on the ip4 and i'm looking for ways to go back to 5.1.1

if that answers your question...

 

[numble]

They already released Chrome and YouTube, and Baidu and other already have the maps app.
Besides, Google Earth is on the App Store. Basically another Google mapping service.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Odd so I too am having the WIFI problem. My second gen Ipad is fine but my 4S cannot connect to any WIFI networks. Come on Apple get it fixed

 

[Zaph]

Ugh, just realised that with Apple's Youtube app gone, there is no way to use Youtube as a music player any more

Using Google's Youtube app, the moment you turn the screen off, the audio stops.

I might actually jailbreak for the first time just to get that app back...

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

And the circle is now complete. Installed Mountain Lion update on my MacBook Air and Messages is working great. Loving the iCloud tabs too. All around a great day for the Mac/iDevice ecosystem.

 

[NYR]

Holy fuck this wifi thing pissed me off, what a pain in the ass. Finally got in.

 

[not_so_special]

At least i'm not the only one with the Wi-Fi problem
Apple need to fix this shit ASAP, now i'm unable to do anything with my iPad

yes,same problem with the wifi in the new ipad

 

[CrankyKong]

I'm having way better performance on an iPhone 4 than I was having with iOS 5, it seems to be the case to most people but ymmv. Maybe a restore (in case you haven't done one in a while) may help things if it seems to run worse.

 

[madmook]

iPod Touch 4G seems to be "snappier" overall. I was getting frequent bouts of mini-freezeups with 5.1.1

Might've even gotten me to hold off on getting a 5th gen Touch if I didn't have a lot of cracks in my screen from dropping it so many times

 

[twobear]

Does the fact that the UI is no longer uniform across Apple's own apps bug anyone else as much as it does me?

 

[Mr. F]

The spotty wifi thing is happening for me too, frustrating.

Aside from that, is anyone else having trouble with Passbook? I see the first time splash page explaining what the app does, but when I press the go to the App Store button it says "Cannot connect to iTunes store." However, if I just go to the iTunes store regularly it loads proper. Weird.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Wtf, the new Maps app doesn't even have a way to get directions for bus/subways?!

 

[Wario64]

iPhone users don't use public transportation (lol)

we can blame that on scott forstall aka crazy eyes aka Pro Skeuo aka he's the reason passbook has a fucking shredder animation.

God that shredder animation is so dumb lol

 

[Enco]

Seems like auto brightness works in the lock screen and not main screen.

Tried restarting. This is bull.

 

[Mr. F]

Just noticed that, really really dumb.

 

[Deadman]

If you stay on ios5 will the old maps app work forever?

 

[polyh3dron]

So whenever I try opening Passbook it tells me "Cannot Connect To iTunes Store" even though my connection works fine and I can open both the iTunes Store and App Store on their own. Am I doing something wrong?

I can agree with this sentiment. It was getting worse too before.

 

[Ragus]

...great

It runs fine, for me it's the same os iOS5, but AppStore is a fucking joke. While using it, I feel as if I were on my old Xperia x8.
