Didn't know Manhattan was so lame. It's changed since I've been there.

Thanks for that, that's pretty bleak.

Apple maps vs google maps (UK)
They look useless.
Try zooming in the uk maps to get more info like you would in real life in g maps

Wow my iPhone 4 seems quite a bit faster. Plus Safari seems dramatically faster!
on the positive side, that’s a very nice little texture they’re using on the grass
hooooo boy

New maps is definitely low on info density but it's clean and has some obvious perks*.
Installed this puppy onto my iPhone today. Loving most things so far. Can't get over the touch-tone keypad color scheme though. Reminds me of when something goes wrong on Windows and the colors flip out on you.
*if you have an iPhone 4S. iPhone 4 users like myself are finally fucked

I'm willing to bet it was an intentional design decision to not have 'information overload' by showing you every single street. Not saying I agree with that decision, but surely manhattan would be fully mapped out.
Can you try zooming in further to see if more information would appear?

I also have no idea how to get the Turn-By-Turn working, is it not in this beta?
Yeah, I hate it actually...

I can't even get Maps to run. Every time I touch the search box, it just crashes. I'm on a 4S.
Click "Start"
Can anybody remember if there was anything above the clock in the status bar pre-iOS6? Looks strangely empty for some reason...
EDIT: Yep, it was an icon of a lock
It just gives me regular thumb-through directions with the new interface as opposed to that low down angled view in the promo shots...

Zoom in pls
Been on my friends list for a couple of years. He makes apps, I test em.
Did you download the correct version of iOS 6 for your device? The are multiple versions
iPod touch 4th gen
iPhone 4S
iPhone 4 GSM
iPhone 4 CDMA
iPhone 3GS
iPad 2 WiFi
iPad 2 GSM
iPad 2 CDMA
iPad 3 WiFi
iPad 3 LTE
Well, Apple does.
But, really, with Apple confirming that the vital local search stuff will now expand internationally with iOS6, Siri will be more useful and Ill care about it more than I do now.
Now its just for reminders and calendar events. I cant use it for anything else, really.
I am starting to wonder if downloading the wrong file. I have an iPhone 4s. I downloaded the file for iPhone 4,1 build 10A5316k.

Hell yeah. If they can keep improving on her recognition and ability to put together a search algorithm based on my questions then it would save tons of time.
Can you imagine her doing tiered searches on her own:
"Siri, what states were the last 10 US Presidents born in"
"Siri, What percentage of the time does Tiger Woods place in the top 5 when leading after 3 rounds?"
That's wrong. Make sure it's the 4S one.
It's not much better, gotta be way too zoomed in for anything to appear:
Making sweet use of the upload images from Safari feature for these

IIRC set the directions, then press 3D which allows you to use pan around to the low down angle then press start?
I would double check however I'm in bed and my phone is 2 yards away and its like the arctic outside of this duvet.

Much better looking. Still not sure why some apps have blue status bar and some black.
Eh, yeah you could get all these supplementary apps to make up for missing features, but without modularity (like android), its a half assed disjointed mess. Just not a very efficient way of doing things.
Glad to see that Apple realizes that to an extent and is opening up with these new APIs and continuing to add the features to their OS you would otherwise need an app for. I think unless Google IO really blows everyone away with some space-age futuristic shit, by IOS 7, we will see full parity between the two biggest mobile operating systems. At that point, I'm switching (unless Google can get their shit together).

I got it installed but my wifi is not working. It's completely greyed out in the system preferences. I can't turn it on or off. I am trying to do a restore.

Would you mind taking one more picture of NYC but closer to the empire state building?
I just went to grab the 4s one and the file name is the same. Do you know the right filename for the 4S?
Yes
Nope, still just the manual ones...
Anything that still uses the bluish "day" theme from before has the blue bar, silver/black themed ones have the black bar. (There also seems to be a weird dark blue one, but that might be a bug.

Well iCloud can be setup as an IMAP account, thus meeting all of the requirements you mentioned.

Pretty much everyone is bitching about the bleed in blue status bar so I wouldn't be surprised if they change it.

Here's a couple... Looks like they have a lot of the data, but it definitely needs some tweaking.
iPhone 4,1
Thanks, that is the one I have. Filesize is 918.4 MB...must be some other issue.
turn-by-turn directions.
Try putting your iPhone in DFU mode then restoring via iTunes.
Make sure when Restoring via iTunes to hold down option and clicking Restore then select the ipsw file.
Yep, but I think the transit options are more limited now without Google's transit data.
The new app also apparently can't find me directions between here and the Empire State Building, so I don't know what's up with that
I thought it was all about the apps?
