Damn mobile, anyway, now that they are separate from apple. The maps suck, everyone knows that. Nothing crazy different about it but I'm an apple fan, always have been. Hate all you want but there must be a reason that iPhones are the most popular phone in the world...

As much as I hate the update I'm pleased that the alarm lets you pick a song for your alarm. Before you had to buy a ringtone, and it couldn't be listened to as a song...

Pretty random, but has anyone noticed that the volume is lower when plugged into a FM transmitter for your car now?

I have to turn up the volume on my truck almost all the way to get a normal volume.

That's because apple maps only has 20% of the information that google maps has.

nah it's because it uses vector maps vs reloading the map every time you zoom in and out on Gmaps

Maybe, but it also only has 20% of the information. I have unlimited dat, I'd rather have a working map.

Yep, it's been super glitchy when checking the notification center for texts, they randomly won't show up for like 5 seconds even after I've gotten the text, plus when swiping between app screens it get's glitchy, and also when I use the lock button sometimes it takes a few seconds to lock when before it did it right away.

I want iOS 5 back.
