Not getting the phone quite yet, but have gone for IOS 6 on all the iPhones, iPods, and iPad in the family except one....................Some nice new touches but & BIG but I can't bear the loss of Google maps (proper, with street view). Not sure what the impact of this will be to Apple (going for (poor) in house maps), but Google has always been a great feature, I can still remember the first walk round London when street view first came on to IOS, it was a game changer with real wow factor....................
