Official counting down to iOS 6 forum party!

[djkillbill]

This is it. Today's the day. If history is any indicator, iOS 6 should land at roughly 10am PDT/1pm EDT today. I'm hauling ass to get our review ready, but if you're waiting like we are, why not wait with us?

What's your favorite new feature? Find any awesome hidden gems? Are you going to update over the air or install clean with iTunes? Anyone feeling left out because their device isn't getting something?

There's so much to discuss! We'll get the rest of the writers and staff in here, maybe give away some more stuff, and in general have some fun.

So, hang out and shout out. Who's ready for iOS 6?

Multiple Signatures for different email accounts in iOS 6. Huge addition IMO.

I can't wait for my wife's 4s to get the update so I can play around with it tonight while I wait for my 5 to arrive!

 

[soulsergeant]

Will it be available for the iPad 1?

I think it Stinks that iPad 1st gen which is only 2 years old is getting left out!!!!

[junovela]

What are you doing with your 4? Can help out the next person and play around today with iOS 6

Well, I think I'm selling it to a friend. But I'm gonna wipe it back to factory first, so I might play with it anyway... depends on how much time I have.

 

[ukcat_fan]

Is it me? The time seems like it is dragging.....Come on!!!!!!!

Tick tock, tick tock

Any iPhone photographers in here? Are you excited about the new camera features in iOS 6? I can't wait to give them a run through.

I will be in the process of trading up an iPhone 4 for a 4s. I am on an iCloud and a prayer today so I hope everything goes well.... By the way, I would like to reward myself with downloading that Prometheus movie so winning a gift card today would be awesome!!!

For some reason I can't reply to posts, but thanks to all that replied! I am so excited now! Hoping to get my very first iPhone on my updgrade date of Oct. 26th! Anyone know how to get a month early upgrade with Verizon, lemme know! Can't wait to have all my stuff on one operating system!

Waiting to put iOS 6 my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I will get Siri on the iPad 2 correct?

I don't think the iPad 2 gets Siri only the iPad 3. I am a little bummed about this, but oh well. I still love my iPad 2.

 

[KrisReynolds]

This will be my first update to my first iOS device. Any recommendations -iTunes or OTA?

 

[Anass_E3]

Waiting... Well im guessing the panorama will come to the 4S and im kinda looking forward to it and probabaly some of the slight UI changes n some more stuff i bet.

Is there a how-to post of freshly installing via iTunes? I'm at work and can't search to well. If not, there should probably be one (hint hint editors)

Thanks!

It is random. The iMore Staffers are trolling the thread and picking the winners at random.

I already have iOS 6 on both my iPhone 4S and iPad 3. Lifehacker had an article up last week with the GM builds so I installed them. I did it last year and had no problems so I figured I'd do it again.

I've been really enjoying the Do Not Disturb feature at night, as it allows me to keep my ringer on just in case someone needs me. I used the new reject-a-call-and-text-back-immediately feature last night while at work. Pretty handy actually. Panorama looks cool, but with school I haven't had a chance to go out somewhere good and try it yet. Hopefully it works as well as Microsoft's panorama app.

I haven't had a chance to play around with navigation in the new Maps yet, as my new to me car has navigation built in, making my iPhone's nav not really needed. Maybe I'll put the two up against each other. See who is better: older Acura or brand new iPhone. Which do you think will be?

All in all, iOS 6 is a good improvement on iOS 5. Nothing ground breaking for me personally, but I still really enjoy some of the smaller features.

Wouldn't it be funny if you could do extreme couponing on Passbook lol?

Actually I can see it helping couponers. I coupon myself using online coupons and passbook will help consolidate all that hopefully once more merchants get on board

That's a bummer. I was really hoping to get Siri for the iPad.
