Well, what features do people here think are worth the upgrade?
I for one like the new privacy settings.
Passbook could be really interesting, but I think it'll be well over a year, before people in my country consider taking advantage of it.
- mikeash 14y agoOddly enough, the one thing that I really love is a much greater willingness to hop off of a weak WiFi network and onto cellular data. With iOS 5, my iPhone would stay on my home network long after I'd moved out of range, often forcing me to manually disable WiFi in order to e.g. get driving directions or listen to music in my car. With iOS 6, this problem is basically gone. It will struggle with WiFi for a few seconds, then give up and disconnect.

- mikeash 14y agoI can't find the option to explicitly use cellular when WiFi sucks, but it still seems much more willing to give up on WiFi connections. If the WiFi is strong but not connected to the internet, however, it still won't drop back to cellular, as I understand that prerelease option did.
