> did they intentionally portray the maps as an advance in an attempt to keep iphone 5 pre-orders up? Given that Maps is the major change in iOS6, wouldn't it have been better to release the iPhone 5 on a slightly improved "iOS 5.2", and to keep iOS6 for the next iPad? Though that would have worked against Passbook :(
