Does anyone know what this upgrade does exactly for the iPhone 4. I would like to add a icon to call contacts but I don't think that option is part of the upgrade reply
Should I download iOS6 for my iPhone4?

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
I seriously doubt that after all the publicity the new maps have gotten since the release of iOS 6, that someone who A) needed a feature not present in Apple maps and B) wouldn't be mostly content with maps.google.com would be asking if they should upgrade or not.
I think you overestimate how close the average smartphone user pays attention. The phone pops up and says there's a new version of the OS available for free, maybe along with something about all these new features. Most people don't read tech news and Apple doesn't normally remove features that tens of millions of people rely on every day.
Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, the button was not showing up. (is there a "cool down" on HN?)
I agree with the spirit of your post, but while it's not another antennagate, the "iOS6 maps suck" meme is definitely in the mainstream media consciousness[1]
