Earlier quoted context omitted.

And it has a shockingly beautiful animation of the settings icon. Truly just surprised me.

"Shockingly beautiful"? I just updated, and that may be slightly overselling it.

He is mocking Apple's keynote style.

I'd say iOS6 has one of the more buggy first releases that I can remember, so I'm hoping there's a fair bit of work been done.

Tend to agree with this. There's some great stuff they've added for developers, but even non-technical users like my parents have complained about some bugs — not to mention how awful an experience Game Center is.

I'm guessing that the maps app can be improved simply by updating their end of things and not exactly the actual application on the phone. Is this correct? I remember hearing that the dev team is updating and fixing issues, so is it just a covert type of thing that's going on in the background?

The complaints are almost universally about the quality of the data, which can definitely be fixed on the backend without requiring an update.

Where is this animation? I missed it.

The animation is in Settings on the Update page while the update is being downloaded.

It's funny... Only (and only) MapKit has new APIs!
