Earlier quoted context omitted.

The unfortunate thing is people need to use maps in order for maps to get better. I can already see few locations being corrected. But for now, looks like Apple's got a chicken and egg problem.

Could you please elaborate on that? Not sure I follow. If people use it, get wrong directions, how does it improve? Are users able to make corrections or?

The "report a problem" for wrong directions isn't particularly good though. It just has you pick one of your recent routes and then you enter in a comment saying what was wrong from memory. Google's system is better: you can pick which step is wrong and then there are radio buttons for issues like "illegal turn" or "incorrect road name".

Wait a little while with this update if you use the Facebook app. Since I installed 6.0.1, the Facebook app crashes immediately after starting. EDIT: Hmm, after 10 crashes it started to work.

Well, the update here just broke 3G and no cellular data is working. Iphone 4. Dunno if it's my network provider's fault or the update's.

Check your mobile data settings. They get wiped after every update for me.

Is it known if this fixes the 'dead wifi' bug? http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/wi-fi-issues-plague-i...

That was fixed pretty quickly: http://erratasec.blogspot.be/2010/09/apples-secret-wispr-req...

That's not it. This is an entirely different bug, the wifi 'enable' slider is grayed out and stays grayed out. Several iPhones in my vicinity (all 4s) have the exact same problem and so far I haven't found a way to fix it.

Ouch, that can't be fun :/ I haven't heard any solutions to that one in particular, but I can't say I've looked. Hopefully, though.

Maybe this will help fix the battery issues. My iphone 5 battery life is horrid, even with LTE disabled and all mail data being set to fetch instead of pull. Is there some known issue about this? I can't be the only one.

Backup, restore, restore phone from backup.

I had the same issue. My phone was also noticeably warmer. It was doing something. Now everything works great. Battery life even with LTE is quite good.
