No, Jack, I was quite clear. By dysfunctional load of tripe, I mean 2D maps are inaccurate.

I'm staying with iOS5 as iOS6 doesn't have anything 'killer' that convinces me to update.
I haven't bothered on either my iphone 4 or my ipad 2 and won't until i'm forced to update by apps i'm using demanding it.

Interesting to see O2 are doing the iphone 5 32gb for £299 and £26 a month. The minimum always used to be £35 a month with them. I saw an iphone 4 32gb same as mine go for £310 on ebay last night but I still don't think the 5 is worth an extra tenner a month to what i'm paying now for sim only.

That would be nice if true, have you ever been to Luton. Best place is Departures.

Well I used to get lots of pleasure with maps looking at my estate
I could even see my pond and sheds
Now it looks like someone has covered my garden with brown
Square blocks of manure

Also street view was nice too but it's gone
Never mind I can still use my iPad 1

Also in settings
Network is now cellular if yuu want to turn 3 g off abroad

Have to say, looking at the maps on my 4 on iOS 6 and the missus on iOS 5.1.1 Apples is diabolical! Good job I don't use them much!

I only posted the pics of google 3D maps as Jack stated that it was a phone first with iOS6, it doesn't matter that mine are simple 3D blocks. Apple are just doing their usual trick. Finding stuff that's been done before, putting their spin on it and passing in off as innovation.

Also, the new iPhone looks a lot like a Galaxy SII

iMessage? You can thank Motorola/Google for that.

I'm just lumping all these Map Moaners into one dead dog. It's the obvious thing to moan about and the press are loving that it's so visual. Many more like me can look beyond the satellite imagery and see the real benefit.

Yes plenty of benefits, it will never take you to Dudley though I dont know why you would want to go there anyway and it has all the Apple shops on, anywhere else is irrelevant

I think Apple are fixing them as fast as you can trawl the internet to find them Jon, you'll have to up your game.

Facebook integration with OSX is done well. I now need to visit the place far less, notifications look after updates from Close Friends.

Battery life of my Macbook with the latest update has gone up by 30 minutes, nice job Apple.
