Apple have pushed out the iOS6 update for the iPad,iPhone and iPod Touch. The update is for the iPhone 3GS up to the iPhone 5, the iPad 2 and the new iPad (but strangely not the original iPad) plus the 4th and 5th gen iPod Touch. The 760MB update according to Apple has over 200 new features including new maps, turn by turn navigation and 3D mapping.
I have feedback from a few people saying they don’t like the new maps in iOS6, what do you think about iOS6?
