With all the iPhone 5 talk, no one mentionbed this. it will be interesting to see the new features designed to take advantage of the iPhone 5 tech and form factor. Might make people with 4-4s more inclined to upgrade.

I'm afraid to upgrade my 3GS again, it's slow and buggy enough as it is.

Not touching it until at least a jailbreak is available for iOS6, and even then I'm going to wait. Still not liking the loss of features in this "upgrade".

Not much advantage in upgrading a 3GS since 99 % of the iOS 6 features won't be available for it anyway.

Found a great article on this very topic!  although at the end they basically said I should go out and get a new phone already...

Lol!!

Well Apple haven't disappointed once again. They have issued updates to both iMovie and GarageBand that "REQUIRE" iOS 6.

Sure they do. ;)

Dan, these updates to the iLife apps (Pages, Numbers, iPhoto, GarageBand, iMovie) are HUGE! GIGANTICIAL!! :) I think the GarageBand update alone is 560mb...

All updated on the phone and the iPad.  So far, kind of cool.  Over 200 new features.  I just did a facebook post with Siri.  That was cool.

I have been and always will be, your friend.

Be nice if they actually offered a higher GB phone than 64GB.

Yeah they are crazy sized. I ended up deleting garageband the last time they did a big update because it took so long to download! Lol

It's crappy of Apple to try and shift people over to iOS 6 by dangling the carrot of attractive updates to apps. Even worse they prevent devices that are perfectly capable of running these apps from getting updates to force people to upgrade their phone. Not cool.
